Special time , too , was allocated for the JC1 students to consolidate all that they had learnt and experienced with their Tutorial Groups in Peer Support Sessions . The Nightwalk was a time of serene and meaningful reflection of their growth during Orientation , as well as a sharing of their hopes and dreams for the upcoming two years .
