On Sunday, May 12, 2024, the school held a classroom
meeting for the 8th and 9th batch
students. In the morning, it was a student performance activity, listening to
lectures on school guidelines and performance by Prof. Dr. Boonchoat
Paosawatyanyong, the KVIS Principal, lectures on Talk about further education
in “The KVIS CG Model: Your child’s 3-year roadmap” by
Dr.Jane Kanjanaphoomin, Guidance teacher, and Q&A with Dr. Phornsant
Lertwitthayawiwat, Vice Principal - Academic. After lunch, It was a Certificate
Awarding Ceremony. The students who are excellent in developing their characteristics
will receive a certificate from the school by the principal. Then, in the
afternoon, the individual family will gather with his/her homeroom
teachers.
This academic year, KVIS adjusted
the concept of the meeting pattern from “Parent-Teacher Conferences” to
“Student-led Conferences”. It was the 2nd
time for this paradigm. Student-led Conferences pattern, we allow students to be the “HERO” of the meeting. They will deeply analyze
and ponder the results of their study, their happiness and success, their
stress and worry, etc. in the previous semester. Lastly, they should show their
good points to improve for the next semester. Meanwhile, parents and
teachers just listen to their students intentionally, and then they (parents and teachers) also
share their opinions and suggest points of improvement for their students as
well.
Finally, we leave our trust in
them to choose their ways to improve themselves. Hopefully, this will give them
the feeling of their self and ask them to think creatively. The “Student-led
Conferences” is a way to inspire them to be the leaders of their own lives and
spring out their potential freely. We just wait, stay beside them, and
encourage them to grow to its fullness.
