LUMEN : WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAMME

“ I was attached with Isaac and Josiah to Spectra Secondary School for the Work Experience Programme ( WEP ). The three of us shadowed the teachers and interacted with the students there . Since Spectra is a specialised school , we got to experience Spectra ’ s many vocational programmes like industrial cooking and e-commerce . What is most interesting is that we got to interact with many special needs students and learn more about how to engage them , especially those who have autism . One important thing that I have realised is that Singapore still has many unresolved issues .
At Spectra , we got to meet and interact with people who are struggling with their financial situation , disabilities and other difficult situations , and this has gotten me to rethink what helping the last , the lost and the least means . In truth , I believe that there is still so much good that there is yet to be done in Singapore to help our fellow Singaporeans and I know that we can be the ones to make this happen . It has been a great experience to get to know and meet people from outside our usual social circle and an eye-opener for the three of us . Thank you for having us , Spectra !”
