Service
Service at SJII
Service Learning is one of the core pillars of learning at SJI International and we strive to provide opportunities for every student, from grades 7 to 12, to engage with the community meaningfully in order to deepen their understanding of local issues, make connections to global issues, and to develop skills that will equip them to be positive contributors to societies in the future.
To learn more about service at SJII, please visit the dedicated service website which is updated by senior school students.
Types of Service
At SJII service comes in many forms.
Direct Service
Student interaction involves people, the environment or animals. For example: one-on-one tutoring, developing a garden in partnership with refugees, or working in an animal shelter.
Indirect Service
Students do not see the recipients of indirect service, but they verify their actions will benefit the community or environment. For example: re-designing a website, writing original picture books to teach a language)
Advocacy
Students speak on behalf of a cause or concern to promote action on an issue of public interest. For example: initiating an awareness campaign on hunger, performing a play on replacing bullying with respect, or creating a video on sustainable water solutions.
Research
Students collect information through varied sources, analyse data, and report on a topic of importance to influence policy or practice. For example: conducting environmental surveys to influence their school, contribute to a study of animal migration etc.
