Service-Learning Programme
 
Service-Learning was adopted in 2011 as an approach to the existing Community Involvement Programme (CIP) of the school, placing equal emphasis on service outcomes and learning goals.
 
The programme is well aligned with the four desired outcomes of education (confident leaders, self-directed learners, concerned citizen and active contributors). In addition, service-learning can build students’ SEL competencies beyond the classroom. Hence, it is worthwhile extending the learning into the authentic world to allow students to be actively involved in enriching the lives of others and themselves.
 
Service-Learning program in CTSS aims to develop every Clementeens into:
  • ACTIVE Contributor who has the confidence to voice up, work effectively in teams, innovative and strives for excellence.
  • BRIGHT Learner who takes initiatives to serve the real need of community and take ownership of his/her learning.
  • CARING and Concerned Citizen who can communicate effectively and has good inter-personal skills and takes an active part in bettering the lives of others around him.
 
In 2010, the Student Councillors raised an amount of $3550 through the sale of t-shirts. This student-initiated project, entitled “For Haiti”, has been sent in for participation in a competition termed “Design for Change” (DFC) and won the “Most people impacted award”.
 
A total sum of $1163 was also raised in 2011 to help the earthquake-stricken Japanese survivors after the 11 March Tohoku disaster.
