School Name :

Daughters of Mary Help of Christians Siu Ming Catholic

Project Name : Love.Shine, Finding Utopia
Number of Core Students  : 10
Project Descriptions : This project became a stepping stone for the development of whole school leadership training. Aiming to equip and mold our students with the skills needed to act on a leadership role in different sectors of the society in the future so that they would become competent in fulfilling their tasks and responsibilities. Hence we were able to fulfill our mission to educate our young to develop and utilise their potentials in contributing themselves fully to the society.

Students Workshop :


 

Student’s Learning :
  • Students realized the importance of setting objectives. For instance, they guided the Tier 2 students by ensuring that they achieved their aims. Having objectives in front of them, they have become more equipped and find out the problems easily.
  • Students learned how to coach others to do reflections. For instance, in leading their own clubs in the school, they asked their members to make evaluations through guidelines, and they shared their experiences and stimulated their thinking and reflection. As a result, they were able to encourage them to think further deeper and make it become their lifelong experiences.
  • Students learned to improve their communication, therefore in order to avoid others to have hard feelings, they first considered their feelings before pointing out their mistakes. Instead of scolding them directly, they tried to talk to them and find out the reasons behind. As a result, they were able to compromise with each other and came up with an agreement. They may therefore be happier to cooperate with each other and fulfill their duties well.
Teachers’ Learning :
  • By sharing first with all the teachers the skills in mentoring students to deeper reflection and drawing up a teacher’s manual giving guidelines according to what we have learnt, we gradually equipped our teachers to coach our students competently.

Our Reflection :

Project Teacher
Realize “Self- directed Learning”

“At the school level, we planned to enhance teachers’ skills in facilitating students’ learning from quality reflection. Hence we were able to establish with time a perpetuating system to provide experience in organising social service as part of the senior OLE curriculum. We were also able to realise the school target ‘Self-directed Learning’ in a non-academic context.”

Emphasize students’ deeper reflection

“At the teacher level, we have learnt to put more trust in the core members’ potential that they may be very well developed their leadership in guiding the Tier 2 students. Teachers thus became observers and advisers. And throughout the process, we also learned to make right decision when to prompt and guide or to step back and let go. On the other hand, we also discovered the need to deliver, emphasize and follow-up frameworks for deeper reflection. Moreover we become more and more competent in using the PIE and ASK models in addition to the Six Levels of Reflections, giving greater impact at personal, group and school levels. It also allowed us to draw up immediate, medium and long term plans in this area.”


Core Members
Inspire a shared vision “By sharing the same vision, the group has a common goal to work on and achieve. This definitely helped to unit the whole group.”
Challenge the process

Before joining this project, I simply made the decisions without listening to others’ opinions. After I learnt the communication skills in this LED Project, I realised that listening to others was very important. Now, I know that making decisions without listening is not the best way to solve the problem. When listening to others’ opinions, both of us can learn through listening.

Enable others to act

“I also found out that enabling others to act was also very important. No matter how capable a leader was, he or she could not do everything alone. So I learned to trust others’ capability to finish the task. This absolutely increased the efficiency of the task and recognised others’ contribution.’’

Encourage the heart

“I think encouraging others with passion is important. In this project, we met many difficulties and would be upset. Emotional feeling was also an important component for a project. Encouraging others was important. After sharing your own experience, they would become better. In this LED project, I became more mature. I knew that encouragement was more important than punishment.”

Model the way

“After this project, I applied the skills on Senior Student Helper. As a Senior Student Helper, I always chat with junior students. Not only be a bystander to help others, but also identify myself as their role to think how they feel and what they need. Through the chatting, I can understand their needs deeply. Then, I would strive for excellence to identify myself as their role and help them adapt to the new school environment.”
