Today, the Junior School held its first student parliament session for 2024, where all our student leadership teams came together to explore the following two questions regarding AISM:
What’s working well? What could we do better?
It was incredible to hear from our students from Foundation through to Year 5 on these questions.
Some of their thoughts:
- “People are playing well together on the playground and getting along with each other.”
- “I see my friends helping me.”
- “My camp was amazing! It’s the first time I have been away from my family for a long time. I was brave and so independent.”
- “I have enjoyed joining this school and making so many new friends.”
- “It’s nice to hear people using their manners in the Canteen line.”
- “I wonder if the food prices could be lower?”
- “Do you think there could be more froyo topping options?”
- “We could have a 100 storey tree house for everyone to play together.”
- “Playtime could be longer.”
- “Could we offer language games during break times?”
- “Can we make our uniforms more comfortable?”
We then gathered in our teams to explore our goals for this year and what they look like across each term. We made a plan!
