The GHCIS Student Union was established in 2016 as a bridge between students and teachers and a platform for students to show their talents. The Student Union is an active and energetic group that participates in every campus event. They understand their peers' passions, help solve problems, and wholeheartedly serve the student body. The Student Union consists of six departments: the Publicity Department, the Arts and Sports Department, the Community Foundation, the Public Relations Department, the Student Affairs Department, and the Academic Department. It is managed by the Executive Committee, ministers, and vice-ministers.
The Executive Committee is the core leadership of the Student Union. It consists of one President and several Vice Presidents. Members are elected from the ministers and vice-ministers who have substantial work experience in the Student Union. The Executive Committee coordinates and oversees all department activities to ensure smooth daily operations, guides and supervises departments, and communicates the Union’s progress to the school. They act as a bridge between students and the school administration and represents students in regular meetings with the school management team.
The Publicity Department communicates activities and events to students through campus bulletin boards and social media. They design posters and banners and manage event setups to create pleasant atmosphere of school events. The department also organizes unique activities, such as photography exhibitions and the “Spring/Autumn of GHCIS” essay and photo contests.
The Arts and Sports Department organizes activities to enrich students' extracurricular lives and promote interdisciplinary skills. They plan and coordinate events like Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the Christmas Party, and participate in various campus competitions and performances.
The Community Foundation is a student-led charitable organization dedicated to improving the living conditions and education of children in impoverished areas. They organize impactful events like “Charity Walks,” “Hand in Hand Education Support,” and “Volunteer Teaching in Yunnan.” The Community Foundation values sustainable and effective charity work and raises funds and donations from various community groups. They encourage students to participate in community service to foster their awareness of public welfare and a sense of social responsibility.
The Public Relations Department communicates with student unions from other schools and work with our school clubs and sports teams.
