MANIFESTO | @JAMFORGSIS
IB/IGCSE INFO
Information session for Y9 students
to learn about their IGCSE options
from Y12 prefects
An IB version of this exists for Y11s
but takes place after subject
decisions are made. We would like
to host this event earlier so
students can make a more informed
choice
COMMUNICATION
Student life website to easily relay
updates and important information
to the student body
Google Hangouts groups for the
head students and each year
group’s SVs to increase the ease
and regularity of communication
MEHAK-ING JENNUINE CHANGES
MENTAL WELLBEING
Our school can feel like a pressure cooker, and with the added turbulence of the
past school year, we want to make mental wellbeing the focus of our campaign.
STUDENT WELLBEING COMMITTEE
- Allow students to have input on their mental support
- Work with the counsellors and existing teacher committee
This committee has already been created and includes Jade Poon (Y12), Aerin
Mok (Y12), and the current head student team.
WELLBEING WEEK
- Hold it later in school year when there is greater need
- Take each year group off timetable for a student symposium where
they can discuss and strategise solutions to the wellbeing issues they
care about most
- Invite guest speaker Jared Horvath, a neuroscientist (we’ve attended
one of his talks before and he’s terrific!)
CLASSROOM FEEDBACK
Anonymous feedback forms from students to teachers at the end of every
team. This already exists in the German stream
SCHOOL SPIRIT
HOLIDAY EVENTS
- Raffle tickets with bubble tea and a GSIS hoodie as prizes
- A huge winter bake sale with food from different cultures to celebrate
Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, and more
We would work with the GI Committee to give all proceeds to a meaningful
cause (e.g. Vision First, Crossroads).
GSIS VERSION OF THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
So students can celebrate and compete over their quirky, unexpected talents!
