Community Involvement
 

At National Junior College, we do more than just developing the academic capabilities of our students. Through our Community Involvement Programme, we cultivate the hearts and minds of both staff and students. We believe in the philosophy that active participation in community service activities would develop a sense of social responsibility, compassion and empathy. Our College actively promotes community service so that our students will become responsible future leaders who serve not only with passion but also with sensitivity. In terms of developing a deeper sense of contribution to the community, some of the projects involved a Service Learning component which requires greater reflection and involvement on the part of the student.

All our students are encouraged to seek out and take ownership of meaningful and enriching community service projects throughout their stay with the college and beyond. Besides students’ self-initiated projects, some of the regular projects and activities that form part of our Community Involvement Programme include:

 
Overseas Community Service to the Maldives

Our College College has a sustained commitment to Kudafari, Maldives. Annually, in collaboration
with PAYM, Ministry of Atolls Administration and United Nations Development Programme, around
thirty-five of our students will spend ten days in the Maldives contributing to the local community. Through interaction and cultural exchanges with the locals, our students get to gain a deeper understanding of the social and economic environment beyond Singapore. Activities carried out include construction / renovation of buildings, teaching at a local school and a healthy football competition with the local children at the end of the day.

 
Community Service Day
Since 1998, a special date is set aside in the College calendar for a College-wide Community Service Day, where charitable organisations are invited to our College for a day of fun and performances. Both our staff and students get to look after the young or elderly, joining them in karaoke, games or simple story-telling sessions.
 
Service Learning Projects with our Partners
Besides our College’s own Community Involvement Projects, we also support participation in projects initiated by our partners. For example, the PAACT initiated International Service Learning Project to Myanmar and Youth Expedition Projects to remote areas in Sarawak, Thailand and Cambodia.
 
Interact Club
Interact Club is the student organisation that helps to look after and coordinate many of the College’s community service projects. Club members proactively seek out new projects and garner support from the student body to support them.
