Team building in School

I am impressed by the secondary school orientation program. Pei Hwa is a new school and the school engages professional team building organisation to run the program. The facilitators are JC students and they run the programs. They have break the ice sessions, building trust and different games to build teamwork. This is so much better than my time.

The programs in Secondary schools are getting more and more sophisticated. Xinmin use student leaders and the newbies learn the school war cries, cheers and learn to do sketch and have a campfire all in a week.

This is good orientation and induction into the school. I am also glad ragging is no longer allowed in University and Polytechnics under the guise of freshman orientation. The school environment is now friendlier with better ice-breaking to welcome all freshman.

I am glad to see this kind of progress in our school system.
