Hello Student Council, Students, Teacher and principal. My name is Kayla Anandia and I am from year 7A, my year level and I have been thinking that we need more school events. So we made a proposal to give to the student council so we can have more school event. We thought of three events and it could be for anybody as long as they are a GJS student or alumni. We have thought about the details and who is going to participate to create these events.
The first event is Indonesia day or culture day. We could have this event every year and the difference about Indonesia day and batik day is we do still use Indonesian clothes but we play Indonesian games and eat yummy Indonesian cuisine. We could learn about a certain Indonesian hero that fought for our country for secondary students, We could also have a upacara (flag raising ceremony). We could have the event on August because that is the month of when we have our independence day. The reason why we wanted the idea of having the Indonesian Day or Culture Day is because our generation has been influenced by Americans, Kpop and European culture, its not a bad thing but it is a bad thing to forget your own culture, where your from and we want to preserve the Indonesian Culture in our school. Also to show how diverse how Global Jaya School is. Everyone can participate to this event we could decorate by making posters that have quotes that our heroes said, make posters that have the Indonesian flag and stick in the playground, gym and soccer field. That is our first event.
Our second event is having more sports events such as soccer day, basketball day and many more. It would be like any other sport event but we only focus on one sport. We would play two year levels in one team for example Garuda 7-8 against Rajawali 7-8. If we would like, we can use the certain sport jersey and equipment but still follow the house color. We think that it would be for secondary only because primary already has a sports day. We need this event because a lot of students in our school hate doing PE maybe because what sport it is, its boring and they dont like the teams. So we will make a day that we could have one certain sport on that day and make it more fun and exciting for students. There will still be points for each team the first winner will get a prize. The judges and the referee could be GJS teacher that is involved in sports.
Lastly our final idea is Halloween day/night. We could choose a certain day/night to have it on. There would be activities to do there such haunted house, performance, eating and face painting. For the haunted maze we could decorate the gym and make it scary. The performance would be by Global Jaya students. We want this event to be for grade 6-12. We created an idea for this event because we can take a night off and have a fun time at the event with our friends. Everyone can participate in decorating and performing, some people can dress-up as characters and hide in the gym.
That was our three ideas for school events that the year 7 would like to propose. Having these events could make people more social of their surroundings. We would like opinions from the principals and students as soon as possible. To have these events will show diversity within Global Jaya School because we can celebrate events from other countries not just Indonesia. Thankyou for all your time and we hope everybody would consider having these events.
