Language Acquisition: French and Spanish

Grade 9

In the heart of our IB MYP curriculum lies a vital component - Service. It's a facet that our Grade 9 students have embraced with great dedication in their Language Acquisition Class (French and Spanish).
This term, they embarked on a journey to delve into an issue close to their hearts: Mental Health in Teenagers.

Our students incorporated the service element, aiming to raise awareness about the challenges adolescents face here at GIS. Through comprehensive surveys among their peers, they meticulously compiled their findings into a report, mirroring the formats of organisations like the WHO, which we've extensively studied in class.

Their reports not only demonstrate the use of impressive designs but also encapsulate invaluable insights and ideas. These findings are now being disseminated throughout our school, ensuring that the voices of our students resonate loudly and are duly heard. While we already utilise platforms like Upstrive and benefit from the exceptional support of our counsellors, who play a pivotal role in student well-being, there's a realisation that the students themselves hold unparalleled insight into their own needs.

Now armed with their research, our students are poised to express themselves in various forums, including assemblies and Term 3 activities in Advisory. These platforms will be tailored to foster open communication and empathy, nurturing an environment where every voice matters.

The enthusiasm with which our students embraced this unit was palpable, resonating deeply with our Global Context Exploration of "Health and Wellbeing." They've not only grasped the importance of “collecting and analysing data to identify solutions” but have also honed their skills in “reporting results” - a testament to their development of essential ATL skills such as Research.

At the core of their message lies a powerful reminder - that no effort is too small to effect change. They've learned firsthand that presentation and format are not merely superficial elements but serve as the gateway to making a lasting impression.

In embracing this endeavour, our students have demonstrated their academic prowess and also their commitment to making a positive impact in their community. Let's continue to support and amplify their voices as they navigate the path towards creating a healthier, more empathetic world.
