Author: Eric Liu | Encheng Liu

On October 24th, Nanyang Model Private High School held an annual SUID election meeting (Student Union of International Division). As a result, the fourth student union was built. As a representative of the students, the Student Union is an important channel for communications between students and teachers. Annie Chen, the president of the new SUID, believes that “the student union is the most important and has the most influence among students except teachers.” As the president, Annie Chen hopes to publicize more about the school, enrich the campus life and cultivate new students on the basis of earnestly completing various activities, leadership and organizational skills.

In the eyes of classmates, Annie Chen is regarded as an example in both school and life. Not only does she have excellent grades, but she also participates in various activities inside and outside the school, such as hockey, in her spare time. She used to be a member of the Discipline Inspection Department. After a year working in the former SUID, she became very familiar with the lives of her classmates and constantly encouraged her classmates with an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Besides that, Annie Chen realized that students, Chinese, and Canadian teachers need more information exchanges. “Sometimes assemblies held by Canadian sides are not known by Chinese sides, and Chinese teachers did not inform Canadian teachers when some activities are established. This has caused some unnecessary inefficiency.” Being the president, she hopes to positively influence the Grade 10s and ensure the smooth development of the activities. Through the WeChat public account and other means, the Chinese, foreign and student information will be synchronized to gain a deeper understanding, thus promote a better school life.

Moreover, the new SUID has a strong lineup which consists 13 outstanding Grade 11 students. Annie Chen is very confident in recruiting new student council officers. “This year’s Grade 10s are very enthusiastic. We will promote the student union recruitment in the event of flag-raising ceremony. At the same time, I think this is a very good opportunity for freshmen to learn about the school and gain a new skill.” The expectations from students are also one of the driving forces for the development of the student union. Annie Chen said the work in the SUID is a way to improve herself. “I like the SUID very much. I will also do my best to boost school activities with higher standards.”

In conclusion, the communication between teachers and students is inseparable from the SUID. Annie Chen will lead the new SUID to establish better cooperation between teachers and students with the bridge of communication with respect.
