It's been awhile since I last wrote. I was busy visiting during the Chinese New Year period.
On the weekdays, together with our coaches, we visited families of a number of students and they really host us well. We were given endless new year goodies and we chatted a lot with the parents and the students.
Through these visits, I realised there are some things in common.
1) Independent learning:
For most of the kids that are with us, their younger sibling are with us too. The parents have witnessed the change, especially on the aspect of independent learning and they want the same for the younger kids too. We have parents who told us that in the past, they had to nagged for their child to pick up their books and pens. However, the story is different now. They have to ask their child to have sufficient rest and take time away from their books.
2) Long-term impact
The P6 kids we have last year have graduated and they are growing in their teens now. As coaches, we are really pleased to know that our teachings go beyond PSLE. Even in secondary school, they strives to give their best, not aiming for a pass, a C or a B, but the highest possible grade, A. They withhold high standard for themselves and give their 100% in every piece of work that they do.
Knowing that the impact we can bring to them, i felt really privilege to be in the ISUN platform, where academic is not the only thing we do. The students' character and growth are our main concerns too. Being their coaches, every lesson is an opportunity for me to mould these young children to be leaders of the next generation.
