The flagship event under the Keppel-APSN partnership was held on 28 Nov 2010, in conjunction with the Keppel Games 2010-Keppel Sports Meet at Raffles Institution. The event saw the involvement of APSN clients coming together with Keppel Volunteers in a friendly telematch, to raise funds for the Association.
Washing cars have never been so fun and meaningful for a group of volunteers from Bedok South Secondary School and Siglap CC Youth Executive Committee who came together to do their part for a good cause on 22 Jan 2011 through a Charity Car Wash organized by Siglap Youth Executive Committee.
The event was graced by Mr Abdullah Tarmugi, Speaker of Parliament, Adviser for East Coast GRC. The event raised $3680 in aid of the new Delta Senior School building fund.

Daegu University Visit
On 26 January 2011, a delegation from the South Korean Graduate School of Special Education, Daegu University, visited APSN’s Tanglin school, and was given a tour of the school’s facilities.
APSN President Dr Francis C. Chen, Executive Director Dr Chey Chor Khoon, former board member Mr M.K. Wong and his wife Joan, Tanglin School Principal Ms Liza Ow welcomed the delegation, which consisted of Professor Il-Jae Seong, and postgraduate students, all of whom were also special needs teachers.
Dr Chen presented Prof Seong with a framed piece of aluminum tooling art --- the proud work of a student from Tanglin School.
Dr Chey gave the faculty members an insight into APSN’s vision and mission, while Ms Liza Ow followed on with an explanation of Tanglin School’s achievements and role in APSN’s mission.
The visiting faculty was enthusiastic and forthcoming with their questions about the students’ activities in the schools. Their questions reflected a curiosity about the day-to-day running of the school and organisation.
Ms Ow, along with staff of Tanglin School, then gave the Korean delegation a tour of the school’s facilities and classes, which

The Korean visitors were then treated to a buffet lunch, which concluded with a speech by Professor Seong, mentioning how impressed he was with the achievements and work done by APSN and Tanglin School. He felt that the working relationship between Daegu University and APSN had been strengthened. A Memorandum of Understanding was also signed.

“Clay Art Project by Katong Students & HSA”
APSN Internal Audit by NTU Team
On 15 Feburary 2011, CEO of Health Sciences Authority Dr John Lim, unveiled an art project jointly collaborated with APSN Katong students, along with 37 volunteers from HSA. The event’s centerpiece, made up of 40 art pieces, is showcased on a wall at APSN’s Katong School, at 900 New Upper Changi Road.
The Katong School students put up a multi-cultural performance, which included a dance segment, and a Guzheng orchestral piece.
“We welcome all corporate organisations to be involved with the work of APSN. Through diverse ways, they help advance the welfare of our students and clients. ”stated Dr Francis C. Chen, President of APSN.
“The students appreciate being one-on-one with the clay and having the opportunity to build something on their own,” said Mrs Choo Swee Gek, Katong School’s Principal. “It is heart-warming to see the volunteers encouraging the students to persevere and complete their creative expressions.”
HSA’s volunteers have raised $2640 for the school, through the adoption of individual tile art pieces, as part of their CSR efforts. The project was a showcase of the students’ creative talents with clay art. It strengthened the APSN’s strong bond with the community.

In pursuit of a robust governance structure, APSN embarked on an internal audit and review exercise some five years ago. Apart from the periodic reviews of organisational structure and policies conducted by consultants through NCSS (SSTI), APSN also invited three groups to conduct an internal audit review of APSN. We had one done by Bain & Co; another by the Hay Group. More recently we had a team under the direction of NTU Assoc. Prof Lim Joo Boon and eight final year Accountancy students conduct a “Risk
Assessment Project of APSN”. The findings were presented to the Executive Committee on 10 Feb 2011. There were common threads running through all three reports. The latest findings will be further analysed to see what strategic risk-areas of APSN activities need improvement. In general, however, APSN is found to be in order in terms of compliance to the Charity Council’s guidelines.

