EVENTS | LUMEN
11 characters , who went on a date with students and teachers who were passing by the amphitheatre . Speed Booking certainly brought the characters within the books to life and perhaps even sparked off a genuine interest in or even love for these characters . Mohammad Shafiq Anshad ( Michael 303 ) added : “ I enjoyed Speed Booking the most as it involved the whole TDP ( Talent Development Programme ) English class . Not only did it offer excitement to the participants , it was an important bonding session for the class too .”
Fatigue set in after a week-long of activities and planning , but the Talent English boys came back from a mission , a mission that was successfully completed with results that went beyond expectations . Many teachers were very impressed with the event , given the little time the boys had to prepare it . Our very own principal Dr Koh Thiam Seng had this to say : “ Such studentinitiated projects are indeed what 21st century learning is all about . I certainly hope that amphitheatre is used not only by the language and mother tongue teachers but also by the other subject areas as well .”
