KULIM: Many underestimate the necessity of soft skills even though those qualities are crucially evaluated in an individual. Understanding the importance of these skills, the students of Han Chiang University College of Communication (HCUC) decided to share their knowledge about soft skills with the young students of King’s Kids Academy in a training session called All Stars Leadership Programme.
Naming themselves as The Navigators, this group of 10 students were headed by Joan Chong Eileen who stressed the importance of building soft skills, particularly leadership quality among children aged 7 to 12 years old. Through different engaging and fun game sessions, she along with her team aims to cultivate their positive characteristics, unleash their talents and explore their abilities and capabilities.
“We are really happy that King’s Kids Academy gives us a chance to educate the lovely kids about positive values through some fun activities and games,” she said.
All Stars Leadership Programme was opened to King’s Kids Academy students in primary school standards 1 to 6. It was held at the second brand of King’s Kids Academy from 2 pm to 5 pm. A total of 24 students participated in the programme that day.
“Leadership and teamwork are elements that children rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with within the education syllabus, so it is a brilliant idea for them to understand these two qualities through games,” Low Hooi Peng, the principal of King’s Kids Academy said.
She also firmly believes that the All Stars Leadership Programme can help the children to improve in all aspects comprehensively and prepare them for future challenges.
All Stars Leadership Programme was by the undergraduate students of HCUC in conjunction with the requirements of the subject Self Development on September 22.
