Volunteering @ Special Vacation for Primary School Students

Background  

The 5th wave pandemic triggered by Omicron has severely impacted the learning of students more than ever before. Schools would start their “Summer Holiday” from early March for the first time to control the COVID from spreading. This is certainly stunning to many parents, as most of them haven’t planned anything for their kids yet.  

To help ease the worries and anxiety of the parents, Leadership Qualities Centre of the Office of Student Affairs is going to mobilise students to serve as their buddies and provide meaningful ONLINE learning opportunities to the children in March and April.
