G9 Service Exhibition
Monday, 26th of May 2025, was the Grade 9 Community Engagement Project Exhibition, where Grade 9 students presented their projects to their peers and teachers. It was the culmination of a year-long project for the Grade 9s, where they could share their accomplishments, challenges, and lessons learned from the experience.
Throughout the past academic year, G9 students have been working in groups of up to 3 members on this project. The project includes conducting Community Engagement through Research, Planning, and Action at various communities throughout Bangkok and surrounding areas. In their project, student groups were expected to identify a community to work with, investigate the community’s needs, and plan direct service activities, such as volunteering trips and making donations. These communities included Orphanages, Elderly Care centers, Animal shelters, and more.
During the exhibition, many groups spoke about the challenges that they faced throughout the planning process, such as coordinating visit times with the communities and planning activities that met their objectives. Exhibition visitors got to hear about how groups demonstrated perseverance and tackled these challenges in different ways, even if it meant that the outcome of the project was slightly different from what they had expected in the beginning. Students from other grades were able to interview their Grade 9 peers about their work and experiences as well.
