Devoted to this club since 8th grade, our student council strives to promote healthy digital lives among students. We discuss digital citizenship and communicate with the school director of technology to consistently improve our knowledge regarding these topics.
To promote digital citizenship, we have implemented the following events and actions at my school:
- Quiz events every assembly to raise awareness of digital citizenship
- Instagram post curation to convey important information to students
- Receive consistent feedback from students to elevate their digital lives
- Charger renting system in school to ensure students’ comfort
- The “App of the Week” segment recommends useful applications that improve students’ productivity
- Technology-informed presentations for new students (ex. Mac 101)
- Presentation to the Director of Technology of Branksomehall Asia about students’ Wi-Fi problems
- Created Branksome Forum, a space where students can communicate their thoughts to the Branksome community
- Launched Maker Faire, where people in our community share their creative inventions, creations, and performances
- Launched a workshop and campaign during Digitial Week which can reduce student’s smartphone addiction

By participating in this club, I have not only spread information about digital safety but I have also learned how to understand the perspective and goals of the school’s stakeholders. Even though we represent the students, we must communicate with the school administration, including teachers and the principal, to continue the project. By learning the protocols and lines of command at the school, I can efficiently communicate with all individuals who participate in this academic community and ensure the best for everyone involved. Additionally, I have come to understand the responsibilities associated with this role, as it represents my grade level, and I have to promote digital citizenship. With the responsibility that comes with this role, I continuously strive to be a model for other students and improve myself constantly.
