Who's your 'facis'? NUS High Camp

The last weekend spent with NUS High School participants at the YLMP Camp was truly a memorable and enriching experience!

As facilitator of group 4, I’ve had lots of fun with my team and have learnt much from them too. It’s inspiring to see a Year 2, Pan Chuen, taking up leadership responsibility and lead the team in many activities to great success. It was also impressive to have the rest of the team, students from Year 2 to Year 5, to listen to the suggestions of a younger person and give constructive feedback throughout. This demonstrates that the group has great respect for one another, and the maturity to listen and speak at the right place, at the right time.

During our Community hunt, the group showed great unity and a healthy competitive spirit. When some members of the group had to stop to catch their breath while running from point to point, those who are running in front would stop and wait patiently for them. And Royston, our Team leader, never fails to encourage the team and keep the enthusiasm of the team high.

I’m really touched by the Thank You card my group has made for us at the end of the camp. Your kind words of gratitude and encouragement made us feel that all our hard work put into this camp was well spent. On a side note, the short form of the word for ‘facilitators’ used by most SMU students is ‘facis”. I laughed really hard when I saw that I was being addressed as a ‘facist’ in the card. Hahaha! Thank you for really wonderful experience
