Service
Appreciation Day During the last week of the 2023-24 Academic Year, the
Secondary School hosted its second annual MYP Service & Community Appreciation Day which helped showcase how important service is to the Concordian community through a variety of exhibitions, interactive activities, and displays of appreciation. As was the case with the inaugural event, the day was divided into three clear, and different sessions - Action, Sharing and Fun. First thing in the morning, when the students were full of energy, we undertook Action. During this session, MYP students rotated between four activities: sorting recycling, packing care packages to be delivered to a community in need in Bang Na, interacting with a service-centered art installation, and writing thank you notes to members of the Concordian community that help to create a safe learning environment for us year round. The recycling activity saw students help teachers clear recyclables from their classrooms, as well as sorting out recyclable material from their lockers, and recyclable materials that had been collected throughout the year. The care package activity saw middle school students help one of our high school service clubs, The Giving Club, pack bags with food and toiletries which were then delivered to มูลนิธิเด็ก โสสะเเห่งประเทศไทย. All the products that were packed had been bought from funds that The Giving Club raised throughout the year. The art installation activities saw students create personalized paper butterflies which were then stuck to a frame. Students could write notes on the butterflies, or simply decorate them, but the final installation of a many different coloured paper butterflies creating a larger butterfly symbolized that we are all one community changing and developing in our own ways.
