SUPPORT GROUP)<br />
Starlight Club also organised a simulated movie night<br />
out at the cinema and a cookie-baking session for<br />
Father’s Day. Besides increasing caregivers’ bonding<br />
the community clubs provide persons with intellectual<br />
disability social and public integration, and increase<br />
the choice of social and recreational activities.<br />
Bocce was introduced every Saturday and a pool of<br />
volunteers helped to run the programme.<br />
Volunteers from the NUS’ Student Union Volunteer<br />
Action Committee (NVAC) continued to support<br />
activities such as Christmas Eve parties, Chinese New<br />
Year home visits, Pulau Ubin camp, visit to Singapore<br />
Youth Olympics Centre and various other outings.<br />
Starlight Club started a regular creative music and<br />
movement classes conducted by Mr Dolph using the<br />
Orff Schulwerk techniques for youths with special<br />
needs. The approach centered on integrating the<br />
fundamental unity of music including speech, singing,<br />
movement and instruments, and promote creativity<br />
entertainment and fun beside the therapeutic effects of<br />
enhancing sensitivity and building confidence.<br />