Centre For Adults
A Pool of Trainees, A Pool of Fish
This New Year, visitors to the Centre For Adults were welcomed by the sight of a freshly painted fish pond sitting in front of the main building. Featuring new paint work, the pond was painted by the staff and clients of CFA during the December holidays. It was quite a challenge for them though, with the constant rainfall. Nevertheless, the Blue Ocean inspired motif was completed in time before the holiday ended. The pond was built bite-sized, over time, starting from 2008, by staff of CFA. It is shaped like a fish, and is home to a variety of aquatic life: Koi (Japanese Carp), hundreds of guppies, and a very large fish of unknown species. During rainy days, frogs make themselves at home at the pond, swimming happily with the fish. Some even piggyback their little ones, and perch themselves among the plants in the pond. The pond has also been an experience for the trainees of CFA, who learn how to tend to the fishes and cleanliness of the pond. It has been routine to a group of boys, feeding the fishes in the morning, clearing fallen leaves, and even washing the water filter system. The fish pond is a great complement to the plants around it. The splashing sound of the water fountain fills the otherwise quiet surrounding of the garden, and provides contrast to the flowers and herbs that give to a colourful and fragrant landscape to CFA.

Walk With MeA group of Best Buddies program participants took the walk of friendship on 27 Feb to kick start the program for 2011. Starting out at Alexandra Arch, the group of 10 CFA members/clients and 6 NUS volunteers covered the 4.5 km walk, learning about the flora and fauna along the way until they completed the walk at the end of Marang Trail. Each year, Centre for Adults runs the Best Buddies program with National University of Singapore Community Service Club. The club encourages friendship and interaction among NUS undergraduates and persons with intellectual disabilities.

HONEY, I SHRUNK THE GARDEN! Moss. The first thing that comes to peoples’ mind is often, “eww”... It is often underrated and underestimated. There are lots of uses for it. Here’s an example: you have a situation where you can’t grow any plants, not even grass. Perhaps the site is too shady or the soil’s too acidic. You can consider creating an entire landscape of moss. Yes. Moss. It can be very beautiful and therapeutic, You might just love its texture! If you have a big garden, all you need is to take moss with its velvet covering, a few rocks or stones, and flowing water. Voila! You’ve created a rustic fantasy plot. What we have done here is to combine our potted herbs plant and the fantasy garden concept into one. With a whisper of the magical word and many steps in preparing ingredients for the pot, POOF, you get this. And then what I like to do is to sit in this mini garden where it’s cool and moist. That’s the key here. You have to create an environment for the moss to grow. Of course, the herb plants thrive in a semi shaded environment, so that the plot is not just for aesthetic purpose, but it also provides the chef in you to clip off some herbs for cooking!Now, come buy a pot!

Have you ever wondered what to do with your used items that are still in good working condition? CFA Recycling/Thrift Shop not only puts your recycled items into good use, we also help save the Mother Earth. Recently, three nearby condominiums participated with CFA Recycling/Thrift Shop to help out with the recycling collection. On 18th December 2010, the resident committee of The Florida organized a Recycling cum Christmas Event. The committee allocated a corner for recycling donated items and the residents were forthcoming with their donations. The Second recycling collection, Make a Difference @ Chuan Park, was organized by Mr. Chan Chee Keong, Vice President of APSN and Chairman of APSN Centre for Adults on 15th January 2011. On the actual collection day, Mr. Chan and Mr. William Tng, CFA Head, led the staff and clients on a visit to the residents, and helped to carry the donated items down to the lobby of the condominium. The response was so overwhelming that the recycling truck had to make another trip down to Chuan Park again on a later date.
The last collaboration was with Helping Hands @ Haig Court on 16th January 2011. Teen Yen, a resident from Haig Court, helped the Recycling/Thrift Shop team set up a collection corner to raise awareness about CFA’s efforts to the residents, while Joseph went the extra mile to go to his friends’ houses to collect items for recycling.
If you have items that are usable and still in good working condition, or if you wish to organize a collection in your estate, drop us a call @ 63462425.

the essence of team, of group dynamics and of leadership, the training has put us in a better position to tackle the future challenges. At the organizational level, we learned that engaging the “Head, Heart & Hand” of staff is essential to establishing an environment in which all team members can work and live harmoniously as high performing teams. Teams and high performance are inseparable. It is crucial to engage the staff in clearer thinking by: setting clarity of goal and communication (Head), connecting staff to our core values by inspiring them to commit and contribute to the profession (Heart), and galvanizing staff to take collective action by optimizing opportunities for them to contribute to achieving the school goals (Hand).
The 2-day staff retreat was both enlightening and truly meaningful.

“Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.” Andrew Carnegie Known for being insightful yet simple, witty yet packing a punch, Dr Andrew Goh- an international speaker and author- inspires us and heightens our awareness on how individual staff could self-lead and optimise team performance by simply being aware of self and others. The 2-day inspiring learning journey began on 29 December 2010 for all staff of DSS at Pulai Springs Resort, Johor. Through dynamic interactive exercises and DISC profiling, we experienced the four basic behavioural styles of DISC. We engaged in the ‘Roller Coaster’ team building activity, and had the opportunity to spot colleagues with different styles, and witnessed how each of us adapted our behaviours to improve individual and team performance. Fun, powerful, and immediately applicable in the workplace, the insights from the exercise generated a greater self-awareness of our individual attributes that underlie the motivation for our behaviour. It also provided us with useful knowledge about our colleagues distinct work styles. Through understanding

in educating and developing students with special needs. The award was presented to Miss Soh Mee Choo, our Principal during the 4th MOE-NCSS Special Education (SPED) Awards Ceremony.
The award recognizes the work of DSS in turning problems into opportunities. Driven by constraint of space in the school, DSS took an innovative step by tapping on Indus Moral Home and the community to support students in their learning since 2005.
The community-based vocational training for our students has helped many to gain eventual employment.

We have also initiated various models of collaboration with our employers:
Swensen’s Singapore’s Continuous Education Training programme has provided our students with certification in four WSQ F&B modules: Interact with Guests, Prepare for Service, Perform Hosting Duties and Process Payment. They have also enabled 7

students to complete 7 modules and obtain full WSQ Certificates in F&B Service.
Pizza Hut, our Ambassador, has strategically worked out an Action Plan with us to realize the vision we share. We are very confident that it is going to be another breakthrough!
Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Center (HISOCC), has allowed us to use its hotel rooms to conduct WSQ assessment thus enhancing the authenticity and quality of the assessment. It also awarded Idwan Bin Abu Shama, a final year student who is currently working there, a scholarship worth $2000 for further training and development.
Zerospot’s Child-Parent employment Model has enabled more students to secure employment. The learning and confidence derived through the employment model here has paved the way for it to be replicated in Joan Bowen soon.
Plantz Singapore has worked successfully with us and consistently pushes for equal opportunity for our students. Three students have been employed and they are the highest paid among the 90 students, who are on open-employment.
Without doubt, DSS’ collaborative efforts with employers will heighten even further with time to claim its position as the most visionary and purpose-driven community of excellence for person-centered transition.
Sheela Devi V. Kannusamy, Teacher, Delta Senior School
It is heartwarming how much our external stakeholders are willing to share the DSS’ vision through real actions to become truly a community of excellence.
Active collaboration with employers has allowed for about 90 students to be placed on open employment in 2010. Some are trained to be mentors or even assume supervisory roles. Out of 43 students who graduated in 2010, 41 of them are now gainfully employed.

In recent years, the use of computers has grown more diversified as educators recognize the potential of learning with information technology as a means to enhancing students’ reasoning and problem-solving abilities. It was evident that the current generation of young people should possess digital competencies to effectively navigate the multidimensional and fast-paced digital environment to stay relevant. The I.T Apprenticeship Programme (ITAP) @TS focuses on bridging the gap between the use of information technology, and how I.T. skills would enable students with special needs to be gainfully employed.
The ITAP develops each student’s competency and portfolio through a modular work training curriculum. To gain entry into the ITAP programme, the student is required to pass an assessment test on basic typing and word-processing skills as well as knowledge of spreadsheet management.
A flexible training plan was developed to allow students to pace their learning according to their performance. The first batch of 7 students from the Transition Programme started their ITAP journey, 8 hours a week, since 11 January 2011 at Infocomm Accessibility Centre. Through ITAP, these students have become more independent, confident and have shown significant improvement in other subject areas.
Understanding the impact of information technology that makes up our high-tech reality, and developing the skills to use I.T effectively, will help us act as enablers to support and challenge students to think differently and creatively.

