excellent golfing experiences and a thriving eco-system - truly<br />
swinging for the planet!<br />

initiatives, actively contributing to a greener planet.<br />
In the Tech section, we showcase Acer’s work devices that not<br />

like regenerative cotton, recycled cashmere, and traceable wool.<br />
Thai Odyssey is equally dedicated to environmental conservation,<br />
offering a range of sleep-enhancing treatments, including the use<br />
of eco-friendly massage oils that benefit both you and the planet.<br />

list of eateries at <strong>Tropicana</strong> Gardens Mall. <strong>The</strong>se establishments<br />
embrace sustainability measures, allowing you to enjoy a good<br />
meal while supporting the ecological equilibrium.<br />

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER <strong>2023</strong> EDUCATION<br />
EMPOWERING<br />
MINDS<br />
In today’s fast-paced world, prioritising students’<br />
mental health is paramount<br />
40<br />
Gary takes a moment to engage with students, offering a listening ear, support, and a safe space to express their thoughts and concerns
TROPICANA MAGAZINE<br />
In the modern educational landscape, students are confronted<br />
with multiple challenges, including coursework, school life<br />
adaptation, and navigating the transformative effects of the<br />
pandemic on lifestyles and study methods. Consequently,<br />
mental health takes centrestage.<br />
At St Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia<br />
(<strong>Tropicana</strong> PJ Campus) (“SJIIM”), its comprehensive programmes<br />
and initiatives include educational units integrated into the<br />
curriculum and specific interventions by the pastoral team and<br />
school counsellor.<br />
“In terms of the curriculum, in the High School, for example, we have<br />
a lesson each week, taught during tutor time, which covers a wide<br />
range of topics including mental health and well-being. Students<br />
learn about self-care, the importance of sleep and a healthy diet,<br />
coping strategies to help manage stress, building and maintaining<br />
healthy relationships, and many more. As students get older, these<br />
may become more focused on managing stress during examination<br />
periods and how they can revise and study in a way that maintains<br />
their well-being,” explains SJIIM’s Head of School, Gary Cairns.<br />
He adds that parents are also included in these sessions, having<br />
expressed their desire for assistance in supporting their children.<br />
Participating in diverse co-curricular activities is crucial too,<br />
Gary notes. <strong>The</strong> school encourages students to join at least one<br />
activity weekly, be it sports, arts, or service projects through the<br />
Lasallian Youth Movement. <strong>The</strong>se experiences can significantly<br />
enhance students’ emotional and psychological wellness.<br />
“At school, we have lots of events that help to build community<br />
and promote a positive and inclusive school environment. I<br />
genuinely believe that the more connected a student feels to<br />
their school, the more that it will have a positive impact on their<br />
mental health and well-being,” adds Gary.<br />
Gary asserts that SJIIM will go to<br />
great lengths to ensure students<br />
feel heard and valued<br />
training our staff to identify students who may require support<br />
or intervention. We then have a team of pastoral leaders and a<br />
counsellor who will work with the student and their family. During<br />
training sessions for teachers, we will run sessions on potential<br />
indicators that a student may be in need of well-being support and<br />
we use a system in school whereby if a teacher observes a concern,<br />
they log it and a notification is sent to the relevant pastoral leader.<br />
Even if it is something very small, such as not being their usual<br />
self, teachers are required to record it so that it helps us build up a<br />
picture of how the student is behaving and feeling.”<br />
Annually, SJIIM administers a schoolwide well-being survey to its<br />
students, providing valuable insights into their school connection,<br />
and self-perception as learners and individuals. Using this data, the<br />
school strategises interventions to offer the best possible support.<br />
41<br />
He observes that students engaged in numerous extra-curricular<br />
activities and leadership roles tend to excel academically and<br />
experience improved mental well-being.<br />
Gary notes that the school’s pastoral team, which includes the<br />
student’s Head of Year and the Assistant Principal for Character and<br />
Well-being, remains accessible and visible to students at all times.<br />
How does the school identify and address mental health concerns<br />
among students?<br />
“First and foremost, there should be strong positive relationships<br />
between teachers and students so that students feel comfortable<br />
to tell their teacher if they need support. We spend a lot of time<br />
He adds that supporting students’ well-being is a collective<br />
effort - it works best when the school, student and parents are all<br />
invested and working together.<br />
“As a school, we are prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure<br />
that our students feel listened to and valued,” says Gary.

TROPICANA MAGAZINE<br />
Feeding your pet sustainable and chemical-free food has<br />
environmental benefits. Conventional pet food production<br />
can harm the environment through deforestation, water<br />
pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions, while sustainable<br />
pet food uses eco-friendly methods like organic farming.<br />
Furthermore, sustainable and chemical-free pet food<br />
promotes better pet health. Unlike conventional pet foods<br />
containing non-essential ingredients like corn, wheat, and<br />
soy, which can be allergens for some pets, sustainable pet<br />
food comprises whole, natural ingredients that are more<br />
beneficial for your pet’s well-being.<br />
Additionally, sustainable pet food boasts a more appealing<br />
taste. Unlike conventional pet foods with artificial flavours<br />
and colours that hide the true ingredients, sustainable pet<br />
food is crafted from real, whole ingredients, ensuring a<br />
flavour your pet will enjoy.<br />
Taste of the Wild<br />
This family-owned pet food company focuses on quality and<br />
affordability. <strong>The</strong> company’s founders advocate a diet for dogs<br />

