Over the past week, our 7V mentor class has been immersed in the rich and complex world of the World Peace Game, and what an incredible journey it has been!
From the outset, students demonstrated a remarkable commitment to the challenge. When faced with uncertainty, difficult negotiations, and competing national interests, they rose above the chaos, showed unity, and triumphed through adversity. The presence of the Saboteur and the elusive Secret Empire added an extra layer of intrigue. Though they operated quietly in the background, their influence was certainly felt.
Throughout the game, our students have shown what it means to be agile, navigating rapidly changing events with focus and purpose. They have been collaborative, working across countries and roles with generosity and clarity. Their decisions have been guided by a compassionate mindset, ensuring no one is left behind, and they have been courageous in facing the pressures of leadership and crisis.
Their curiosity has driven deep thinking and insightful questions, while their ability to be effective communicators has enabled powerful dialogue, thoughtful negotiation, and genuine understanding across borders. They have approached the game with an ethical lens, weighing complex decisions with integrity, and they have remained inclusive, welcoming all voices and perspectives to the table. Many have been impressively innovative, offering creative solutions when traditional ones fell short. And above all, they have demonstrated self-regulation, maintaining focus, calm, and perseverance even when the stakes felt sky-high.
With six global crises left to resolve on the last day, every country and agency had an action plan in place. Peace has often felt just out of reach, but in those moments, 7V has shown its true strength. They stepped up, stood strong, and worked as one. What they have achieved together is not just a game victory—it is a lesson in unity, resilience, and leadership that will stay with them far beyond the classroom.
Thank you to all the students for their energy, commitment, and heart throughout this journey and our team look forward to sharing this exciting experience with the remaining Year 7 classes to come.
