The Voice

Spread the love

One of Student Council’s major goals this year has been to showcase and recognize the variety of talent that exists within the KIS community. Last term, the Student Council held the Spirit of the Houses Art Competition to shine the light on all our aspiring artists. This term, Student Council hosted KIS The Voice to give an opportunity for all the great singers of KIS to hit the stage.”

The Voice was a deeply powerful experience that left us deeply impressed by the talent of the students of KIS. Many students, who had never before had the opportunity to sing on stage at the school, to present themselves and showcase some unexpectedly powerful voices. It was truly inspiring to see young students step up to the stage and sing beautifully into the microphone as the entire school cheered them on. 

And so The Voice became an event where the whole school was able to unite together to support its aspiring singers. KIS will for a very long time remember this inspirational, memorable competition. And for some, I believe, the theme song of The Voice will have taken on a whole new meaning. It is no longer simply a tune used to introduce some reality game show; it is now an anthem for inspiration and spirit. 

“This is the Voice!” 

Recently, student council at my school, KIS International School (KIS), just organized an event called “The Voice” to encourage good singers of KIS to share their talents. I was truly amazed how the event was so well-organized by the student council and excited to see students showing their interest out of academic context. It was absolute a memorable experience to witness when students took initiatives and were empowered, they became creative thinkers and problem solvers. The student council had organized the whole event independently with a supervisor’s guidance, including communicating with the school, finding coaches, advertising, recruiting, organizing logistics, and so on. One might wonder what the purpose was and how this related to student learning.

Here is a short write-up by my student, Ken Lohatepanont, who is one of the student council member: 

To conclude, I think it is so important to see students outside of classroom setting from time to time. There was one student who rarely talks in the class and it was such a surprise for her teachers to see and hear her singing with confidence on the stage! As teachers, we must not neglect students’ talents and interests! Kudos to KIS student council for organizing a creative and inspiring event that brought the school community together!