Celebrating Excellence and Achievements @TSMrs Liza Ow, Principal, Tanglin School
The MOE-NCSS Innovation Award is the highest accolade for recognizing outstanding innovations that promote students’ learning and contribute to a culture of excellence in SPED schools. For the second consecutive year, the Innovation Award was
conferred on Tanglin School, for her Choose Green, Think Green, Grow Green (CTGG) initiatives. CTGG is a school-wide, inter-disciplinary project with the primary objective of involving all students in activities that would increase their awareness of how various factors could influence and affect environmental change at the school, national and global levels. The efforts have enhanced the students’ capacities to become civic minded thinkers and responsible citizens.

Tanglin Rockafellas was formed in 2010 through an incidental discovery of students’ musical talents - strong rhythmic ability as well as good voices. With deep passion for music and singing, the students mastered the art of playing the guitar, drums, keyboard and other percussion instruments. Within a few months, they were ready to showcase their new-found talents. The mission of the Rockafellas is to bring live music, singing, joy and laughter to others with their voices and music. Rockafellas, in collaboration with Volunteer Guitar Connection, have been reaching out to the community by teaching guitar playing to children of different welfare organizations. They taught beneficiaries from Sunbeam Place of Singapore Children’s Society and Ahuva Good Shepherd of Marymount Centre to play the guitar. The Rockafellas have performed on various occasions, both for and beyond school events. They’ve performed at charity events for the Children’s Aid Society as well as the Starlight Club at Toa Payoh Central Community Club. They’ve also brought joy to the residents at All Saints Home, strumming and singing to the

More Groups visit Centre for Adults
20th Asian Conference on Intellectual Disabilities
In recent times APSN has had visits from a number of overseas groups; as special schools are all very similar, they chose to visit our Centre for Adults, which run programmes for the technical and vocational training of our older clients.
On 28 October 2010, a group of 22 visitors from the Gwang-ju Federation of Organisations for the Differently Abled visited the APSN Centre for Adults.. They were mostly physically disabled persons, some in wheel-chairs. Officials and members from
this Federation would make an overseas visit every year to an established nationally accredited organisation to exchange views on a bilateral basis. Through such visits and observations the visiting delegation may then recommend to their respective organisations what new activities to introduce into their own organisations.
Similarly, a group of 12 members and officials from the Hong Kong Joint Council of Parents for the Mentally Handicapped visited the Centre for Adults
on 24 November 2010. One intellectually disabled youth was accompanied by his parents.The visitors were impressed with the range of training programmes we have for our trainees, especially in the areas of hospitality and horticulture. The five green houses we have with local vegetables being grown in them was a big draw. They found the very open and spacious surroundings with lovely greenery a big change from similar facilities they have visited in Hong Kong.

Chaoyang School Graduation and Award Presentation Ceremony 2010The 2010 Chaoyang School Graduation Ceremony had added significance: the inaugural School-based Awards were being presented. The Functional Academics Award (FAA) and Good Progress Award (GPA) were presented to outstanding pupils for their exceptional performance in literacy and numeracy. Beyond academic excellence, the Student Talent, Achievement and Recognition (STAR) Award was presented to pupils in recognition of their outstanding performance the school in non-academic areas such as CCA.
Presenting the awards to the pupils was the Guest-of-Honour, Mrs Pek Kwee Lan, Assistant Director of Special Education Branch, Ministry of Education. These awards will certainly not only make the pupils work harder
but it would help the staff ensure that their pupils are challenged to go beyond their comfort zone to achieve their fullest potential.
In addition to the awards presentation, the ceremony also marked the graduation and the milestones reached by the level 6 pupils in having successfully completed their primary education.
The concert performances with items by the school choir of evergreen songs, energetic and vibrant dances by the hip-hop and Indian dance troupes, readers’ theatre, and an angklung recital by the level 6 graduates entertained and wowed the audience. These performances marked the culmination of the pupils’ learning of Performing Arts for the entire year. Parents and guests were also treated
to a comprehensive exhibition featuring the pupils’ works and achievements from the many programmes that the different school departments run throughout the year.
The Guest-of-Honor, Mrs Pek, was pleasantly surprised after being told that the exhibits on display were the work of the pupils and teachers who spent their time after school decorating and conceptualizing their display boards. Hats off to the Chaoyang pupils and teachers for making the day a great success and for showcasing the fact that our pupils and staff have multi-faceted talents waiting to be explored and polished!

