SCHOOL PROTOCOL

On Formative Assessments

If there are students who will be found out to have a contagious illness in school, the following standard procedure will be fol-lowed: First, the students will be sent to the clinic,

and there they will be asked to stay to pre-vent viruses from infecting others.

Second, the School Nurse will be calling the parents to fetch the students.

The parents will then be bringing their chil-dren to home and eventually to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

After this, the students are expected to stay at home until full recovery.

In cases when the doctor gives out a medi-cal certificate that states that the child is fit to go back to school, the school may seek a second opinion from its consulting doctors in case the School Nurse would think oth-erwise.

Let us all work together to keep the members of the school community safe and healthy!

On Contagious Illnesses

On a daily basis, teachers give written assessments to the students, in the form of: independent practice, practice exercises, seatworks, and worksheets. These are formative assessments, giv-en by the teachers to develop students’ skills and facilitate understanding of con-cepts. With that being said, students still need to make sure that they are ready for these assessments on a daily basis, even if they are not indicated on the AWP.

There’s more to education than exams. Doing DoE is one testament to that.

Students are empowered in this learning by DoE-ing approach to nurturing and strengthening an individual’s leadership qualities. The Duke of Edinburgh’s (DoE) International Award is the world’s lead-ing achievement award for young people, bringing together practical experiences and life skills to cre-ate committed global citizens and to equip young people for life. Here, students will climb a long way to service, physical recreation, skills development, and adventurous journey; then reap the fruits of their labor through improvement in over-all health and well-being, educational attainment, and employabil-ity.

People aged 14-24 can do a DoE programme at one of three progressive levels which, when suc-cessfully completed, leads to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

There are four sections to complete at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold. They involve help-ing the community/environment, becoming fitter, developing new skills, planning, training for and com-pleting an expedition and, for Gold only, working with a team on a residential activity.

Any young person can do their DoE – regardless of ability, gender, background or location. Achieving an Award isn’t a competition or about being first. It’s all about setting personal challenges and pushing personal boundaries.

Through a DoE programme young people have fun, make friends, improve their self-esteem and build confidence. They gain essential skills and attributes for work and life such as resilience, problem-solving, team-working, communication and drive.

Since its success last academic year, the school wants to encourage more students to show

how gritty they are and to apply growth mindset in accomplishing their very own GEM Project.

Setting the mind. When students have developed growth mindset and grit, they will be able

to see effort as a positive behavior and become more resilient to face failure and attain higher ac-

ademic outcomes. The continuous process of growing can be achieved through the Growing the

Extra Mile (GEM) Project wherein students, themselves choose the skill or skills that they want to

learn and set their minds on achieving it.

Polishing the GEM. The Growing the Extra Mile (GEM) Project is an original project conceptual-

ized, designed, and accomplished by any SGEN student (from Grade 1 to 12), documented

through a video presentation.

Claiming the Award. To recognize the efforts of students who have shown exemplary growth

in the subject or skills they have chosen, the GEM Award will be given to the recipients.

Here’s how to join: 1. All students from Grade 1-12 of SGEN schools are eligible to qualify for the GEM Award.

2. Interested students will register for the GEM award at the Principal’s Office.

3. Students will start with their Project anytime from September to April of the current academic

year.

4. Entry for the project should be in a form of a three-minute video.

5. To ensure that students are working on their project, students will update weekly a GEM

award activity log sheet.

6. All participants shall undergo a Panel Interview and Presentation of their project.

Judging Criteria: The GEM Award will be chosen by the Management Committee (MANCOM) and/ or external

judge using the 5Cs criteria:

1. CHARACTER - learns from his/ her mistakes and is not afraid to try again.

2. COLLABORATION - asks questions or seeks the help of others.

3. COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVE - focuses on tasks and consistently does the tasks that the skills or

project entails.

4. COMPETENCE - applies effective strategies.

5. CREATIVITY- takes risks

A congratulatory letter will be given to the awardee. The recipient of the award will be

awarded during the Recognition Day (Grades 1-11) and Graduation Day (Grades 6 and 12).

Note that:

1. Any child may be an awardee for the school year provided that he or she accomplishes all

the tasks and passes the panel presentation and interview. Hence, there may be more than 1

awardee per department at the end of the year.

2. Students present their video to all judges; and will have to pass a panel interview.

ing Each Other’s

E very child has the potential to be a leader. Some may have more

traits associated with leadership, but any child's leadership ability,

at whatever level, can be groomed and nurtured. Here are some

simple things parents (and grandparents, teachers, coaches, aunts,

uncles, and neighbours) can do to help develop children's potential for

leadership:

1. Be the kind of leader you want them to become. As with most things,

the best lesson is your example.

2. Allow them to pave their own path. Let your children create their own

path and purpose without interference.

3. Show them ways to succeed. They'll gain valuable self-esteem and

confidence by mastering new skills as they get the job done.

4. Generate a circle of trailblazers. Make sure your children know peo-

ple who are blazing trails and are achieving things in the world, making

an impact and making a difference.

5. Seek to understand them so they can learn to understand others.

Teach your kids the importance of listening to yourself and to others.

6. Teach them to be winners. Unless the situation is truly untenable, use

the opportunity to teach them perseverance and tenacity.

7. Help them learn to be great communicators. Communication is the

cornerstone of both leadership and relationships. Teach your children

to say what they mean and mean what they say.

8. Emphasize the importance of teamwork. Teamwork helps children

learn to get along with others, to work and cooperate across differ-

ences.

9. Show the importance of character. A child who can learn the founda-

tion of trust, honesty, respect and integrity will be ready for a lifetime of

successful leadership, partnerships and relationships.

10. Encourage an open mind and heart. Give children experiences that

teach them about diversity and inclusion. Show them the value of mul-

tiple perspectives and the importance of equality.
