Revan Senaratne Selected for Sri
Lanka
From the Athletic Director
This certainly has been a fantastic week for GIS Sport. The School now boasts two
students that compete at a Junior International Level in Swimming and our U18 Boys
Football Team remain unbeaten as they clinched the ISAC 2016 title in a tense final. It just
goes to show the potential that our students possess.
This week the leaders within the Sports and PE Department hosted an evening discussing
‘The Current Provision of Sport and PE and Future Direction’. I invite anybody who
was unable to attend the meeting but wishes to know more to please get in contact with
me and I will happily discuss or send details regarding our vision for all students, parents
and staff.

International Selection
Revan Senaratne selected for Sri Lanka Swim Team
Revan Senaratne has been selected for the South Asia Swimming Championships 2016,
which take place next week. He will represent his home nation of Sri Lanka against the
best swimmers from their region.
In July Revan travelled home to take part in their national championships, where he
secured 4 gold medals and with them, fast enough times to make the team.
Revan arrived at GIS in 2015 and has made huge progress in that time, becoming a top
team mate alongside his individual ability in the water.

Revan will take part in the 200 IM, 200 Freestyle, 100 Freestyle and 100 Butterfly as well
as 4x100 Medley Relay, 4x100 Freestyle Relay and 4x200 Freestyle Relay. We wish him
well in his events and look forward to hearing about his results.

Player Safety Top Priority at GIS
GIS announces introduction of Return2Play Concussion Policy
Garden International School is pleased to announce the inclusion of a ‘Graduated
Return2Play Concussion Policy’, as part of its ongoing commitment to ensure excellent
standards of care for its pupils taking part in sports.
Concussion awareness has been high on the agenda for many sports teams, schools and
sport bodies in recent years, as reflected in the introduction of concussion guidelines and
training from the RFU, as well as increased investment in concussion and brain injury
research.
Our return2play concussion policy is designed to improve communication between staff,
parents and pupils to ensure that students are managed correctly in every sphere of
activity, whether in or out of school, while they recover from their concussion.
5
Concussion , and its long term effects, is rightly becoming an increasingly prevalent
concern amongst parents, coaches and players. Whilst there are risks associated with
sport, we believe that, when injuries are properly managed, the benefits of involvement
far outweigh those risks. We’re delighted to be working alongside Florence Chan and the
medical team at GIS to help provide a gold standard of care. By doing so we know that we
can significantly reduce the risk of any long-term harm caused.

magnificently for their houses. Throughout the day each of the houses held the lead in the overall
competition and the final positions were decided by the last few relay races. The final results will be
announced in the results assembly on the 25th October 2016.

U18 Boys Win ISAC Tournament 2016
Character shown in the Final to Win 5-3 v Alice Smith
v Tenby Won 11-2
v Alice Smith B Won 14-0
Final v Alice Smith A Won 5-3
It was another fantastic night for the U18 Boys Football team as they cruised their way
through the league stage for a showdown with Alice Smith School in the Final. After
taking an early 3-0 lead we looked comfortable and in control of the game. However,
Alice Smith pulled the score back to 3-3 asking questions whether GIS could regain the
upper hand for a second time. The boys showed their mental toughness to score another
2 goals and the final score was 5-3 to GIS.
The boys are unbeaten so far this season and there are whispers to suggest this team
may have what it takes to cause an upset at SEASAC 2016.

U15 Boys Qualify through to ISAC Final in November
Fantastic Performances and Perfect Start
v BSKL Won 4-0 ( A Masoudi x2, B Marsi, B Soo)
v Alice Smith Won 1-0 ( A Masoudi)
V Tenby Won 3-1 ( J Ida, A Masoudi x2)
The GIS dragons U-15 football team couldn't get off to a better start to their season with
playing 3 games and winning all 3! In the first game, dragons played against BSKL which
the first game finished 4-0, with goals coming from Ali Masoudi scoring 2, Bence Marsi
scoring the third and Bryan Soo scoring the 4th. The GIS dragons looked strong going
into the next game against the KL rivals, Alice Smith. The game was very close, with both
teams giving all they had, but a solo effort from Ali Masoudi was the decider in that game
ending 1-0. Dragons going into the game with 5 scored and 0 conceded. Last game was
11
against Tenby, which if GIS dragons won, they would qualify from their group. The game
started slow as all players had given their all during the last two games. But the dragons
knowing that if they won they would qualify, they gave the extra. A good long range effort
from Jun Ida gave the dragons the lead. Sloppy defending from Tenby made Ali Masoudi
pounce on it and score the second for the team. The second half started with a solo goal
from Tenby after bad defending from GIS. It was all to play for now. But a brilliant solo
goal from Ali Masoudi after a pass from Jun Ida was the decider of the game. GIS dragons
had now won their first 3 games with scoring 8 goals and only conceding 1.
