Local Community Service

Case Study 1 - Language Proficiency Council

This student council aims to make students feel comfortable speaking English, a necessity for successful communication in an International School, without being afraid of making mistakes and peer pressure. To achieve this aim, the team have been creating initiatives that students can engage with to exercise their English skills comfortably in and outside of class. In The Language Ambassador Program, established by the Language Proficiency Council, students nominate themselves as ‘ambassadors’ who promote the use of English in their classroom and are readily identified by their Language Ambassador badge.

Case Study 3 - Eoulim Project

Living in harmony as a community on Jeju island requires making connections through our assets. At Branksome Hall Asia art and music (assets) are lending themselves to many different manifestations of student-initiated service activities. The needs (debits) of marginalized communities around us indicate that we have the social potential to maintain the balance and promote harmony.

One project that has developed over the years is:

“The Euolim (Harmony) Project” which supports marginalized communities on the island to experience the Arts within a range of mediums (music, art, and language). Through various current initiatives, students are empowered with the knowledge and skills necessary to give back to the community. Current Initiatives and partners that fall under this project are: Muselpo children’s center, Daehwa community center (GreenNarae), Angel House, Art Murals in the Andeok Miyeon village, Jenam Children’s center, Doeksu Elementary School and Good Neighbors in Jeju-si.

The project continues to build and develop partnerships with various schools and welfare centres on the island.

Case Study 3 - Service Council

The BHA Service Council is the driving force behind whole school service initiatives in line with our school mission to Shape a Better World a our Service Pillars, which are the facets of service character being developed in our community. This involves different whole school Service Actions, which they coordinate, such as fundraising, advocacy and the provision of direct support in our community.
