We could even organise cross-level activities where students can participate as equals with their seniors / juniors to build stronger friendships and build school spirit.

Having just been through sec 1, they can share some tips on how to cope with secondary school life (academics, CCA) with the sec 1s - maybe the class can discuss then chairperson can represent the class to share. E.g. 201 chairperson share 201's tips with 101, and so on..

Notes on Design Thinking meeting (27 Sep, 3-4.30pm)

# data[].attributes.body
Have Design Thinking (DT) as an Overarching Theme to tie up all school effort. (Ms Rajan was also asking recently in one of our SDT meetings, for SDT to have a theoretical underpinning/background to base school programs on, and this might be it!)

- Possibility: have Outdoor Adventure Camp as a platform
- Will DT fit into LLP & ALP effort perhaps?
- DT Components: Exposure, Immersion & Activation  (EIA)(Community Involvement)
- Eventually, how can we create Change Champions who innovate to value-add to the community
- Possibility: to have professional designers to bring students through the reality of a project
- We are looking at a 6-8 weeks project that culminates in a showcase
- Potential projects may be:
1) Student Leadership - OGLs
2) Edible Garden into fruition
3) Tap on existing VIA effort to use DT tools for EIA
- Teacher engagement/training (learning by facilitation) to equip teachers with DT learning tools
- Now till 18 Oct: Send proposals
- Launch of project: Jan - Sep
- IDEAS: Integrated Design (something) of Architectural (something)
- having the know-how on the why and how to value-add to the community
- having a Studio as a place for scaling, mapping and ideation
- Cultivating attitudes by cultivating failure using given scenarios (e.g. the steepest tower)
- Explorative Learning with drawings, ideation allows for ownership  and accountability of converting thought into action
- Questioning to get to eventual solutions
- What can we do to solve a Need of the Community?
- Immersion: how do we make thoughts actionable? Bloom's Taxonomy uppermost echelon, that is to CREATE!, is part of Higher Order Thinking, a tool we would want to equip our students with
- Architecture actually combines all fields of interest!: AR art C community HI history Tec technology Ture nature
- Activation: immerse in problem-solving by using design thinking tools
