GSN’s External Influence

At Georgia School Ningbo (GSN), it is our goal to provide students of diverse ages with a wholesome experience that integrates character, humility and citizenship. Through service-learning and with the support of involved teachers and friends, students have a unique opportunity to develop such qualities. Each quarter, Georgia School students will volunteer around the city of Ningbo to fulfill service-learning hours for college applications, GSN Honors Program requirements and for the betterment of the community.

GSN Takes ActionThroughout the past month, students volunteered to collect litter at a new plaza in Jiangbei district, ridding it from hazards and helping enhance its overall public appearance. Since the beginning of the year, China began to implement a new recycling initiative, which highlights how to separate different types of trash and the importance of recycling. Learning about the correct way to handle disposable materials can be tricky at first. To help spread awareness, GSN students were also handing out brochures about trash management and how people can help make the environment a better place through small actions.

Clean Up, Grow UpService-learning is a gateway to blooming leadership for students because it allows them to work independently and create connections with others. Other values developed through service-learning projects are communication skills and work ethics, which are useful and integral characteristics for future leaders.Georgia’s quarter 2 Service-Learning Day will take place in December, with more help from students and teachers to care for and help our community!  We look forward to support our students through many projects and to watch them grow into global citizens that make a difference in the world!
