Student Council Proposal N 003:

Mandarin classes

What?
The Student Council is proposing that the school should incorporate
Mandarin, the next world language, into the curriculum, starting as
young as class 5 and later spanning up to IB level as time progresses.
Mandarin will not be a feasible subject to increment in this years class
8-11s timetables. Mandarin is an essential subject, which is taught
extensively throughout Europe, and which will give a competitive edge
to any one perusing a career outside of Brazil.

How?
Simply add Mandarin as a language subject option, just like Spanish and
French. Hire a mandarin teacher, by including the necessity of such a
teacher in the British School advertisement space in the classificados
section of the Newspaper O Globo.

Where?
Any available classroom in either blocks A,B, C or D.
