Service Learning at Santo Yusup School - Sec 3A

On 22nd May, Sec 3A visited the Santo Yusup School, also known as Saint Joseph College. It is a privately owned Catholic school, which provides quality education to students from kindergarten to senior high level. Upon arrival, we were enthralled by the warm welcome extended to us by the school. Starting from the entrance of the school, their pupils greeted us by forming a line on both sides of the walkway, with boisterous music played by the members of their military band in the background. We were truly honoured by the grand reception from the school.

After a short introductory speech by the representatives of both schools, we were invited to participate in their morning exercise, which was likened to our ‘Great Singapore Workout’. Although the exercise consisted of very simple steps, all of us managed to work out a good sweat.

As our visit coincided with the school’s CCA day, our pupils had the opportunity to be involved in their various activities. For instance, some of the boys took part in a caterpillar competition.




The highlight of this school visit was the service learning component, where our pupils were tasked to teach English language. Over the past week, our pupils painstakingly prepared the teaching materials, eager to impart their knowledge to their counterparts. Albeit some setbacks like language barrier and challenging classroom scenarios, our pupils still pressed on, and taught to their best ability, embodying our school’s core value of ‘Resilience’. Kudos to the pupils of Sec 3A!
