As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the SLO organized an awareness activity to educate students about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.

The event began with an informative session delivered by the school nurse and the Wellness Department prefects, who explained the importance of breast cancer awareness, early detection, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Students were encouraged to learn more about the topic and understand the importance of spreading awareness within their families and communities.

Following the session, prefects actively participated in the awareness campaign by distributing informative materials and awareness items to their peers and school staff.

The program also included piano performances by Alhan Nassar and Kamie Stachilian, a special guest interview, a video presentation, and a Q&A session over coffee.

 

Our students celebrated World Food Day with a fun and engaging activity focused on their favorite foods and the importance of healthy eating!

Students dressed up as their favorite foods and presented their choices to their classmates, sharing their enthusiasm for different foods while learning about the importance of making healthy choices.

Through interactive games and guided activities led by our Wellness Prefects, students explored nutrition in an enjoyable and age-appropriate way. Students in G1–G4 participated in a Blooket game where they identified healthy foods, while those in G5–G6 enjoyed a memory game in which they had to match pairs of hidden food cards. Meanwhile, our youngest learners in PK3–KG played an exciting movement game where they advanced whenever the prefect called out a healthy food. The first student to reach and touch the prefect’s hand was the winner!

It was a wonderful opportunity to promote healthy habits, encourage teamwork, and remind our students that taking care of our bodies starts with the choices we make every day.

 

 

As part of Diabetes Awareness Day, the school doctor delivered an informative presentation to students, explaining the causes of diabetes, effective prevention strategies, and steps to take if faced with this condition.

Students also learned about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. To reinforce these lessons, a variety of fruits and vegetables was offered as healthy snacks, along with explanations about nutritious food choices that support overall well-being.

The students benefited from this awareness session by learning about diabetes, its types, causes, and symptoms. During the session, we explained how diabetes affects the body and highlighted the importance of healthy eating, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring.This session helped increase students’ awareness about diabetes prevention and how to support people living with the disease.

As a Grade 5 student, I think Diabetes Day was a very useful event for us. It helped us understand what diabetes is, how we can protect ourselves, and how healthy food is important. It also taught us how we can advise others to live a healthier life. Fadha Fadhil (Student G05) 

I think it was very important to learn more about diabetes. We learned how to protect ourselves and how healthy food helps us stay away from diabetes. We can also go home and tell our parents why healthy food is important. Tala Khalid (Student G04)

 

As part of our Social Emotional Learning activities, Grade 3 students have begun focusing on self-awareness. With the guidance and presentations from Grade 6 students, they explored their emotions and reflected on what makes them happy. This activity has significantly helped them better understand and interpret their feelings.

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom,” said Aristotle. 

Grade 6 students encouraged Grade 3 students to explore their emotions by explaining how different emotions affect them. The students were later allowed to reflect and express what makes them happy.

Grade 3 students then wrote three things that make them happy and stamped their feeling on a large, white cardboard.

The students were excited and happy. They discovered new ways to share their feelings with others.