CLOSING THE<br />
LOOP ON WASTE<br />
We need to break the waste cycle by reducing,<br />
reusing, and recycling right now<br />
<strong>The</strong> amount of waste we throw away grows by the day. It’s not only<br />
unsightly, but it’s also harmful to the environment. If we don’t do<br />
something to reduce, reuse, and recycle our waste, it will only get worse.<br />
We can do better<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Bank’s “What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot<br />

<strong>The</strong> government aims to increase<br />
the recycling rate to 40% by 2025.<br />
What can<br />
we do?<br />
Despite efforts to discourage the use of<br />
single-use plastic, the consumption of plastic<br />
packaging for food in Malaysia increased to<br />
148,000 tonnes in 2020, indicating a<br />
concerning upward trend in plastic usage.<br />
Buy fewer items, opt for repairs instead of disposal,<br />
compost food scraps, avoid food waste, and excess<br />
packaging. <strong>The</strong>se are just a few ways to achieve waste<br />

Michael Lee, the General Manager of Capri by Fraser, Bukit<br />

66<br />
Guests are welcomed to the porch of Capri by<br />
Fraser, Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur with a<br />
display of vibrant greenery gracing the wall. This<br />
initial sight speaks volumes about the hotel’s<br />
dedication to environmental preservation. Beyond<br />
this feature, the hotel has undertaken multiple<br />
sustainability initiatives that further demonstrate<br />
its commitment to a greener planet.<br />
“We are actively implementing various ecofriendly<br />
practices. For instance, we have<br />
replaced traditional amenities in the rooms<br />
with biodegradable and refillable containers for<br />
shampoo and soap. And, the toiletries are from<br />
a brand called 1969, known for using natural<br />
ingredients,” explains Michael.<br />
In food and beverage operations, priority is given<br />
to using biodegradable takeaway meal boxes<br />
made from sugar cane fibre. “Although the cost is<br />
higher, we believe it is a worthwhile investment in<br />
protecting the environment.”<br />
To reduce plastic waste, there are no plastic<br />
laundry bags in the rooms. Instead, guests can<br />
place their laundry in a designated container, and<br />
the housekeeping team will collect it.<br />
“As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce plastic<br />
waste, we plan to install water filters in every<br />
room, eliminating the need for bottled water.<br />
Similarly, for meetings, we use eco-friendly mugs<br />
and provide filtered water, reducing our reliance<br />
on plastic bottles,” says Michael.<br />
He adds that Capri by Fraser, Bukit Bintang<br />
has also established a recycling programme<br />
and subscribes to green energy from Tenaga<br />
Nasional Berhad.<br />
“As part of the Frasers Property Group, we<br />
have a collective commitment to achieve<br />
net zero carbon emissions by 2050. At the<br />
hotel level, we have implemented various<br />
programmes and established a sustainability<br />
committee to oversee our efforts. We have<br />
developed a comprehensive one-year plan<br />
outlining our sustainability strategies. To<br />
ensure transparency and accountability, we<br />
submit monthly reports detailing the amount<br />
of waste disposed of, as well as the specific<br />
sustainable practices we have implemented.<br />
Our dedication to sustainability is deeply<br />
ingrained in our operations, and we take these<br />
initiatives seriously,” Michael elaborates.

With dedication and perseverance, he eventually<br />
transitioned into the role of a concierge, which marked<br />
a significant milestone in his professional growth. “This<br />
experience provided me with valuable insights into guest<br />
services and personalised assistance,” he remembers.<br />
Throughout his career journey of nearly 30 years, he has<br />
consistently remained dedicated to delivering exceptional<br />
service and ensuring memorable experiences for guests.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> hotel industry holds a special place in my heart, and<br />
I am grateful for the diverse opportunities and enriching<br />
experiences it has provided me thus far.”<br />
What he truly enjoys is the opportunity to meet and<br />
connect with people. “Being in the hospitality line feels<br />
like a natural fit for me. I take pleasure in extending a<br />
warm and sincere welcome to guests, making them feel<br />
at home. <strong>The</strong>re’s a sense of fulfilment that comes when,<br />
at the end of their stay, guests express their gratitude<br />
and praise the hotel and team. <strong>The</strong>ir satisfaction and<br />
appreciation mean everything. It’s the ultimate reward<br />
and reinforces the purpose of our work.”<br />
To stay connected and informed, Michael immerses<br />
himself in daily operations. He personally checks-in<br />
guests at the reception and engages in various tasks on<br />
the floor. “This hands-on approach ensures that I remain<br />
in touch with both the staff and guests, and have a deep<br />
understanding of what is happening at all levels of the<br />
workplace.”<br />
70<br />
Michael’s strategy for motivating and inspiring his team<br />
revolves around working and playing together. “Everyone,<br />
regardless of their position, holds value and contributes<br />
to our success,” he stresses. When engaging with lowerranking<br />
employees, he recalls his own time as an entrylevel<br />
staff member, fostering empathy and understanding.<br />
When interacting with mid-level managers, he speaks<br />
their language, understanding their challenges and<br />
objectives. Similarly, when meeting with the executive<br />
team, Michael communicates in a way that aligns with<br />
their vision and goals.<br />
