The “Own Your Time” Campaign, organized by the discipline department, was an impactful, engaging initiative that encouraged punctuality, time management, and school discipline. Students and staff came together throughout the week to build positive habits through a series of thoughtful and interactive activities.  

The campaign kicked off on Sunday as Senior and Junior prefects welcomed students in grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 outside their hallways, distributing meaningful bracelets and stickers representing the SLO Discipline department. On Tuesday, the excitement continued with a stand selling delicious homemade brownies alongside fortune cookies across grades 5–12, featuring special prize-winning fortunes. Midweek on Wednesday, prefects greeted early arrivals in grades 5–8 by writing inspiring messages on classroom whiteboards to start their morning on a positive note.  

Throughout the week, students in grades 5–8 attended insightful advising presentations and joined a friendly competition that rewarded classes with the most on-time attendees. The campaign concluded with a video compilation showcasing the winning students reflecting on what they learned about punctuality and its positive impact on their lives. Overall, the initiative successfully fostered a culture of responsibility, dedication, and community spirit—showing that together, we can make every second count.

This campaign was such a fun and engaging way to learn about discipline and time management! The activities made it easy to understand the importance of being punctual, staying organized, and making the most of our time. It was a great opportunity to have fun with friends while learning useful habits that we can apply in our everyday school lives. The campaign left me feeling more motivated to manage my time effectively and stay on track throughout the school year! Nour El Din, Gr. 12

The Student Life Organization (SLO) organized Affirmation Day as part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening student wellbeing and promoting a supportive school environment. The initiative was designed to encourage positive communication, self-confidence, and peer recognition across participating grade levels, with a special emphasis on helping students build the inner resilience and self-assurance that act as a protective shield against bullying.

Throughout the day, students participated in a series of structured activities focused on sharing affirmations, expressing appreciation, and promoting respectful peer interactions. As part of these activities, affirmation stickers were distributed to all students and staff members. Our prefects also wrote positive messages on small slips of paper, placed them in a box, and randomly handed them out to students. Additionally, students exchanged affirmation stickers while offering kind verbal messages such as “You are loved,” “You are strong,” and “You are smart.” These activities helped foster a warm, encouraging, and inclusive atmosphere across the school.

Students also proudly posed for photos using affirmation props, confidently showcasing the qualities they value most about themselves. These photo moments allowed them to celebrate their individuality, boost their self-esteem, and share uplifting messages with the school community.

Affirmation Day also supported the school’s wider wellbeing framework by highlighting the role of positive language in shaping student mindset and school climate. The event demonstrated effective student leadership and meaningful engagement in character-building initiatives.

Affirmation Day created a noticeably positive shift in the school environment and encouraged students to support one another more openly.

The initiative reinforced the importance of intentional positive communication within the school community.

It was encouraging to see students actively participating in activities that promote confidence and wellbeing.

 

A bullying prevention campaign was held to teach students about the dangers of bullying, the types of bullying, the definition of a bystander, and the important role that a bystander can play in eradicating bullying.

G3 & G4, combined art with bullying prevention through the idea of the buddy bench. The buddy bench is specifically designed so that prefects befriend whoever is sitting there ensuring they are doing well and encouraging them to join in activities

G5 6 & 7 had an escape room with puzzles and riddles about bullying prevention and types of bullying. To escape the SLO room, they had to figure out the puzzle. Students were in teams and worked together to solve it.

Students had a great time, and before they left the room, they wrote some nice and kind messages on the SLO wall of kindness.

To promote cleanliness and health, the Discipline department kicked off a competition for the cleanest class.

Despite the fact that the whole school is very clean and that classes are very well kept, it was difficutl to declare a winner as all the classes were quite clean.  Both grades 4A and 5A went the extra mile with cleanliness and were declared the winners.
