2022 Secondary 4 Student Development Day

The two full days of workshop held on 27 and 28 January were extremely educational and enjoyable. The opportunities to try countless exciting activities deepened our bonds with our classmates and equipped us with valuable skills for the future.

The first day was Careers Day. There was not a sound to be heard in the classroom as every student listened intently to every word our seniors said. Their motivational stories and experiences serve as an inspiration for us to work harder so we too can achieve success like them in the future. One particularly inspiring talk was the one by Jessica Tan. She is a co-CEO of one of China’s largest companies, Ping An Group. 

During the Financial Literacy Workshop, students were engaged in numerous hands-on activities. The highlight of the programme was definitely the life simulator game. It allowed us to learn more about managing money responsibly as an adult. As Myra Kong from 4J shared, “Through activities such as planning a party and trying to win an auction with a limited sum of money, I learnt a lot about how to use my money wisely as well as the repercussions of not doing so.” 

Besides Careers Day and the Financial Literacy Workshop, the school also invited trainers to conduct a Personal Effectiveness Workshop. The trainers came in with bright smiles, eager to teach and help us figure out our learning style and how we could effectively maximise the time we have to our benefit. Ong Jia Xuan from 4T commented, “Throughout the entire session, we learned various tips on how to be productive, which are highly relevant to us as students. It helped us discover our strengths and our study habits.”

All in all, the workshops and programmes organised for the Secondary 4 students were refreshing. Even though it was a short break from our normal school curriculum, we had gained many insights and even strengthened our class spirit. We would definitely love to attend many more workshops like these in the future!
