Sandcastle Building

Rome was not built overnight. Everything we do takes time and effort to plan, to build, to maintain and to become something really great. In the process, we will meet challenging changes. Face them with perseverance and a firm belief in ourselves and dreams will definitely turn into reality.

Build A Castle

Hi everyone! I used to wonder how sandcastles were fabulously crafted when I was young. I tried to do like what I saw, but ultimately, it's just a lump of sand. Upon attending the retreat organised by SWC, I realised that sand and water is like pupils and teacher. When building a sandcastle, I need not just sand, but also water. Pupils need teacher and a teacher needs her pupils. Apart from that, I can't get my castle ready and done nicely at the same time, without help from my team members. That goes the same for working in a school, I can't survive alone without my colleagues lending a helping hand. In conclusion, I hope that this new semester will bring about changes , which is inevitable, so that I can be a more effective teacher and worker. Happy working together, dear colleagues! :)

Sandcastle Building - Castles Can Fly

As the title goes, castles can fly so can our dream...
Believe in yourself, in people around you,
and things that you thought you cannot achieve,
will be made possible~

Castles Flying High!

Double rainbows and majestic sandcastles. A picture perfect sight. It was made possible with co-operation, perseverance, hardwork and gritty determination. Every individual's contributions played a significant role in the sandcastle building activity. We have made castles that are flying high! A memorable day for all to savor.

Enjoy the weekend!

Reflection on Sandcastle Building Activity

The activity was really fun. We got to work as a group and focussed on each other's strengths. Although the sandcastle building task seemed quite daunting at first, the group managed to work things out eventually. Through the activity, I learnt the importance of perseverance, that change was inevitable, and teamwork was crucial for the survival of the organization. When difficulties are encountered along the way, always remember that help is nearby.

Sandcastles Can Fly

There are many things in life which are not within our control and this includes changes. Working in an industry where changes are abundant, we really must learn to accept changes readily and move on together with team members quickly.

This sandcastle building experience had summed up two important factors contributing to a successful organization, namely adaptability to changes and team-work. Hope all of us are able to exercise this at work....Cheers
