Introduction

SMK La Salle 

Community Service Initiative is a module that helps on the development of personal and social responsibility skills in an individual This will enrich an individual’s intellectual, ethical and interpersonal skills. Community Service is a form of service learning. We as students will have opportunities to understand our surrounding community with the basic knowledge and skills.

On the first day of class, I was both curious and surprised that what would be needed to do for this module as I was not very sure how exactly the module is structured. The first thought was a clean-up for our mother nature such as the forest or around the neighbourhood. Our lecturers, Mr Chandra and Ms Pauline introduced the module and I understood the learning objectives and the outcomes of this module.

I recalled we were introduced to a programme called the Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) on the first day of class. This programme aims to improve the English proficiency of selected primary and secondary students through sharing, learning and support. We were assigned to 8 groups with 3 to 4 students in each group and had 8 visits for this project.

This project was indeed very fun and the learning objectives were also achieved. I hoped the students also enjoy and find this project useful in the very near future.

Read and discover the journey that I had experience during my time in SMK La Salle! It was sure an unforgettable experience!
