Leadership: Big 8
Hello NLCS!
We are the Big 8, the ambassadors and role models for NLCS. We are the senior, experienced student leaders who represent the school and serve the school community by acting as a bridge between the senior team and various student leadership groups.
As the main representatives when introducing NLCS to the outside community, many of our duties often involve meeting with people outside the school such as new parents, governors, and inspectors. However, we also have significant responsibilities among students, for each of us organises one of the school’s 7 major executive committees.
The Student Welfare Ambassador is in charge of the SWAG, which organises events such as Wellbeing Wednesdays, anti-bullying campaigns, and self-esteem building activities to address issues like mental health, bullying, and academic pressure.
The Sports Ambassador is representative of the sports scene and therefore coordinates and publicises sports events inside and outside NLCS.
The Service Ambassador leads the TowerAid, which oversees casual clothes days, service Bryants and CCAs, fundraising events, all service-related budgeting, and big charity events such as the Christmas Bazaar and the Summer Fete.
The Cultural Awareness Ambassador leads the Cultural Awareness Committee (CAC), which aims to create a safe, inclusive school community by appreciating cultural diversity through activities such as but not limited to: fundraisings, lectures, Cultural Highlights, and the Diversity Week.
The Arts Ambassador promotes all four areas of art in the school - music, visual arts, drama, and dance - by coordinating artistic events and collaborations in school such as the Arts Festival.
The Chair of the Societies Executive Committee oversees over 60 different societies which make NLCS a thriving, lively community by organising Action Weeks for each academic area as well as initiating projects like the Young Scholars Program.
The Student Council part of Big 8 leads the weekly student council meetings that address students’ voices on various issues and communicates them to the senior team.
Through these roles, we exist to help create a prosperous, active NLCS community and hope to have a positive influence on the student body.

Letter from your Student Council
Dear NLCS Jeju Community,
As one of the most prominent student leadership groups of NLCS, the Student Council has been striving to bring student voices into the school’s decision-making processes.
Last year, the council members worked to edit the Student Behavioural Policy into a more accessible manner, as well as suggesting the ways in which the school could explain the different intervention levels. In addition to this the Student Council listens to feedback from the student body and are going to be looking at what we can do about the traffic outside of school in the morning.
Most recently, the council held important meetings regarding the new IT policy to reflect widespread concerns and helped dispel myths that were causing avoidable conflict within the community. This provided us with the opportunity to meet with members of the Senior Leadership Team to better understand why this was being introduced and how it would help not only keep us safe online, but also support us in our learning.
The Student Council’s achievements are on-going and not limited to this short list. In the future, we plan to expand upon these continuous efforts through delving into sub-committees and promoting meaningful campaigns to further enhance our school community.
Sincerely,
The Student Council

This “Sarah Spirit”, as we call it, has kept all students fully engaged and kept our house, as an unified group of enthusiastic students. At Sarah House, every single student has the opportunity to develop their abilities and to reach their full potential. Sarah House always puts their best foot forward and regardless of the outcome we are proud of our achievements. Over the next academic year we are so excited to see how our House will rise to the House competition challenge and further foster and develop relationships with one another. On a day to day basis what we strive for is positive communication with one another, fostering respect and championing each other’s achievements. As a House we are proud to represent NLCS Jeju and we know that our accomplishments makeup just one part of this wonderful school daily life and environment.”

은 신화적 존재로 그리핀의 모습 자체에서 지성(독수리의 머리와 날개)과 힘(사자의 몸통)이 드러나듯 힘과 용기, 리더십을 의미합니다. 이러한 그리핀의 정신을 이어받은 거문 하우스는 ‘함께할수록 위대해진다’ 는 인식을 함께합니다. 이는 하우스 샤우팅 대항전에서도 이미 입증되었고, 학기 초 이룬 결실은 거문 하우스 전체에게 큰 동기를 불어넣어 주었습니다. 거문 하우스 생활지도팀은 소속 학생 전체에 대한 남다른 자부심을 가지고 있으며, 계속해서 물심양면 뒷받침할 수 있도록 노력할 것입니다.”
In the words of the Media and Publicity Vice House Captain - John Park
“Geomun is such a wonderful community to be part of. All students and leaders within the house are so engaged in the house competitions and events, and we are so proud to state that our house spirit is the best. We’ve had a great start to this year, coming in second place in the House Shout competition. Our House Glee and Singing are also in great progress, and so far things have gone very smoothly and well. Even though winning is great and we are aiming for the championship, as student leaders of the house, our utmost priority is to provide students with new, inspiring, wholesome experiences. Participating in a large-scale choir, dancing, or even public speaking are new experiences for a lot of students. These refreshing events help students to build team spirit and collaborative skills, having such a positive impact on the school society. Geomun is such a fantastic house and we were delighted in assembly this morning when Mr Scargill announced that Geomun have taken the overall lead in the house competition. There’s a long way to go and a lot of work still to do but together we are greater.”
올해
범접할 수 없는 강력한
우승후보로서 어느 때보다 탄탄합니다. 노로 하우스는 도전과 변화, 기회를 거부하지 않습니다. 저희를 지탱하게 하는 힘은 협업심이며, 이 모든 것은 훌륭한 노로 학생들이 있기에 가능한 일입니다. 학생 리더진은 참여와 즐거움, 성공적인 결실을 통해 하우스 정신을 드높이고자 노력합니다. 성공이 항상 이기는 것만을 의미하지는 않습니다. 과정 그 자체, 그 속에서 쌓이는 우정, 좋은 시절과 그렇지 못한 시절을 함께하며 함께 배워나가는 과정을 아우른다고 생각합니다. 지난 몇 달 간 노로 학생들은 다양한 하우스 대항전을 통해 뛰어난 회복력을 보여주었습니다. 또한 리허설에도 헌신적으로 임하며 하우스 노래, 하우스 글리, 하우스 앙상블 대항전을 위해 절차탁마도 마다하지 않았습니다.

