Opening Ceremony (SY 2026 - 2027)

Every student experiences 12 special days throughout their 12 years of schooling. Though it repeats year after year, whenever that day knocks on the door, the fluttering excitement and joy remain as fresh as the very first time.

It is the anticipation mixed with a little nervousness of Grade 1 students attending their very first Opening Ceremony.

It is the excitement and eager expectation of Grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 students as they feel a bit older and become role models for the younger Grade 1 pupils.

It is the pride of Grade 6 and Grade 9 students taking their steps into a new school level and embarking on a fresh journey of knowledge.

And it is perhaps the nostalgic stir in the hearts of Grade 12 students, realizing that this is the final time they will hear the opening school drum sound.

Even many years from now, long after leaving the school gates behind, anyone's heart will likely swell with fond emotion as the weather turns into the golden autumn days of September, and schools begin to buzz with flags and flowers.

On September 5, 2026, GFS Ecopark Campus will officially hold the Opening Ceremony for the 2026–2027 Academic Year. This ceremony not only marks the start of a new school year, but is also a true festival for students, teachers, and parents alike.
