Michelle is a pretty much a reserved and quiet individual who prefers working with a smaller group because she finds it easier to voice her opinions.

She has also taken up leadership position in both sec and jc band. To add, she is also comfortable with playing the piano.

She may not be well-versed using technology to explore her creativity; she does enjoy making hand-crafted cards.

Her most memorable teaching experience had to be her 6 months relief teaching at her alma mater in which the children that she met has made her walk down this road of being a teacher; part of her feels that she may one day return to becoming a primary school teacher. She has participated in various volunteering programmes that involve children between ages 7 to 16.

Poh Lai was a quiet and shy person before he was a young adult, through working experience as an engineering assistant/EA (in the backend support staff) after Polytechnics he remained as an introvert person. His roles as an EA in a corporate company (AT&T) covered research/investigate/test/verify on certain new products which vendors supply to the company, and liaised with the vendors and co-ordinated with in house / floor supervisor for availability of machine for him to do some testing on new products. He got to meet different vendors (external engineers/sales executives/director) from different companies. Also, he performed some engineering drawings and slide presentation from his finding to various groups of engineers and managers during the departmental meetings. He did it heartily though it was not his passion. He was well-liked by his colleagues.

Passion

It did not come cross in his mind that he would finally get the opportunity to study what he wanted to do ..., in 1995, he enrolled himself for a diploma in Fine Arts - (painting) with NAFA. He was nominated to be a class monitor for the 1st semester. he did well for his roles though he did not have the leadership quality as he dislikes to get people to do something they dislike.  He stepped down from a class monitor, however, he remained a very supportive class mate in his class. For example, there was a need to raise funds for producing graduation show 1998 art catalogues a month before the assessment period, he went to look for and meet those potential sponsors in their companies. He managed to help the class to raise substantial amount of funds to publish sufficient quantity of catalogues. In 1996, he led a group (22 students from sec year fine art dip) his fine art classmates to paint a huge mural (Stop smoking) along the Esplanade on the Bay. From 1999 to 2002, he occasionally volunteered himself in curating group art exhibitions and doing some administrative works.

He tried to stay true to his fine art training and practice. He did some freelance jobs such as mural painting, on-the-spot portrait sketching at World Trade Centre Singapore, medical illustration for SGH, and commissioned paintings. He was quite a conservative minded person until he went to Paris in 2003 for his 3-month Artist-in-Residence programme in the Cite International des Arts (CIA).  Where he met great artists, internationally famous musician, famous architects, writers, ... who lived in CIA. Paris is where he opens up his mind and began to see things in different perspectives, since then he has become a more open-minded person though there is still introvert in him. He fell in love with Paris at the first sight. That's why when he returned from Paris and curated a solo (3rd solo) for himself which entitled 'Poh Lai Fell in Love with Paris'.  Those great people he met, things and environment he observed in Paris has somehow influenced his thought and the way he sees things in this world. He wishes to learn French language, and re-visit Paris again in a near future.

In 2004 - 2006, he studied a BA in Fine Art (major in Painting, and minor in art history) in Falmouth University.  During his studies in Falmouth Uni he was one of the student Ambassadors for the Uni. He also initiated a jogging club in the Uni, jogging together in the evening with a group young joggers/runners. He experienced that he could get along with young people well.  After returning from UK in Aug 2006, he did what he used to do in freelance jobs, and focused more on art coaching from 2008 to 2011. He developed his love for teaching gradually and took on more art coaching programmes in Primary and Secondary Schools. In mid May 2011, he applied to MOE for becoming a full-time art teacher. He was posted to a secondary school as a contract teacher in Jan 2012. He was one of the teachers in charge in Guitar CCA, though he cannot play guitar, but he hopes to learn how to play some days.  He hopes to inspire his art students to reach their goals.

Interest

Jogging, running, singing, travelling, listening to music, drawing and painting.

Prior to GESL, Sophia used to be the president of Interact Club in her JC days, where she had opportunities to work with the elderly, children, youths-at-risk, low-income, and intellectually disabled.

Anthony is a patient individual who knows he is patient as he has devoted enough hours attempting to convert little kiddies to be interested in the piano . Music has always been a driving force in his life, and will continue to be. He appreciates classical the most, but also listens to new age, techno, retro, pop, ambient, and world music. Fundamentally, he is supportive of any form of expression/art that would give voice to those who may not have a conventional avenue to be heard, or who have no one to turn to in difficult times.

He was actively involved in UNDP projects in the Maldives some years ago, where he helped in the construction of infrastructure on a rural island, taught economics and also coordinated a piano education program on another slightly more developed island. He worked heavily with Maldivian teens and children during these projects.

He is a photography enthusiast, but is hopeless with Photoshop, and hopes he will never need to resort to that program. He is also capable of running physical training programs to teens if required, given his background as best physical trainee in NS, although bits have sagged and ballooned quite badly since those glorious days. He practises basic Yoga on the Wii, and may be able to get away with instructing others in this area.
