This year, we designed our welcome celebration around the theme of our group names. A group’s name connects its members, influences them, and defines them. Through interaction, exchanging ideas and experiences, collaboration, and shared efforts, they learn to manage both positive and negative emotions and strive for the common good. Together, they write and sign the story of their group.

Names carry significance and history. From the moment we enter the world, we are given a name that becomes an essential part of our identity.

Through activities and games held both in classrooms and workshops during the first weeks of September, the children explored the meaning of their group names, offering their interpretations and creating their group slogans. This process helped them develop a sense of belonging and familiarity with their group.

In their group names, the children recognized qualities we aim to cultivate in our students every day. We encourage them to be curious and eager learners, to care for others, to embrace mistakes as opportunities, to take responsibility, and to always be present and willing to contribute.
