By Jags Myanger, Event Assessment Coordinator ICS
At ICS, we are fortunate to have the dedication of our student volunteers, who play an essential role in the success of our events. These students go above and beyond their classroom responsibilities, contributing their time and energy throughout the year to bring these events to life. Their involvement, particularly during the key moments like the New Student Orientation, helps foster a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for new students. With the guidance of our counsellors, these volunteers help create a strong sense of community right from the start.
When we call for volunteers through the Grade Level Leaders, we consistently receive an enthusiastic response. Students recognise the value of these experiences, as they not only contribute to the school but also develop important communication and leadership skills. Volunteering opportunities arise in various forms, such as sport competitions, fundraising activities, and performing events. These occasions showcase the strength of our community and how we come together to ensure the success of our school’s activities.
By participating, students gain invaluable experience - they learn to lead, work as a part of a team, and collaborate with others, such as the Operations team. These experiences build resilience, provide opportunities for personal growth, and help prepare students for real-world challenges. We are incredibly grateful for their continued support and look forward to seeing them thrive in the future events.
"My parents always taught me the importance of helping others whenever possible. I've been volunteering since Grade 8, and it's such a fun way to meet new people. I usually assist at sports events, whether it's keeping score, handing out trophies, or simply supporting the athletes." - Faustine, Grade 10