THE SHINING STARS Of CYSMr. Patrick Aw became the third teacher in Chaoyang School to be accorded the prestigious title of MOE-NCSS SPED teacher award – Outstanding Special Teacher Award (OSTA) 2010 for his contribution towards the education of children with special needs.
As an experienced teacher, Mr Aw is knowledgeable about the different pedagogical approaches to effective teaching especially with the use of Information, Communication, and Technology (ICT). He has revolutionized the way pupils learn in Chaoyang by initiating the school-wide implementation of Smartboard and e-book learning. This had allowed the students to continuously explore new technologies, reinforcing literacy skills in ICT to maximize learning. His classroom is always open for anyone who wants to observe his IWB integrated lessons of numeracy, literacy as well as SEL (PATHS). Chaoyang is indeed privileged to have committed teachers like Mr. Aw who is always looking for ways to make a
difference to the pupils’ learning.
Two of our previous MOE-NCSS SPED teachers – OSTA winners; Mrs. Anita Suwandi and Ms. Chui Kit May also made an impact at the SPED Learning Day on 12 November 2010 which preceded the OSTA Award ceremony. The
two experienced teachers were invited to represent Chaoyang School to share on P.A.TH.S (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) to S.E.L (Social Emotional Learning). Their presentations were enlivened with games, quizzes, songs and video clips of pupils and teachers. Our Canteen Project “Daily Digest”, which was a
collaboration between Chaoyang School teachers and URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) was also a finalist for the MOE/NCSS Innovation Award. This project not only enhanced the look of our school canteen but it also made learning of literacy, numeracy and life skills possible in a casual and fun way.
The school is always looking for ways to enhance the quality of the pupils’ learning and it is our belief that this can and will be achieved with the continued dedication, contribution and achievements of its staff within and beyond the realm and confines of the classroom.
Well done teachers; you are the key ingredient to producing quality pupils as envisioned in the school’s strategic goals.

Chaoyang School’s Annual Staff Retreat 2010“Lights…… Camera….. Action!” said Ms. Director, and the the actors and actresses went on to play their respective roles.
One would think that this scene was a scenario out of a Mediacorp Studio production. But Lo and Behold! It was actually a scene that took place at Rasa Sentosa Resort Hotel during Chaoyang’s School’s Annual Staff Retreat from 28th November to 29th November 2010.
For the first time, the office and MSU staff were also present in this staff cohesive and bonding programme. For them, the event was an eye-opener,joining the teachers in planning our programmes to build up quality staff, pupils and partnerships through its key strategic goals.
Chaoyang had developed a comprehensive Performing Arts Curriculum for its pupils. School Principal Mrs. Low Siew Ting thought that it would be a refreshing idea for the staff to share their ideas and plans for 2011’s school and department programmes; as well as the Performing Arts Curriculum ( PA) instead of the often-used lecture-style PowerPoint slides.
The school also organized a dinner, in which the Staff Wellbeing Committee gave out bird masks. With all their inhibitions hidden under the mask; the staff adjourned to a small but cozy meeting room, where teachers had come together prior to this time to plan a mini performance, acting out the key programmes of the school. Staff
recognition awards went to Mrs. Sulekha Nair for the Outstanding Contribution for Staff Award and the Money Skills Committee for the Outstanding Contribution for Team Award.
Perhaps Ms. Rebecca and Madam Cass Wong, representing the office staff ; summed it best by saying, “We had lots of fun and laughter while at the same time we realized that the school has so many talented staff and teachers who are working so hard to plan and value add to the learning of our pupils !”

