Language Week Celebration at GMIS Semarang

“Speaking for the Voiceless: Celebrating World Animal Welfare Day”

GMIS Semarang successfully held its annual Language Week celebration, a week-long event that brought together students from Early Years to Senior School in a series of enriching language and communication activities. The event aimed to promote language proficiency, confidence, and expression while commemorating World Animal Welfare Day.

The celebration commenced with a delightful Pet Show and Tell session for the Early Years and Primary students. Young learners eagerly introduced their pets, sharing stories and experiences that reflected compassion and responsibility toward animals.

Continuing the momentum, the following day featured an engaging Spelling Bee Competition for students from Grades 4 to 8. Participants demonstrated their spelling skills, concentration, and quick thinking, creating an atmosphere of healthy competition and enthusiasm for learning.

The week concluded with a thought-provoking Debate Competition among Senior School students, who represented various international organizations. The debate centered on global perspectives of animal welfare, allowing participants to showcase their public speaking, critical thinking, and research skills.

Through these activities, Language Week at GMIS Semarang not only highlighted students’ linguistic talents but also fostered empathy, awareness, and advocacy for animal welfare. The event served as a meaningful reminder of the power of language in inspiring understanding and compassion within the global community.
