Pre-trip bonding session

On 16 October 2009, some 20 elderly and children from Blk 203 Ang Mo Kio were invited to our school for a year-end celebration. The Parents Support Group, as well as the 40 students who will be going for the 7-day heritage learning journey and CIP trip to Hainan, were involved in the celebration.

This year-end celebration has served as a pre-trip bonding session for our students. Prior to this event, the students were divided into 4 groups, with different tasks assigned: Games, Performance, Lantern-Making and Service. The students had to plan what they wanted to do and put up a good night for the elderly and children. Through a week of preparation work, the students get to know one another better, and are definitely more prepared for more CIP activities ahead.
