SENIOR ACTIVITIES
Pi Number Day
On Tuesday, March 14, the mathematics department, together with the senior students, celebrated the day of number Pi.
The idea was to disseminate the contributions of mathematics in our environment.
The students from 7th to 2nd grade made a research on this number in geometry, finding curiosities about the number Pi, which were reflected in posters and infographics. Also, the CETTS distributed stickers alluding to the number Pi to the Southland community.
The third and fourth grade classes formed the symbol on the court as shown in the pictures.
Anti-Cyberbullying Day
The Southland School joins the International Day Against Cyberbullying.
In our school, on March 13th we welcomed our students with joy and music. We took pictures in our selfie frame to introduce the students to the theme of the week, about what we can do as a community to prevent and avoid cyberbullying.
Activities were held during Orientation class, with the objective of alerting the community about cyberbullying, promoting prevention, promoting the development of digital citizenship and above all, uniting our entire community around the importance of making this issue conscious in each one of us.
As a school, we work together to ensure that our community is a safe and welcoming place for all students with the goal that we all leave a positive footprint in the digital world.
The Southland School Student Center
On Friday, March 10, the first CETSS 2023 Assembly was held, in which the "E for Experience" list presented its work plan and deadlines in which we must decide as a community who will represent this important work this new school year.
This Thursday, March 23rd, the CETSS 2023 plebiscite will take place, in which all students from 5th grade to 4th grade will vote on whether or not they wish to be represented by the "E for Experience" list nominated at the end of last year. This civic exercise brings our students closer to an important right and duty that we have as citizens, to be responsible for choosing those who lead and represent us.
To this end, the students who make up the only candidate list for the Student Center 2023, have already begun working on a campaign that seeks to motivate the participation of all their classmates in this plebiscite, carrying as a banner three important projects, which aim to promote artistic talents, care for the environment and the importance of clear and timely information.
We are certain that this activity, which enriches us all, will be carried out with responsibility and enthusiasm by our educational community, especially by our students.
Last First Day of IV Medio
On March 3rd, we celebrated the last first day of school of our IV Medio students. This was a very special day for the students of Generation 2023, as it marks the beginning of their final school year and heralds the end of their time at the school.
Upon entering through the Senior entrance, each student had the opportunity to take an individual photo to remember this day and then with the complete grade and their Head Teacher, Miss Paula Echeverría.
Afterwards, they carried out an activity with the students of 1st grade, with whom they shared a moment of unity and companionship reflecting the beginning and end of school life.
Finally, they went to their classrooms to enjoy a delicious breakfast accompanied by their Head Teacher, where they were able to talk with her about their concerns, challenges and goals for this year.
We hope that our Generation 2023 achieves all their goals.
University Fair
On Wednesday, August 24, our students from I to IV medio had the opportunity to participate in the University Fair, which was attended by pre-universitary institutions, technical training centers and universities attached to the admission system.
After the fair, our students could to participate in one of the three available talks given by: Cepech, Universidad Diego Portales and Universidad del Desarrollo, which addressed the topics: NEM, vocational choice and stress management.
We are satisfied with the experience since each of our students were able to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain detailed information about possible options for their education after school, which allows them to plan their life project in a more informed way.
