"Planning for carnival at Bedok Town Square for the Friendly Faces, Lively Place Challenge was a very enriching experience as we learnt how to organise a community activity and learnt how to communicate effectively with both my teammates and the public. We also enjoyed ourselves in the process as we got to work with our friends and made new friends at the same time!" Ng Jie Lyn, 4B and Ng Jie Qi, 4C

“Through the project, I realized that I can can plan and execute an activity for the public. Initially I thought it was very hard as I have never been involved in such events. It is true that there were challenges, which helped me to stretch myself and learn new things. I learnt that even though I may not be someone good with plants, I still could teach others how to make a proper terrarium. I also learnt that I can communicate with strangers and learn to adapt to people's requests.” – Charmaine Liong Shuen Meng, 4B

“Through the project, I realized that I can work well with my peers and have the ability to build stronger bonds with them. I also learnt that we should think through plans properly and more thoroughly next time and expect the unexpected and I learnt from this experience.” – Ooi Wean See, 4K

“Through the project, I realized that I can make a difference to the community through small actions and events.” – Hui Pui Ji, 4C

“Through the project, I realized that I can make a significant difference to communities even if I am a student and that it is easy to make someone's day even if it is just a small action.” – Sie Jin See, Valencia, 4K
