National Youth Business Challenge

The YEGs took part in the National Youth Business Challenge on the 22nd March. This event took place on a Sunday at Compasspoint.




















This is the team, Flower Power which took part in the competition. Their teacher advisor is Mrs Audrey Koh.




The YEGs took the opportunity to educate the public on the need to recycle, reuse and reduce through the distribution of posters on recycling that were obtained from NEA.




Through this method, the public learnt about the importance of the 3Rs in our life.




















A group of Sec 2 YEGs were there to provide support for the team. They were from class 2A. Thank you Jordan, Sheng Jie, Yoo Chen, Brendan, Ji Kang, Jiaqing, Kee Pin , Naomi and Jia Xin for sacrificing your holiday to help.




Ophelia gave a great presentation to the judges.











The judges were impressed with the public speaking skills of Marcus. The team won the most enthusiastic award for this competition.




Because our main aim was not to win the competition but to educate the public about eco living, we took this opportunity to raise funds for ACRES too. Here Jia Xin found a great way to promote the ACRES badges

Reflection question: Seeing the BIG PICTURE.


1. One of the mission of the YEG is "No Reward, No Award. No CCA points, No CIP hours." Since you do not get any reward for doing YEG work, why do you still continue to work for the environment?

2. Which do you think is more important, winning the competition or educating the public on the need to save the environment?

3. Describe one lesson you have learnt by participating in this event.
