Gesang, EBPP School Counsellor
In a recent classroom activity, I had the pleasure of guiding a group of students through a meaningful experience: cleaning up their school library. As the students picked up cleaning tools, the library transformed into a hub of purposeful activity. More than just cleaning and arranging books, the underlying message of the activity resonated throughout the room - the importance of responsibility, teamwork, and the impact our shared spaces have on our learning environment.
Â
Students were encouraged to collaborate, communicate, and take ownership of their shared space. The library, often considered the heart of our school, became a metaphor for the collective responsibility we bear in creating a positive and conducive atmosphere for learning. By engaging in this hands-on activity, students not only contributed to the physical cleanliness of the library but also to a sense of pride and connection to their school community - a fresh start to 2024!
Â
In our post-activity discussion, students shared insights into the value of maintaining a clean and organized space for studying and collaboration. They showed that they now understand and value the teamwork needed to keep our learning space special. As a school counsellor, watching this activity happen again makes us believe even more that empowering students with a sense of responsibility and fostering teamwork contributes to their holistic development, preparing them for a future where collaboration and accountability are paramount.
