Student Leadership

Executive Team Recruitment

Greetings to the Global Jaya Secondary community from the Secondary Student Council, With the completion of the 2024 Executive Team recruitment, the year 10 students were allowed to show their critical thinking, critical thinking, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills. From the event's organization to the decision-making process, we thank everybody who has supported us and made this recruitment event possible.

As the Year 10’s move up in student council, they can sign up as an executive team member to further their contributions within the organization and the school community. We would like to thank the current Year 11 presidents and executive team for taking the time to help prepare and execute this event alongside the vice presidents. Before the event date, much had to be done, from getting the proposal approved to preparing all relevant documents for the candidates to have a smooth experience during this recruitment process. Approaching the event date, the current executive team members worked hard to create a cohesive schedule for all members, case studies that students would conduct, and prepare interview questions for the candidates. On April 6th, 2024, the secondary Student Council officially completed the recruitment process for Batch 26’s Executive Team. Students from Year 10 were allowed to sign up for different roles, such as the following:

● Treasurer

● Secretary

● Head of Public Relations

● Head of Publications

● Head of Events

● Sales Representatives

● Sales Promoters

● Designers

● Documentation

● Media Handler

● Sponsorship Liaisons

● Sports Liaisons

● Arts liaisons

● Internal Officers

Upon application, students had to fill out a Google form. Before the interviews, students had to complete a case study relating to their respective roles so that the current executive team could see their critical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and problem- 

solving skills. One example of a case study was for the role of Head of Public Relations., where the candidate for this role had to select a prompt and conduct it; this is the example of prompt 2:

The PTA and SSS would like to create a large event where GJS alumni and representatives of various universities will converge on GJS for a week to discuss their respective careers and the university application process. As Head of PR, you are tasked with arranging the council’s response and course of action. Do you think the event merits using all of the council’s resources? Would you like to contact the PTA, SSS, or school leadership to make changes to the possible event? Write your plan down below, and be prepared to justify your answer.

The actual interviews took place on April 1st and began after school. The presidents and vice presidents were the primary interviewers and were paired with a year 11 executive team member whose role was the same as a candidate's first option. Although the decision was hard, after multiple meetings and deliberation, we decided on students who not only excelled during the interview but had proven themselves as qualified candidates outside the selection process. 

Congratulations to the new members, and thank you to all the students who applied and showcased their exemplary leadership potential. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events such as Induction Day, Halloween Movie Night, HawksCup, and more!

Greetings to the Global Jaya Secondary Community from the Secondary Student Council, 

The Student Council (StuCo) of Global Jaya School is thrilled to announce our successful Pasar Murah event, which took place on Saturday, May 4, 2024. This initiative aimed to provide affordable essential goods to those in need within our community, reflecting our commitment to empathy, solidarity, and community service.

Students were split into two main divisions for the event: the clothing section and the sembako section. Jana Sofia Nirbita from Y10 was the person in charge (PIC) for the clothing section, while Nadindra Selativa Aisyah from Y11 took the lead for the sembako section. This division of responsibilities ensure smooth operations and allowed us to serve our community efficiently. The aim of selling sembako packages was to make essential goods more affordable for the local community by offering them at half the actual price. This initiative ensured that even those with limited means could access vital necessities.

The journey to Pasar Murah began weeks before the actual event. Almost every day after school, student council members from Year 7 to Year 11 volunteered to help organize and pack the sembako (basic food packages). Our goal was to prepare 100-200 packages each day, and thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, we were able to assemble a total of 600 packages. Of these, 100 packages were designated for the Global Jaya School (GJS) staff, and the remaining 500 were for the local community near the school. Special thanks go to Bu Wawa and the GJS staff team, whose support was invaluable throughout the packing process and on the event day.

In addition to the sembako, we also collected donations of preloved clothes from students. Over roughly two weeks, students dropped off their donations at Plaza A. The day before the event, student council members from Year 10 and Year 11 sorted the clothes by type and categorized them into different price ranges, from Rp 10,000 to Rp 30,000.

On Friday, May 3, we began selling the sembako packages to GJS staff members. We distributed vouchers worth Rp 50,000 before the day, which staff members could exchange for the packages, paying the balance in cash. Each package contained 2 liters of cooking oil, 5 kg of rice, 1 kg of sugar, and 5 packs of instant noodles. This activity, held in the backstage theater, was a fun and enriching experience that allowed us to interact with and support the GJS staff.

The main event on Saturday saw student volunteers arriving early in the morning gathering in the primary drop-off area to prepare. Our StuCo supervisor, Ibu Widya, the GJS staff, and a few other teachers were also on hand to assist. We started by setting up tables and chairs, then moved the sembako packages from the backstage theater to the primary drop-off area, with significant help from the staff team. We laid out the area and determined the flow for people entering and exiting the event.

The clothing section was a bustling area where preloved clothes, sorted and priced at a very cheap price, were displayed. Volunteers helped community members find items that suited their needs and preferences. The clothes ranged from casual wear to more formal attire, providing affordable options for everyone. In the sembako section, community members exchanged their vouchers for the food packages. Volunteers managed the distribution, ensuring that everyone received their packages promptly. The sembako packages included essential items such as cooking oil, rice, sugar, and instant noodles aimed at providing substantial relief to families. It was great to see all of the smiles on everyone's faces during the entire process.

The Pasar Murah event was a tremendous success, thanks to the collective efforts of students, staff, and teachers. It was an eye-opening experience that taught us the value of empathy and community service. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to this initiative, from donating clothes to packing and distributing goods.

This event would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Bu Wawa, the GJS staff, our StuCo supervisor Ibu Widya, all the teachers who helped, and all students who volunteered either during the preparation or on the day. Your dedication and hard work made a significant difference.

The Pasar Murah event demonstrated the power of coming together to support those in need. It was a day filled with kindness, teamwork, and a strong sense of community. We look forward to continuing our efforts in serving and uplifting our community through future initiatives. Thank you to everyone who participated and supported us along the way. We hope that this event will become a tradition in future years. We can't wait to see you all again at our next event!
