Students participated in SIMs, a simulated real life experience – studying at school, working a full time job, and juggling family and social commitments, etc. The activity allowed them to explore their personal goals, strengths and weaknesses. Students had a blast living “another life” while taking away lessons such as the importance of time management and prioritizing for their real lives.
For Human Library, guests from various industries shared their own dream pursuing journeys and experiences with our students. The speakers included an accountant, architect, bankers, basketball player, chef, composer, pastry chef, engineer, entrepreneur, fashion designer, interior designer, nurse, playgroup teacher, policewoman and social worker. Students chose which speaker events to attend so they were attentive and involved during the sharing sessions. The speakers encouraged the students to pursue their dreams through determination and a good work ethic.
