Spirit Friday was celebrated on 25th February 2022, in lieu of the opening of regular school with the purpose of getting students to participate in fun activities together in order to build a sense of togetherness among students.
Our school spirit is a powerful reflection of pride, achievement and determination and goes hand in hand with positivity which is a benchmark of a Beaconhouse holistic success. Our school spirit equates to a sense of community with students, parents and teachers working together with a common purpose. Students who are more engaged and connected to their communities are the ambassadors for the school and take their pride off-campus as well. Research indicates that students with higher levels of school spirit have greater aspirations for success. Creating a culture of spirit in the school can help students achieve later in life.
From academic achievement to general happiness, there is a positive relationship to school spirit. To many students, school spirit is a sense of pride shown by those who feel a strong connection to their place of learning and the people in it. When asked what school spirit means, some specific student responses included: “Having pride in your school’s academics, athletics, and participating in opportunities that your school offers,” and “It’s being proud to represent your school and the values it stands for.” “Positive feelings towards school lead to positive attitudes toward learning.” According to a student surveyed, school spirit entails “caring about your school, being a good citizen, supporting teams and clubs,” and another student said school spirit means “putting forth the effort to make a difference for your school and surrounding”
In the educational realm achievement is linked to spirit. With the pandemic woes and setbacks, the team at Beaconhouse KG II remained resilient and determined against all odds. Be it Hybrid or face-to-face; students at KG II stood unresolved and showed great strength, remarkable achievement within itself that called for a celebration and celebrations naturally increase school spirit. School spirit motivates students to achieve because there is a sense of ‘one for all’ and students strive to excel when there is a sense of unity and healthy competition.
An array of activities were arranged to mark the day for a show of spirit and festivities. Fun games, face painting, music and dance, cheesy phot booth
