Giving them an edge in life
IT is important for students to learn how society functions to facilitate earning and development of critical thinking skills, empathy and boost confidence when dealing with problems. SEGi facilitates the exploration of students’ interests through participation in clubs and societies, identification of personal interest and development of social skills.
Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities as well as volunteering for community service projects.
For example, students from SEGi College Penang Students Representative Council (SRC) organised activities to help those affected by the Penang floods.
The project named Helping Hands received a positive response from staffs and students during a two-day fundraising drive.
Student volunteers visited four villages in Seberang Perai and distributed items to families.
With a student population of 25,000, there are always activities including cultural, social, sporting and recreational activities.
Helping Hands is one of hundreds community service projects.
Other projects included social responsibility service programme for Kampung Orang Asli Gurney, Ulu Yam and Children’s Day Celebration for underprivileged pupils of SJK (T) Rri Sungai Buloh.
