CHAPTER 3
TABA DAY
Embarking on a new journey in upper secondary , Year 3 Josephians discovered the importance of community and being a person for others at TABA — Together and by Association . During this two-day programme held on 3 and 4 January , the boys learnt about their own calling to be servant leaders and the importance of class community . They began with a class envisioning exercise through which facilitators guided the boys on the importance of working together as a class . The students analysed their own strengths and personality profiles through the DISC assessment which in turn contributed to classroom discussions about how each of them was called to be active contributors to recognising the vision and goals of their class .
The second half of the TABA programme sent the students on a trip to East Coast Park for a morning of sandcastle building . Students were guided in designing and constructing these sandcastles which resulted in a time of fun , laughter and camaraderie while not forgetting the important skills of working together as a community .
The TABA programme aims to prepare the boys for the challenges ahead and to remind them of the Lasallian charisms of being in association with one another and with the last , the lost and the least . TABA concluded with a Paraliturgy conducted by the Form Tutors where this message from the Founder St John Baptist De Lasalle was reiterated and contemplated upon .
