Global Citizen Award: Invitation for Nominees
As many of our community know, every year a student is awarded the prestigious Global Citizen Award. At this time of year, nominations are invited from students, staff and parents.
The profile of the selected student must be aligned with the school’s vision of Global Citizenship:
A global citizen understands that we are all connected, upholds the values of equality and actively contributes to the development of a better world.
Global Citizens
- have an awareness of the wider world and a sense of their own role within it
- respect and value diversity
- are committed to social justice, equality and sustainability
- participate in the community at a range of levels, from local to global
- take responsibility for their actions
Global Citizenship involves:
- Enquiring, discussing, thinking critically, reflecting and collaborating
- Exploring the complexity of global issues and engaging with multiple perspectives
- Applying learning to real-life issues and contexts
- All ages and all areas of the curriculum
- The whole school community
If you would like to nominate a student to be considered for this award, please email me margaretrenshaw@kis.edu.my. You must include the student’s name, form and detailed information as to why you think they should receive this award. Please remember that this is open to all students, from Year 7 to Year 13. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday 20th April 2022.
