School History
Since the presidency of Mohamed Amin Didi, the first President of the Republic of Maldives, educational activities have been conducted on this island. During those early days, there were no established schools, and teaching took place in locations such as 'Uthuru Avashu Kaaduge', 'Sitha'thage', 'Ku'nburu Ge', 'Aage', 'Finihiyage', 'Mudhibege', and 'Neelofaruge'.
Instruction focused on Arabic writing, Thaana, the Holy Quran, mathematics including numbers, addition, multiplication and division, and religious knowledge. Religious knowledge was taught from texts such as 'Irushadhulanaam', 'Thauleemuh Diyana', and 'Dhurusul Ahlaagu'.
In 1975, after registering with 'Vuzarathul Maarif', now known as the Ministry of Education, under the name 'Makthabul Hudha', a formal school was established. Among the notable teachers who contributed to the school during this time were Abdhul Gadhir Moosa, Lojehi Thuthu Didi, Gulhi Vaseem (G.M.), and Baa Kaendhoo Ibrahim Hussain (Ghazee).
Gulhee Madharusa was inaugurated on 26 May 1992 under the leadership of Ahmed Hussain / Roazmeed, K. Gulhi. At that time, the school employed six dedicated teachers who worked diligently to provide quality education, including English as a subject for grades 1 through 7.
On 1 August 2005, the community school was renamed "Gulhee School." Following this transition, it became a government school and has since operated under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. At that time, there were 20 teachers, and secondary education commenced in 2006. The school participated in its first international examination in 2008.
Gulhee School's enduring goal is to use the latest educational facilities to provide high-quality education to our students. We strive to guide our students to follow rules and regulations, uphold the reputation of their country and school, be honest with their leaders and parents, respect their teachers, and engage in their studies diligently.
We take pride in nurturing students who are religiously devout, well-mannered and prepared to contribute positively to society. Ameen.
