IMPROVEMENTS
What do you think of the campus? Do you often grumble about walking too far just to have your lunch? Or you are in need to relieve yourself yet the washrooms are nowhere to be found? Or perhaps, you have been complaining about how the school should do this or that. Well, this post involves students and the campus. Often, we can only complain yet nothing is done to what we have complained about.
In this post, we will be writing about how the school can be improved. Similarly, we have also asked around and seek for suggestions among the students in SCL.
Since our school has been emphasizing about building relationships with your classmates and teachers, it would be good we have barbecue pits in our campus. In the same way, students can organise monthly evening events. Let’s say for example, when a class organises an event, most likely a handful of classmates would not attend due to several reasons. However, one common reason is due to location as well as travelling. When a barbecue pit is situated in the school, students can stay back after lessons and gather as a class. Not only does it help us to spend lesser time on discussing on the location, it provides convenience to many. Not only that, students in SCL won’t always be labelled as either geeks and nerds, being stuck with books or notes all the time.
Not forgetting about the luxury of the elevators that we have in school. Many students are grateful for that. However, taking the elevator can really be a hassle or chore if we are unlucky enough to be caught in the sudden influx of students, proceeding to their next class! To think about climbing the stairs from the second floor all the way to the seventh floor, lugging all our belongings in the process isn’t very appealing. At times, waiting for an elevator can be like, waiting for the eternity. The whole process can take up to more than 10 agonizing minutes, most of the time due to the fact that elevators are already filled when they reach our floor. From being early or on time for lessons, we can actually end up being late, and to tell the teacher that it was due to the jam packed or infrequent elevators aren’t really valid excuses. Instead of being pitied upon, we can be branded as being just plain lazy for not wanting to take the stairs, which are always very deserted. So therefore, it is a good thing that our school has elevators, but installing a few more won’t make much of a difference, won’t it? Apart from the fact that a hole might be burnt into NYP’s pockets. We are paying school fees afterall, aren’t we?
Interacting with our peers are a vital part of school life. We suggest that the school provide us with so-called function rooms or acitivity rooms where students can just hang out and chill. There already is a library located in our campus, however not everyone are frequent library users. Besides, it is hard to get an available spot in the café to relax. Its always full of people, cause it’s the only place where students are allowed to talk and have a drink or two at the same time. The other canteens arent’t very appealing either. It’s either too crowded, or too hot. Finding a nice, comfortable air conditioned spot in school can be a chore sometimes. So, why don’t have rooms equipted with a television set, a comfy sofa? Afterall, relaxing can be something good, and at the same time, it might help to inculcate more genuises. Some people think best while relaxing, not working!
So here’s our so-called short post on how or rather, ways to improve our wonderful SCL. Not only will it make lives easier for students, it might motivate them to come to school!
