On March 8, 2024, Sekolah Lentera Kasih Makassar proudly hosted the annual Student-Led Conference (SLC), a unique event that celebrates student achievement and empowers young learners to take ownership of their education. This event, aptly named "Empowering Student Voices," provided an invaluable opportunity for students to showcase their learning journey and share their accomplishments with their parents.
Event Overview:
The Student-Led Conference was a platform for students to demonstrate their understanding and mastery of various subjects, including Math, Science, English, Social Studies, Physical Education (PE), Mandarin, and more. Divided into five different stations corresponding to these subjects, students took on the role of educators as they explained concepts, taught their parents, or conducted demonstrations to showcase the results of their learning.
At each station, students confidently presented their work, sharing insights, achievements, and challenges they encountered throughout their learning journey. From solving complex mathematical equations to conducting fascinating science experiments, from reciting English poems to discussing historical events, students exhibited a deep understanding and enthusiasm for their studies.
Benefits of SLC for Kids:
The Student-Led Conference offers numerous benefits for students, empowering them in various aspects of their academic and personal development:
Ownership of Learning: By actively participating in the conference and taking on the role of educators, students develop a sense of ownership over their learning journey. They learn to set goals, track their progress, and reflect on their achievements, fostering a growth mindset and a lifelong love for learning.
Communication Skills: Presenting their work to an audience, including their parents and teachers, enhances students' communication skills. They learn to articulate their thoughts, express ideas clearly, and engage in meaningful discussions, building confidence in their abilities to communicate effectively.
Critical Thinking: Through the process of explaining concepts and demonstrating their understanding, students sharpen their critical thinking skills. They learn to analyze information, draw connections between different concepts, and apply knowledge to solve problems, preparing them for success in an ever-changing world.
Parent Involvement: The Student-Led Conference strengthens the partnership between home and school by actively involving parents in their child's education. Parents gain insights into their child's academic progress, strengths, and areas for improvement, allowing for meaningful conversations and collaboration to support their child's learning journey.
Celebration of Achievement: Above all, the Student-Led Conference celebrates students' achievements and highlights their growth and progress over time. It provides a platform for students to showcase their talents, creativity, and dedication, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment that motivates them to continue striving for excellence.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Student-Led Conference at Sekolah Lentera Kasih Makassar is not just an event but a celebration of student empowerment and achievement. By giving students a voice and a platform to share their learning journey with their parents, the SLC instills valuable skills, confidence, and a lifelong passion for learning in our young learners, shaping them into empowered and engaged global citizens.
