Story Telling Competition Students from each level were selected, and coached by the Student Care Teachers to narrate and present their stories based on “Peace”. It was an interesting experience for our kids as this encouraged them to be more confident. Han Loh representing GESCC for the Lower Primary Semi Finals
Children’s Day Celebration We had Children’s Day Celebration on 6th October 2016. The teachers came up with interesting games and prepared a delicious lunch for the students. Every child went home with loads of sweet treats and presents.
Racial Harmony Day During Racial Harmony, teachers and students were dressed in their traditional costumes. They also learnt about the different racial cultures through fun quizzes and games.

YMCA SCC @ Gan Eng Seng Newsletter Termly Enrichment Programmes
July 2016 – December 2016
In GESCC we conduct weekly Enrichment Programmes. In Terms 3 & 4, our students participated in the Y Junior MasterChef & Y Basketball Programmes.
Y Junior MasterChef In the Y Junior MasterChef Programme, students were taught to prepare simple meals & snacks such as fruit kebabs, tuna & egg sandwiches & every kid’s favourite banana split with yogurt ice cream and strawberry toppings.
Y Basketball Students were taught 4 techniques in the basketball practice drills. By the end of the lessons, they were able to dribble and pass the ball to their team mates with confidence.
