SERVICE LEARNING AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
We emphasise global citizenship and invite our learners to contribute locally and globally in dynamic, responsible and ethical ways.
Developing internationally-minded learners who appreciate and respect the richness of human differences is a core tenet of our rigorous education. As an international community, we ensure that in both our Primary and Secondary Schools, HKA learners have a wealth of opportunities to participate in and grow from service to others. At every stage of their learning journeys, we recognise the importance of nurturing and celebrating the ways in which our students learn about, through and from meaningful action.
THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF SERVICE LEARNING
Through service, HKA students take action in ways that are meaningful to themselves and others. At least one unit of inquiry each year is dedicated to service learning, with Primary School students identifying opportunities to take responsible action and showcasing these actions in a variety of exhibitions of learning. Secondary School students both opt to participate in established service as action projects as well as launch their own community engagement initiatives each year. As they take responsible action through service learning, our students grow as individuals and develop a better understanding of themselves, their community and the world around them.
