International Friendship Day
Radio Montfort was up playing again in the morning. It was international friendship day and parent volunteers from the parent support group came early in the morning to prepare food for the boys. Morning prayer and reflection, as well as assembly talk, was about international friendship day.
Contact Time
At Contact Time, there was a sharing about school bullying by Trevor and how there is zero tolerance in the school for such incidents. There was also a sharing about how bullying must be stopped with the form teachers playing a most critical role in building class unity and esprit de corps which would be inclusive in nature. Subject teachers play a similarly imporant role. It was the moral obligation of all teachers to do so. Outside of the classroom, even when there are such incidents occuring all teachers must have the moral courage and obligation to intervene and adopt the right measures. It is about justice, duties and obligations.
There was also a sharing about wholistic report cards and school graduation certificates which would be prepared at the end of the year. Teachers could use the following structures to do so.
a. Sportsman (Describe using an adjective. Give evidence from his CCA, NAFA, School participation data)
b. Scholar (Describe using an adjective. Give evidence from his academic performance and level of curiosity and inquisitiveness.)
c. Leader (Describe using an adjective. Give evidence from his CCA and leadership positions)
d. Gentleman (Describe using an adjective which summarizes his character - whether compassionate or discerning. Give evidence from his willingness to help others and Community Involement Project records)
An additional tip was given.
(i) Use the thesaurus ; (ii) When concerned about grammar and language. Keep the sentences short.
Subject Combination Talk
In the evening, there was a subject combination talk held for Sec Two students and their parents. Several students came on their own accord because theire parents were busy working in the evening. More than 80% of all parents/students came. It was a huge success. It warms the heart to know that many parents give the school their full support.
