Broadway Buddies program
Description:
It is a student development program in which senior form students serving as mentors provide guidance to junior form students through participation in various activities.
Objectives:
For senior form students, they are expected to develop leadership by taking care of S.1 students. They could also develop empathic character through providing help to others. Further, as a leader they could also gain recognition from others and thus boost up their self-esteem and self-confidence.
For junior form students, with the help of the senior students, they are expected to have a better adaptation to the new study environment. Meanwhile, they could experience the feeling of being loved and taken care of. With the support of others when they are in adversity, stronger resilience can be formed.
Though contribution to the school and society and love from others, participants are expected to develop stronger sense of belonging towards the school and the society. The atmosphere with “love and care” can also be created.
