Dunedin Diaries
Aimed at encouraging an enriching curriculum beyond classrooms , our 3rd batch consisting of 21 students
visited New Zealand in September on a 10 day Student Exchange Program in association with St . Hilda ' s Collegiate School , Dunedin . The cultural exchange programme was choc a bloc with stimulating activities wherein our students visited a chocolate factory , went sailing to see whales , sighted albatross in gorges and enjoyed the amazing beaches while infusing the heritage of the country .

GPS played the perfect hosts and welcomed all the former GPSites back to school in July , 2016 . The “ Alumni Meet-2016 ” was an action packed one with friendly football and basketball matches between the former and present students . The current students entertained the alumni with dance and games . It was definitely an emotional day replete with nostalgia as the alumni met their teachers and friends at their beloved alma mater .
