YoungXHush is a service strand CAS that is aimed at raising awareness for the deaf community and also improving the well-being of students and staff in SJI . Having close association with the hard of hearing association Hush TeaBar , activities are planned to allow members to learn more about the deaf community and contribute in their own ways . Such activities include sign language lessons for members of the CAS , where volunteers initiate self-directed lessons to learn a few basic phrases and words .
In a collaborative event organised in June , YoungXHush taught basic phrases to other youths in Singapore Sign Language . This event also allowed both YoungXHush members and the youths to reflect on the possible
challenges and difficulties faced by the hard of hearing community , and how their contributions could make a difference .
In September , YoungXHush organised a letter-writing event to show appreciation for non-teaching staff members in SJI , including security guards , cleaners , and canteen vendors . These letters along with goody bags were presented to non-teaching staff on SJI ’ s Staff Wellness Day .
With 2024 being its final year , YoungXHush is honoured and grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve the school and the deaf community in Singapore .
