English Week
The English Department orchestrated a remarkable lineup of events and activities during English Week from 14 to 17 February. With the aim of cultivating a heightened sense of civic consciousness and imbuing students with essential values and attitudes, the Department organized cerebral games that embodied the spirit of justice, integrity, compassion, and self-control as part of the ‘Values, We Value : JICS’ initiative.
In addition to lunchtime pursuits, on 15 February, the English Drama Team staged an original play that centered on characters grappling with the moral dilemma between virtuous and immoral deeds, all the while showcasing their exceptional thespian skills. Students were encouraged to conjecture the characters’ reactions to various situations as the story unfolded, with the chance to earn prizes specially crafted by the Department.
These coveted prizes were thoughtfully designed to represent each of the four values in creative ways: a ruler denoting impartial judgments and justice, a mirror symbolizing introspection and integrity, a pack of tissues representing empathy and compassion, and a phone ring signifying self-control. Each student received a folder with engrossing visuals of KTL students exemplifying the values in four scenarios.
The English Department is hopeful that by participating in this diverse and enriching array of activities, students will develop a keen awareness of the values and act on them, as they will serve as a moral compass, guiding them toward future success.
