  • – Amanda Chaval, Choral Director

    I had heard that the GNS community had a very strong sense of community and values, and that was something I really wanted to be a part of. When I first met the GNS team I just found they were really friendly, and I felt very welcomed.

  • – Peter Richmond, Physical Health Education

    Before coming to the school, my interactions with GNS were through substitute teaching, and competing against, via coaching. I felt a strong sense of community at both campuses, and I met dedicated, enthusiastic teachers that genuinely cared for the kids. GNS has a very positive energy about it!

  • – Sarah Riddell, Language & Literature

    I really wanted to find a school that felt like a second home—a place where everyone works together to do our absolute best for the kids. GNS has that feeling for me. My colleagues are incredibly supportive, collaborative and, honestly, really fun to spend time with. The school has a constant ‘buzz’ of positive energy, and I see every day that the students genuinely feel connected and happy being here. It’s a pretty fantastic place to be part of.
