SG Perspectives (Staff) with Permanent Secretary Mr Aubeck Kam
On 11 October, our teachers had the unique privilege of engaging Permanent Secretary (Home Affairs Development, and Social and Family Development) Mr Aubeck Kam in dialogue as part of the SG Perspectives Programme which seeks to broaden perspectives on contemporary issues that impact Singapore. Permanent Secretary Kam spoke on the challenges and importance of “Securing the Future of Homeland Security in Singapore.” The staff gained an insight into the crucial role that they can play in educating students on issues of national concern such as online youth self-radicalisation and the increase in young drug offenders. The College would like to thank PS Kam for the enriching session. The College would also like to thank the Ministry of Education Character & Citizenship Education Branch for co-organising this dialogue for the benefit of our teachers.
Student Leaders’ Congress
On 8 October, the Student Leadership Committee held our annual Student Leaders’ Congress. The theme for this year was "Empowering Youth of Tomorrow". Student leaders gathered together to learn from real world thought leaders through a series of learning journeys and workshops, and engaged in meaningful discussions to identify possible catalysts of positive change. They also had the opportunity to exchange perspectives and insights with students from Denmark who were visiting the College as part of a homestay experience, thereby enriching their discussions. The student leaders ended the session feeling inspired to embrace challenges, innovate and take actionable steps towards creating a positive impact in the community and shaping a brighter future for the community and nation.
