The Smile Jar

The International School of Choueifat - Abu Dhabi

Grades 7 - 12

In order to promote a cheerful and positive culture throughout the school, the outreach department held a “smile Jar day’’ by putting quotes in a jar that the students, teachers and staff would pull and read.

The quotes were carefully chosen to inspire, motivate, and make the everyone Smile.Some of the quotes read:

• “keep your Head, Heels and Standards’  high “
• ”Every day is the second Chance”
• “keep Smiling the world will get tired of upsetting you”
• “fail =first attempt in learning”
• “smile, you are beautiful”

The team went around, holding 3 jars filled with quotes aiming to cheer up those who thought their day was going badly and they spread happiness all over the school.

Some teachers and staff were involved and loved what the team did and kept the quote to inspire them daily

Report Card Distribution

International School of Choueifat - Amman

Grades 8 - 11

Handing out report cards at the end of the term sounds easy. But when it involves nearly one thousand of them, things become significantly more challenging, and that’s why SLO^® Prefects stepped in to help. Before a parent can receive their child’s report card, they need to get their own “Parent Number” from a list of hundreds of other Parent Numbers.

Although it was a Saturday, tens of Management prefects signed up for the task of helping parents get their “Parent Number”, and then, handing them the report cards. Thanks to using modern technology (iPads and Laptops) to find the Parent Number rather than going through the long printed list, the whole process did not take more than three minutes. It was amazing to watch how prefects at such a young age could handle tens and tens of parents that would show up at the same time.

Shadow Teachers for Lower School

International School of Choueifat - Amman

Grades 10 - 12

Whenever Lower School Teachers are absent, SLO^® Prefects are called to cover the classes of absent teachers.

They meet with the Lower School AQC and Coordinators to go over the material and activities they would teach in class, and then compare their free classes to the sessions they are needed in. Typically, two prefects are working together in each class, to go over the required material, and lighten the mood with some fun activities as well.

The feedback the SLO^® Prefects receive is really great, and every staff member involved is grateful and proud of what the prefects are able to do.
