Primary Gecko News is a student-led video programme that highlights the latest happenings in the SIS learning community. Guided by Mr. Jeff and Mr. Caid, our young reporters share timely updates in both English and French and strengthen their voice.
So, how does Gecko News come to life? Let’s take a look behind the scenes.
How is the News Created?
The Gecko News team works on a two-week schedule to create each episode. This lets students experience the entire news process, from planning a story to the final edit. They start by reviewing their last episode to see what worked and how they can improve. Students then take on different roles—like reporter, anchor, or video editor—and work together to share stories that matter to the student body.
On camera, they confidently present in front of the green screen. Off camera, they are busy reporting around school—interviewing teachers and classmates, and covering events like International Dot Day or changes to the school lunch menu.

What Topics
Do They Explore?
Through segments such as “Voice of Change,” students explore meaningful global topics like food waste, migration, sustainability (SDGs), and DEIJB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging). In “Greet the Gecko,” they spotlight members of our community—students, teachers, or leaders—sharing their unique stories.
What Do Students Gain?
Gecko News is a learning journey that builds teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking, while letting students express creativity through filming and editing.
How Does It Connect
to the PYP?
These experiences align closely with the Primary Years Programme （PYP ） Approaches to Learning (ATLs) and Learner Profile attributes, helping our young Geckos grow as communicators, risk-takers, and reflective thinkers.
Since its launch last year, Primary Gecko News has become a beloved programme across SIS—strengthening connections within our vibrant learning community.
Primary Geckos News 是一档专注于呈现SIS学习社区最新动态的视频节目。在Jeff老师与Caid老师的指导下，小记者们定期召开会议，以英文和法语向全校传递即时资讯，并在实践中不断发出自己的声音。
那么，Gecko News是如何呈现在大家眼前的？让我们一起走进它的制作幕后故事。
新闻如何诞生？
壁虎新闻团队采用每两周一次的结构化制作流程，让学生完整参与从策划、采访到拍摄与剪辑的新闻全制作环节。每一期节目都从复盘上一期内容开始，总结经验、规划方向。学生们分别担任记者、主播、编辑和摄像等角色，共同制作出贴近同龄人生活的真实报道。
在绿幕前，他们自信表达观点；在镜头之外，他们的身影活跃于校园各个角落：报道校园活动，采访师生员工。无论是法语部的“国际圆点日”，还是学校餐食的新变化，都成为他们记录的素材。

探讨哪些议题？
在《Voice of Change》等栏目中，小记者们与受访者深入探讨全球食物浪费、跨国移民经历、可持续发展目标（SDGs）以及DEIJB（多元、公平、包容、正义与归属）等具有现实意义的议题。而在《Greet the Gecko》中，他们则走近一位学生、老师或校领导，聆听并讲述他们独特的故事。
学生收获了什么？
Gecko News不仅是一档节目，更是一次真实的学习历程。在这里，学生锻炼团队协作，增强领导力与合作精神；提升沟通与演说能力；培养批判性思维。同时，他们在摄像、平面设计与视频剪辑中，尽情释放创造力与设计思维。
与PYP课程如何联结？
这些经历直接呼应小学项目（PYP）中的学习方法（ATLs）与学习者培养目标，助力学生成长为善于交流的沟通者、敢于尝试的冒险者，以及勤于反思的思考者。
自去年推出以来，Gecko News 已受到师生和社群的广泛喜爱。—它已成为连接社区的重要纽带，让我们彼此联结得更紧密。
Best wishes,
