| If someone can't think of anything good (above) you haven't visited my school. This is the best school in the area. The school takes care of all of their students. | The only bad thing about this school is what your neighbour thinks when you say you are at GEC. I think you should ask some kids here about what it is like. The uniform??? - oh please - they look better than most private schools. | If you want a good education and a place where you'll belong - go to GEC. The whole school is fantastic. | ||
