THE principal and teaching staff of Yan Chai Hospital Lim Por Yen Secondary School have taken steps to promote student guidance this academic year.
Because the subject of student guidance is fairly wide and non-specific, headmistress Mrs Lisu Chow Zee said the school had narrowed the theme down to ''Enhancing a student's self concept''.
With this objective in mind, the school's Moral and Civic Education Team and Student Counselling Committee met to organise a series of activities for the Moral and Civic Education Class.
Students from Forms 1 to 5 took part in various activities aimed at enhancing their self-image and improving self-esteem.
Activities included discussing a film, a projective test, value-clarification exercises and role-play.
''By taking part in these activities, we hope students have a better understanding of themselves, learn skills of self-expression and obtain clearer views of personal goals and moral values,'' Mrs Chow said.
She said she hoped teachers would encourage students to make positive efforts in both their academic and extra-curricular endeavours.