Katong School
The Rabbit Hops In To Usher in the Lunar New YearKatong School celebrated the Lunar New Year with great style and pomp to usher in the Year of the Rabbit. The celebration concert was held on 2nd February at the school hall. Many of the concert and fun activities were planned and rehearsed much earlier to ensure that the final presentation would be thoroughly enjoyed by a thrilled audience. As the students settled down to watch the concert, a sudden loud roar got them to direct their curious attention towards the stage. Prancing lions appeared on stage in full regal costume dancing to the tempo of the drum-beat, mesmerizing the students, as they remained glued
to the lions’ deft moves. The moment ushered in the festive feeling among all present. The “Son of Fortune” then made his way amongst the crowd to share his prosperity in the form of ‘Golden Coins”. The students immediately relished on the Golden Coin chocolates. The Best Traditional Costume competition surely captured the students’ joyous mood. Many of the students turned up in their favourite New Year clothes, soaking in the festive atmosphere. Among them Jonathan, Heena Begam and Ariel were chosen as the three best-dressed winners in the competition. Another keenly contested item was the jigsaw puzzle group contest. Groups of students were asked to piece and complete a puzzle of the New Year theme. For the students, the test of their wit and teamwork made it an adrenaline rush. After several mismatched attempts, a winner finally emerged, and the winning puzzle was solved by the “Rabbit” Group, which mirrored the ushering of the Year of the Rabbit. The concert culminated in a New Year feast by all with mandarin oranges, courtesy of Mr Chua, our school transport vendor. Another new year with a new animal zodiac has dawned upon us, as we look ahead with hope of a good year ahead for us. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Mrs Sumathy KalaiTeacherKatong School

Camera, Lights and Action for English
Learning English can be real fun, especially when you are watching a play. Students of Katong School had one such opportunity to experience and learn English, while watching a play organised by the SIA theatre, La Salle. We know that learning is a life-long journey and we celebrated this passion for learning in a fun and exciting way, by watching a play entitled “Momotaro”. While entertaining the students, the play also served to promote English communication skills among them. This was achieved when students saw how feelings were expressed verbally and non-verbally. Students from Level 1 to 4 visited the SIA theatre, LaSalle on 17 September 2010 to watch a thrilling epic of idealism, friendship, heroism, daring deeds, growing up, and comic misadventures. Evolved from a classic Japanese adventure tale, “Momotaro” captivated the students. The play’s theme and the lead roles stimulated our students’ enthusiasm level. They understood values such as hard work, meritocracy, a desire to
excel and being ready to take calculated risks. These qualities will allow our students to triumph through adversity and turn challenges into opportunities. The live action, music and theatre dramatics complemented the expedition’s objective of instilling learning through a memorable experience.Learning journeys have a significant impact on curriculum, especially for English language. Through encouragement, our
students too, make it a point to put into practice what they have learnt. As Anton Chekhov noted, “Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.” The La Salle outing has indeed turned out to be a meaningful and beneficial one for our students to hone their communication skills.

What do fishes and humans have in common, especially when it comes to bonding and rapport-building? Plenty it seems, as experienced by a group of 30 staff members from Katong School. Of course, they were not required to hold their breath underwater or do fishy stunts!
After all, it was all in a day’s work for the Katong staff as they got together on November 2010 and went on an out-of-the-ordinary retreat to a fish farm at Johor Bahru. The team gathered in school at 6:45am for the trip by bus, accompanied by a travel guide who joined us later at JB.
Once at JB, we stopped for breakfast and set out to the marina to hitch a boat ride to the fish farm. As we alighted, one could feel the farm’s atmosphere as the fishy smell soon wafted towards us. We were guided towards one of the ponds and introduced to the famous “Ikan Susu”, also known as the Milk fish.
We then left to try our hands at Batik painting and felt like real masters of the craft but hunger soon got the better of us. We then headed for lunch and also got to relish on some specialty tomato chocolate while at the chocolate gallery.No bonding is complete without shopping and we did just that in the afternoon. Some of us managed to squeeze in some time to relax in a spa while others got to treat themselves to a manicure and pedicure. For dinner, we revisited the fish farm for a sumptuous eight-course dinner. We then relaxed for a while mingling and catching up on small-talk.
As we boarded the bus to leave for home, each of us also received a piece of the Batik ‘masterpiece’ we had earlier crafted. One could sense the closeness amongst colleagues, much like the ‘Ikan Susu’ milling around, causing sensational ripples and outlandish splashes in the water. We felt as one, completely relaxed after an enjoyable escapade! All hands on deck, AHOY!!
Ahoy, Let’s Haul In The Catch Together!

