Our service group uses extended homeroom discussions in order to educate students in various grade levels. We hope to make FIS a safer and more inclusive environment. We hope that students will use this information when interacting with the world. We have done 3 extended homeroom discussions so far, with the class of 2023, the class of 2028, and the class of 2029. Each time, we have discussed the topics below, with varying group members.
The results from the survey we sent to the upper-school were our main inspiration for the extended homeroom discussion. Within our discussion we addressed concerns and statistics from the survey.
