Sem 1 Team Bonding at Futsal Arena @ Yishun Park

Bubble Bump.

Most of our PSLs had fun during the Semester 1 Team Bonding session. Not only did they have fun,they also made new friends in the PSL community by playing the Bubble Bump. The event’s objectives were to allow PSLs to get to know more about each other and step out of their comfort zone.Through these activities, the PSLs had the chance to improve their teamwork and communication skills with one another despite being in a bubble. It helped the PSLs to learn new things such as looking out for their fellow PSLs’ safety and encouraging them to participate more during the activities.After all, the Student Well-being teachers had spent much time choosing the activities for the PSLs so that they could have fun.

In conclusion, the Semester 1 Team Bonding session was really fun and engaging and I hope that we can have more opportunities like this in the future.

Peer Support Leaders in the Creative Movement Programme for Youths

This study explores the impact of the Creative Movement Programme for Youths, an initiative by EtonHouse Community Fund Limited, on the development of the Peer Support Leaders (PSLs) in Yishun Secondary School over a period of 8 weeks. The programme, designed to support the holistic growth of children and youths, integrates movement-based activities to enhance emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills.

Participants exhibited notable improvements in their confidence when expressing themselves in front of others. They developed a deeper understanding of their peers' actions by recognising the emotional motivations behind them. The PSLs also demonstrated heightened awareness of their own body language as a reflection of their inner emotional states.

Furthermore, the programme equipped students with practical strategies to manage stress and engage more empathetically with their peers. These outcomes suggest that creative movement can serve as a powerful tool for nurturing social-emotional competencies among youth leaders, contributing positively to school environments and peer support systems.
