3. Tea Sessions, Nominations, and other Opportunities: Throughout the year, the ECG team also works with external partners, providing opportunities for students to attend tea sessions and relevant talks for exposure. 

4. ECG Counselling: Students are encouraged to continue their group or individual ECG counselling sessions with our ECG Counsellor, Ms. Joys Lin.
