Klover Asia Returns to CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School

“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn.”

– Benjamin Franklin

Klover Asia returned to CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School in Singapore on 15 March 2017, to conduct a series of workshops on Project Planning and Management, Creative Problem-Solving and Ethical Leadership. Almost 80 secondary two to four student councillors attended the half-day workshops which delved deep into the subject matters and saw the participants taking part in hands-on activities and presentations beyond lectures.

The trainers provided clear explanations and the content was constantly related back to the students’ school and leadership experiences to illustrate real-life applications. Combined with strong interactions between the participants and the trainers, the student councillors managed candid discussions on the topics and their learning was greatly enhanced in the process.

Based on the comments below, it is evident that these student leaders not only benefitted personally from the enjoyable sessions, they also stand in good stead to employ their newly gained knowledge to contribute to the school and their peers.
