Target Audience: We aimed to reach out to our peers and seniors to foster greater awareness of the necessity and importance of our non-teaching staff.
What we have done:
General Overview- To enable to reach the students more effectively, we centred our advocacy on the central theme of trees. The contributions of the non-teaching staff are very much similar in that they are often unnoticed, yet when we really think about it, indispensable.
Our metaphorical branches of advocacy took the form of a presentation to the student body, an appreciation tree and a video presentation during the school’s annual Teachers’ Day celebration. The appreciation tree allowed the participation of the entire student body, tasking each class to write messages of appreciation to specific members of the non-teaching staff and sharing their personal stories of gratitude. Both presentations were well-received and served as an encouraging reminder to the non-teaching staff of our appreciation as well as creating greater awareness amongst the students. Lastly, eye-catching reminder labels were plastered around the school, reminding the students to “Greet, Smile, Thank” (G.S.T.).