In the words of the House Captains - Soomin Shim and Terry Kim -
“A wolf by itself may be weaker than all the other animals and mythical creatures that the other houses represent: griffin, dragon, phoenix, and lion. However, as ‘the strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack,’ there is no doubt that Noro will find their way towards victory.
Noro mainly stands for three values: passion, affinity, and faith. These values are not only key to our house spirit but also deeply ingrained amongst ourselves. This was well demonstrated at the House Chant competition. Even though Noro was not successful and the result disappointed the majority, we did not lose hope and overcame our defeat through badminton and other events. Such a recovery was only possible because all the members strongly believed in each other and took pride in being a member of Noro. This is merely the beginning of our success. As Toto Wolff, the team principal of Mercedes, said: ‘everyone has a target on their back.’ As he said, every house should be careful because Noro will soon be back in the lead—widening the gap and not looking back.”
House Captains - Tom Park and Alexa Han
Former House Captain, Andy Zhang says “An exceptional group of year 11’s have undertaken the mantle as this year’s House Committee. Leading Jeoji will be Tom Park and Alexa Han as the new House Captains.
We have a number of Vice Captains in Year 11 who are organizing Sports and Arts; Geoff, Changhee, Andy, Olivia, comprise our Sports Team while Sean and Julius lead in Arts. Julius is an accomplished musician and has written an original score for our House song Halo this year. Jeoji House provides opportunities for so many different talents to grow and shine.

Stephanie, Stella, Alexandra, Ashley, Suwoong, Jun, and Matthew will aim to support our them in varying areas of expertise. We have Secretaries who help organize the logistics of events and ensuring we all know what is coming up in the calendar and how best to prepare. We have Wellbeing officers who organize fun events such as the naming of our new mascot competition. We also hope to grow our events to create links with Junior school in the future, building new Jeoji leaders of the future.
Our new media team are key at getting the messages out there and have started taking photos of students and posting them to our official instagram account (@ jeojisunlions) Please check it out.
While it has only been a couple of weeks into this academic year, the new student team has sprung right into action, unifying and leading the house into achieving first in House Chant, Public Speaking, and much more! In fact, Jeoji currently leads all the other houses in house competition. Not only that, but Jeoji has also commissioned a 100% authentic, commercially unavailable, one-of-a-kind specially hand-crafted plushie lion for our outgoing Jeoji aesthetic! Our new furry friend (Who has yet to be named) will accompany the students throughout the school year, embodying the spirit of Jeoji house: courage, compassion, and curiosity!
We look forward to bringing you more good news about Jeoji house. Take pride in the pride!”

“There have been many ups and downs during the past couple of months in Mulchat. In the first several weeks, we prepared the House Chant by making a few changes in the lyrics of the song “believer” to match the theme and colour of our house. However, it can be said that the result of the chant was not as promising as we wanted. We are not aware of the accurate results, but it is assumed that we are 4th or 5th place for the house chant, an unfortunate result. However, the rebellion of the underdogs has just begun. We have received positive scores as a result of practices in badminton and public speaking led by year 11 captains for the past month. Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 exhibited phenomenal performance in “capture the flag”, and as such, we are deeply proud of our younger Mulchat members. With this positive forecast, Mulchat is beginning to chase down all the other houses like a hungry dragon. We will continue to practice Ensemble, Glee and House Singing frequently, twice a day sometimes for the past couple of weeks. Through everything we do we are aiming to encourage a sense of community, kindness and courage and to build a house all of its members can be proud of.
