Perspective student leaders are now reaching the stretch as many have submitted applications for student leadership. There are many roles that students have applied for, each with it's opportunity to help our community grow, learn and be aware.
Above, we can see even our youngest perspective leaders are showing their best communication and writing skills in anticipation of joining student leadership. Homeroom teachers supported students through the process with the final applications coming in today.
We are excited to see the responses of the students as we know that their ideas are creative and original, often changing the way we approach events and initiatives. We are also incredibly proud that hundreds of students in grades 2-5 have applied to potentially become a school leader. We hope to offer unique opportunities like this throughout the year inside and outside of the student leadership group.

This week has been incredibly reflective for our perspective student leaders in grades 4-5. Ms. Aamna discussed the concept of IKIGAI with students through a video in which she outlined how this concept relates to selecting a student leadership path. The paths here at GIS for young leaders are diverse, so making sure to follow the best path leads through IKIGAI reflection levered through classroom meetings.
By Friday of this week, students in grades 4-5 will have submitted their interest in a specific leadership path. Grades 2-3 will begin their journey early the next week as they too enter into the process.
Finally, our Eco Warrior teacher team has already begun with an initiative that our new student leaders will jump in on: Plant a Legacy. Much more to come on this but the PYP is excited to be working with secondary students towards leaving an eco legacy...

Our year has truly started off on the right foot. The Primary Leadership Team along with PYP support specialists hosted a grades 4-5 assembly in which they welcomed students to a new school year! School leaders presented school policies and procedures as well as how students can contribute to the school’s mission and vision.

Students were then taken through an empowering activity in which they explored their creativity through ideating and brainstorming. Students from upper primary were left with a challenge to develop 100 ideas from one item. Let’s see if they can reach their goal!

Finally, the house champions cup was presented to our winners and reigning champions from last year, The Red Raptors. Along with the presentation of the trophy, students were on the edge of their seats as they were introduced to the new student leadership structure for this year which includes the addition of grade-two students as well as new leadership opportunities.

We look forward to exploring the opportunities for school leadership and how each person can lead a positive change at any time and from any place.
