Swiss International School Hong Kong (GSIS) celebrates the
realisation of its Peak Campus Development Plan with a
festive event and an Open Day on 11 November 2016.
Following the opening of the Middle Building and the newly

the final phase of the Campus Development Plan was completed
and the Primary departments have moved into the refurbished
Upper Building of the Peak Campus at the start of the 2016-17

The campus development included the provision of modern
classrooms, student break-out areas, and new offices for teachers
and administration as well as state-of-the-art science laboratories, a
brand new Black Box Theatre, a spacious cafeteria, and a year-round
swimming pool. The Upper Building features a new Atrium and

community.

maintain its position as one of the leading international schools
in Hong Kong. To sustain a learning environment that supports
the latest learning methodologies and gives students every
opportunity to realize their potential, based on their needs, talents
and stage of development, is crucial for their success”, says Annette
