From the 11 – 21 November 2015, the Sixth Saints
Advocate stayed in SA Hall for an enriching 10-day programme, engaging in various leadership workshops and activities. Through their stay, The Sixth had taken away many beneficial skills and had definitely grown both individually and as a team. Here is an outline of the residential stay:
We started the stay with checking into the cosy hostel rooms, settling into our homes for the next coupe of days.
During the duration of the stay, we had various activities lined up for us. Some of these included
- 2016 Task Force Meetings:
- Operation VO50 Planning and event
- Leadership workshop by Positive Intentions and Intercultural Workshop by Mr Jason Ong
- Walking Trail at Mount Faber
- Last but definitely not the least, we volunteered at Willing hearts, packing over thousands of packets of food for the needy!
Not only did we have to start by cooking the food,
We had to prepare the food prior to cooking them,
Followed by continuous stirring of the pots, where the food was finally being cooked.
Ultimately, the experience was indeed eye opening, and it also tested out resilience as we pushed forward packing seemingly endless amounts of food into Styrofoam boxes.
Through the Service Learning Residential Programme, The Sixth not only got to experience living in
the SA Hall, but they also got to evaluate their Saints Advocate journey, plan
for what’s to come in 2016 and bond as a CCA even more outside the school time.

The residential stay is definitively something that The Sixth will always hold fond memories with as it is one that fostered closer relationships and also bonded the CCA as a whole.
