Lots of time and effort went into the daily practice

It’s showtime!

YMCA SCC @ De La Salle had the shared honour of performing the opening act for the YMCA 3rd SCC Annual Storytelling competition. We had a centre full of nervous but excited students who relished the experience. Our contestants managed to calm their nerves to deliver their Stories of Singapore to an appreciative audience. What an achievement after weeks of practise!

The end product

The big sale!

YMCA SCC@DLS’s first Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) took place in December. The objective of this programme is to cultivate social entrepreneurship among the young. Our students planned, made and sold their product to raise funds for the needy students in the school. This enabled them to experience the joy of putting in effort for a good cause.

In Term 4, our students had week after week of fun while learning how to make percussion instruments from recycled materials. They then had a chance to make music with these instruments.
