A Fantastic Learning Experience!

The Leadership Development Workshop 2006 organized by the staff of Student Affairs Department has garnered much positive feedback from the participating students, who gave their thumbs high up for the informative sessions and fun interactions featured in the workshop. The two-day event took place on 25 and 26 March, where 66 participants from various societies and student representative groups on campus gathered at the multi-purpose hall in the Sports Complex, with great enthusiasm to learn more about effective leadership.

It has always been TAR College’s principal goal to provide multi-disciplinary education and all-rounded learning opportunities to all students. The College is committed to instil and develop within the students positive personal values, such as sense of responsibility and team spirit, which will contribute to greater workforce productivity and development of the community. Through the various workshops and seminars conducted by the Student Affairs Department and Centre for Continuing Professional Education, students are encouraged to take the initiative to equip themselves with soft-skills necessary for them to perform effectively as a leader as well as member of a team in the learning context and at the workplace.

During the Leadership Development Workshop, the participants through an informative session came to a better comprehension of the College’s Standard Operation Procedures for student societies. The students also learnt about the traits and approaches of different styles of leadership, which enables them to have a better understanding of self and others, and to further enhance their management skills. The importance of effective communication was also being constantly stressed in the talks and games during the workshop, as it is a crucial skill for establishing beneficial and meaningful relationships within a collective body.

“The execution of the workshop is professional yet at the same time very enjoyable,” said one of the participants Chai May Li, who is also the Vice Chairperson of the Student Welfare Society of School of Pre-University Studies.

Chieng Yu Huat, a student representative of School of Technology, also found the workshop extremely beneficial. He gladly shared his learning experience and remarked that the workshop is totally different from what he had expected.

“I really learnt a lot from this workshop. The plentiful and interesting programs have taught me meaningful lessons on how to be a good leader, as well as on the importance of teamwork, just to name a few,” said Yu Huat.

Constructing the big picture …. Mind-engaging activity that requires organizational skills and teamwork.

Robust physical and mental strength are crucial in playing leadership roles. And obviously arm-wrestling is a good way to put the former to the test.
