Project Description:
These students undertook this group Project-Based Learning (PBL) initiative under the transdisciplinary theme How We Organize Ourselves. Through their project, Helping Hands, they formed a non-profit organisation with the aim of upskilling underprivileged children. The initiative began in Term 1 with a needs-based survey to understand the requirements of the children, followed by regular visits where the students planned and facilitated engaging learning activities. Each visit was thoughtfully designed to support skill development and create meaningful learning experiences.
Project Outcome:
As the project progressed, the students demonstrated strong commitment, collaboration, and empathy by consistently engaging with the children and adapting their approach based on feedback and needs. Their most recent visits in December reflected growth in planning and execution. Looking ahead, the students planned to provide resources that would enable the children to create products using the skills they have learned. These products would then be showcased and sold at school, with the funds raised being given back to the children, thereby fostering empowerment and sustainable learning. The project successfully promoted social responsibility, initiative, and real-world problem-solving skills.
