Bandar Seri
Begawan - The Chung Hua Middle School Parents Teachers
Association (PTA) recently organised a life skills competition camp
for primary six students and on-the-job leadership training for
students from secondary three.
The camp was enthusiastically
participated by some 60 students and run by some 20 parents and
teachers from Chung Hua Middle School in Kuala Belait.
The OGDC team led by Mr Albert
Cheng conducted scientific activities on the water rocket and the
spaghetti bridge, both of which were very stimulating.
Some 18 students from secondary
three were given first-hand leadership training during the camp to
lead, guide and ensure that activities and discipline were co-ordinated.
The campers learnt to build a
campfire and enjoyed an evening of BBQ, including trying their
skills at pancake-making. The beach treasure hunt following the
early morning exercise to Taman Jubilee was a fruitful one as
campers later had a chance to discover their hidden talents.
Activities to impart life skills to
the primary six pupils included sewing, ironing, first-aid,
memory-enhancement, creative art, knotting and neckties. The camp
master, who is also the first Deputy Chairman of the PTA, Mr Terry
Jayasuriya, stressed the importance of the lifelong development of
skills in a conducive learning atmosphere through the
learning-by-doing methodology.
The campers were divided into seven
groups and each activity was assessed accordingly to a set of
criteria to impart healthy competitive skills amongst the groups.
Group H finally emerged the winning team. The Principal, Ms Hong
Geok Cheng in her closing address, thanked the parents, teachers and
students for making the camp a success and urged the participants to
immediately put into practice the multiple skills acquired. The PTA
aspires to supplement the co-curriculum and continues to provide
wholesome activities for the betterment of the school. -- Courtesy of Borneo
