At SIS, we believe that small actions can create a big impact. With this belief, from September 15-24, SIS secondary school students came together to participate in the Global Goals Week and International Day of Peace. Global Goals Week is a shared commitment to accelerate action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
Throughout the week, our students demonstrated their unwavering commitment to creating a better, more sustainable world. Let's take a closer look at the activities they conducted and the knowledge and spirit they gained during this inspiring spirit week.
Monday - Good Health and Well-being
On Sports Day, our students kicked off the week with enthusiasm and energy. They donned their active wear or outfits representing their favourite sports and teams. Beyond the fun of dressing up, they took a moment to focus on their physical and mental well-being by practising Yoga. This day highlighted the importance of SDG 3: Good health and well-being, emphasising the need to prioritise health as individuals and communities.
Tuesday - Life Below Water
Tuesday brought Beach Day, where students embraced school-appropriate summer casual wear. The day was about much more than just fashion. Our students dove into discussions about the impact of plastic waste on marine life and human health. They explored the crucial role of conserving water in supporting life below water, gaining a deeper understanding of SDG 14.
Wednesday - Reduced Inequality
Wednesday was all about advocating for social justice and reducing inequality. On Twin Day, students dressed in the same outfits as their peers, sending a powerful message about inclusivity and unity. Our students stood together to support social justice organisations, amplifying their commitment to SDG 10: Reduced inequality.
Thursday - Peace, Justice, and Institutions
Peace Day on Thursday saw our students dressed in soothing blue attire. They didn't stop at wearing blue; each student crafted a peace pledge dove to symbolise their dedication to peace, justice, and strong institutions. These doves became part of a beautiful World Peace Day banner, showcasing our students' commitment to SDG 16.
Friday - Responsible Consumption and Production
As the week came to a close, our students celebrated Vintage Day by wearing clothing that was three years or older. They delved into thought-provoking discussions about the impact of clothing production on the environment and local communities. Through these conversations, they understood the role of fast fashion in waste and disposal issues and explored ways to make more sustainable choices. This day reinforced their commitment to SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production.
Global Goals Week and International Day of Peace at SIS were about fostering a deep understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and inspiring meaningful action. We are proud of our students embraced the spirit of the week with open hearts and open minds, showcasing their commitment to creating a more sustainable, inclusive, and peaceful world.
