Conclusion

All in all, I had a great experience throughout the whole journey in SMK La Salle. I learned and gained unforgettable experience from our visits here in SMK La Salle. With this experience, I realised my communication and teamwork skills improved.

Another than that, I also understood the importance of teamwork and team effort in achieving goals, in this case, to make the final drama performance a successful one. Before participating this project questions were in my mind as I wondered whether were we welcomed by the students or will the students be interactive with us? This cleared my mind in the end of the performance as everyone’s hard work was paid off.

Furthermore, I felt the challenges such as from not knowing the students on the first day until the last day of the final performance was not easy at all! Never came to my mind that being a mentor to the elementary students in SMK La Salle would be great responsibility. Ensuring the students practise, encouragement and also having the interest in completing the tasks given.

Lastly, although there were some challenges faced throughout the 8 weeks, I enjoyed the time spent with my friends, lecturers and the students in SMK La Salle. I hope there will be similar projects such as this Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) in the future.
