The LLP programme, Make the Difference, A Hougean’s Way Of Life, aims to:

To develop students as GREAT Stars and Community Youth Leaders
-
To provide a sustained and enhanced student-centric values education progressively over 4/5 years which impacts the community.
Students go through experiences guided by our 3Es Approach:
Tier One Community Youth Leadership (CYL) Programme:
Sec 1 | Sec 2 | Sec 3 | Sec 4/5 |
Take Action | Raise Awareness | Be An Advocate | Class-Based VIA to impact the community |
Community Youth Leadership Training: Make the Difference, A Hougean’s Way of life - Students are given opportunities to learn about service-learning and leadership challenge, apply them in community and leadership projects and celebrate their accomplishments with their peers, teachers and families. | |||
CCA-VIA: Each CCA identifies a suitable community partner and the VIA activities are conducted during their CCA regularly. This is done with guidance from VIA leaders who lead their CCAs in implementing projects to meet community needs. | |||

• Sign Language
Learn-A-Skill Across CCA in August 2023
After engaging with beneficiaries in Semester 1, selected CCAs were give the opportunity to conduct workshops to share their skill with other CCAs, as well as learn from other CCAs. This helped to develop them into active contributors and more confident persons.
VIA Leaders Training
Each CCA’s VIA Leaders went for training to lead their members in the planning and implementation process. They also visited elderly at Feiyue @ Buangkok Green to understand their needs and relay this information to their members to aid in the planning.
Five Selected VIA Leaders also represented the school to take part in St. Hilda’s Secondary School 4th Biennial Service-Learning Symposium. Not only were they enriched by best practices shared by many schools, they were also encouraged to think critically and deeply on social issues faced by Singapore.
In Semester 2, Our VIA Leaders had the opportunity to serve the community at Fernvale CC as part of the PAssionArts @ The Heartland Music Fest on 5 August 2023. Students taught members of the public how to fold origami flowers and butterflies.
