Exposure on Community and Environment Issues<br />

In alignment with the theme, “Leaders Within”, this year, we also<br />

expose our student leaders to environmental and community<br />

issues. This year, for the first time, some Student Councillors come<br />

together to organise Earth Hour. During this week, students had<br />

the opportunity to pen down what and how they can contribute<br />

to save the Earth and the environment. Apart from that, we also<br />

have groups of student leaders who went to Pulau Semakau to<br />

better understand the issue of waste management Singapore<br />

is facing now and in the future. It was also an opportunity for<br />

the student leaders to fell in love with nature as they walk<br />

through the mud and get upclose with the varied sea organisms<br />

during the inter-tidal walk at Pulau Semakau. Another group of<br />

student leaders also attended a Teens Conference where they<br />

get to discuss community issues such as caring for migrant<br />

workers, caring for people with disabilities and protecting the<br />

environment.<br />

With these platforms, the Student Leadership Committee hope<br />

that student leaders will use these opportunity to hone their<br />

leadership skills and will also continue to think what can they do<br />

to as an active contributor to their society.<br />
