1. What makes you proud to be part of the YC family? Can you share a specific moment or experience?

The school often has cca training, which allows us to work together with our seniors and juniors. We strengthen bond within each other, which makes us feel like we are at home.

The school also holds an annual sports event, which allows us to work in different groups. We learnt the importance of teamwork and that different people have different strengths

2. What small actions can we take as students to boost the sense of of belonging to our school?

We can be respectful to each other and to our school, don’t vandalise the school’s property, treat it with care. For example, during lessons in the computer labs, we should use the computer with care and not press the keys on the keyboard with a lot of force. We can also make posters to promote respect between classmates and students to teachers. Like a simple “ good morning “ will make the teacher feel respected. If you see your classmates, we should wave to them, so they know that they are recognised in this school.

3. What changes would make you feel more at home in our school?

We want a slightly longer recess maybe by 5-10 mins / or later/earlier recess as sometimes a few levels have recess together and the queues for the stalls are very long, after we queue, we have very little time to finish our food, and we may overshot sometimes, causing us to be late for our lessons.

We also want more interclass activities as it will strengthen our class spirit and the bond between our classmates. We can get to know each other better and have a sense of pride and belonging to the class.

We also want aircon in our classrooms/ a lift in the school / lockers. Sometimes, the weather is very hot and we feel like turning on the aircon, so it would be good if we have aircon. Sometimes, students injure themselves and all the classes have to change to level 1 which is quite inconvenient even for the teachers. If we had a lift, teachers would be more convenient and they have a lot of books to carry and it’s hard for them to climb up and down with the heavy books. We also would like lockers as our bags are very heavy, but we cannot put them under our desk as other students come into our classrooms, and if they damage our books, they are not responsible.

4. What difference will these suggestions make for our school?

Our school will be much more convenient and comfortable. Students will look forward to coming to school everyday to enjoy lessons.

What makes you feel proud to be part of the YC family? Can you share a specific moment or experience?

I’m proud to be part of YC because it feels like a place where everyone’s got each other’s back. One moment that would be forever engraved in my mind, would be during the Secondary One Orientation. The SCs went out of their way to help the Secondary Ones settle in, making sure no one felt left out. Only this moment me realise how much YC values not just learning but also building a loving community.

What small actions can we take as students to boost the sense of belonging to our school?

We can do simple things like greeting new students warmly and showing them around. Getting involved in school events, like the Secondary 1 Orientation or the Annual Cross Country Event, helps us bond with each other. Even small acts like offering moral support and lend a helping hand to those who are in need of help can go a long way in making everyone feel like they belong in the YC family.

What changes would make you feel more at home in our school?

Adding cozy spots where students can sit and relax would make the school feel more comfortable. Also, having more cultural exchange events, like hosting Taiwan and South Korean teachers and students (which we already had) can help us learn from each other, and improve the relationship between the schools.

It would make YC feel like it is welcoming and supportive. In a sense when students feel more comfortable with their environment, it boosts the school spirit and makes us prouder to be part of YC. It helps us feel that YC is not just a school for all of us, but a home where we all belong.

1. What makes you feel proud to be part of the YC family? Can you share a specific moment?

I’m proud to be a part of the YC family as they make me feel part of various things and let me try out new things by providing many opportunities to further my interests. Yuan Ching is also reputable school in our neighborhood that makes me proud to wear their name on my back. Yuan Ching makes me feel included in the family in many ways. One of those is Class breakfast. I get to eat my food with my friends and that helps me to bond with them more. Our caring teachers also provide us with some snacks to fill our stomachs. I’m glad Yuan Ching does not just care about our studies but also takes care of our wellbeing and mental health by giving us this time to relax and spend some time with our classmates!

2. What small actions can we take as students to boost the sense of belonging to our school?

We can actively contribute in class discussions, and even suggest things that might make the school better. We can participate in the various opportunities our school provides us like competitions, workshops, etc . We can even do small gestures like a “Good morning” to your Teachers, or even a small “Hi” to your friends to boost the sense of belonging to our school.

3. What changes would make you feel more at home in our school?

-Adding more Inter-Class competitions and Level Engagement sessions might help us increase our bond with our class and make it feel more at home in our school.

-Adding Lifts might make it more convenient for teachers/Injured students to traverse up and down from their classrooms.

-Adding Air-conditioners might increase the comfort of the students during lesson time and also allows them to cool down after recess or PE. With our current Singapore weather, Air-conditioner will also help to regulate the temperature for the students to be more comfortable during their lessons.

-Adding Lockers would greatly help to decrease the weight of our bags as we can keep our stuff which we do not need at home. This would also take away the risk of students forgetting their books at home by leaving it in their lockers beforehand.

4. What differences will these suggestion(s) make for our school?

These suggestions will increase the convenience and the comfort in the school making it more accessible and welcoming to new students.