Occupational Therapy Vocational Assessment at Delta Senior School
Vocational assessment is the process of determining an individual’s interests, capabilities, aptitudes, and skills- to identify strengths, needs, and job potential. At APSN, vocational assessment has been a key area of Occupational Therapy services. At Delta Senior School (DSS), in collaboration with the Psychologists, the Occupational Therapists conduct assessment for all in-coming first year students as well as students placed at different work sites and training areas.For vocational assessment, the Occupational Therapists use a variety of informal and formal methods of assessment. Informal methods include conducting an interview with the student, assessment of physical strength, and observation of the student’s work performance. More formalized methods include the Jamar Hand Evaluation Tool Kit and the Purdue Peg Board. Jamal Hand Evaluation Tool Kit has a dynamometer and pinch gauge to measure grip and pinch strength. The Purdue Peg Board assesses movements of hands, fingers and arms. By assessing these movements, the Occupational Therapist is able to determine the person’s ability to reach, grasp, pick up and manipulate objects with his fingers during a task. Another formal tool used is the Valpar Multi-Level Sorting Component Work Sample #7 (VCWS -7). VCWS-7 assesses one’s ability to make rapid sorting and decisions involving several levels of visual discrimination
Examples of Formal Assessment Methods:

of colors, numbers, letters and a combination of these. This test also helps the Occupational Therapist to gain insight into the person’s ability to make decisions quickly, his communication skills, concentration, and frustration tolerance. Overall, the main aim of the Occupational Therapy vocational assessment is to help identify abilities and strengths that may guide the student in the type of relevant training and consequent work placement most suited for him. In some cases, the results of such assessment helps to provide recommendations for the use of assistive device/s and/or accommodations to further support the student’s work placement to ensure its success.

J o u r n a l Entry- 6 November 2010
On Saturday, 6 November 2010, there was a Children’s Charities Association Annual Fair and Walkathon. The event was at NGEE ANN City
civic plaza. It was from 10am to 6 pm. There were many stalls selling many things.
Some parents and friends from Delta Senior School set up stalls at the fair. They are Jian Ning’s mother and brother, Shi Yan with her mother, Dionne with her mother, Shu Yi with her mother and
siblings. My mother and I came to help to sell too! I even saw Tanglin School, Katong School and Chao Yang School’s stalls. Many people came for the fair. I saw many of my former school teachers.
My mother and I have two stalls. At one stall, we were selling food items like cream puffs and Mochi. At the other stall, we were selling items like bags, purse, bookmarks, hand phones accessories and memo holders.
There were performances and game stalls at the fair too. During our break, my mother and I went to those game stalls for games and we enjoyed it. I also saw children enjoying themselves on the pony rides.
After a fulfilling day, l went home to rest. Although I felt tired, I was happy to be able to help out at this charity event.

My name is Muhd
Nur Syakir.
I am 13 years old. I am in Tanglin School. During my free time I like to play soccer and badminton
with my friends. I like to eat nasi lemak and lontong. I dislike people who fight. When I grow up, I want to be a policeman because I want to protect my neighbourhood. I must learn the skills to be a good policeman. I need to keep myself fit and healthy. I must be brave and alert. I wish my dream will come true.

A Trip to Chinatown
Last Monday, we took a MRT train from Red hill to Outram Park station. Then we switched to North-east
Line to alight at Chinatown. I went there with my classmates and two teachers.
I saw beautiful New Year decorations. There were also delicious New Year goodies and clothes sold there. The place was crowded and it was a hot day. Some visitors and tourists bought souvenirs such as photo-frames to bring home so that they could remember Singapore.
At Chinatown Heritage Centre we learned about the past of the Chinese immigrants the people gambled and smoked opium. The people in the household used abacus, teapot and hot flask during old days. The toilet and kitchen were shared. Each family member shared a room.
We spent three hours in Chinatown. I went home at 7.18pm. I felt excited about the trip.

from Tanglin School to
Delta Senior SchoolMy previous school was Tanglin School. When I was in
Tanglin, I went for many courses like Maintaining professional image and Interact with customers. I had the chance to learn
pastry, baking and hospitality skills at Shatec. Other than those, I also learnt how to fix the wire and air-con and had the opportunity to do
technical work in Sentosa. I received many certificates for all the trainings and courses I have participated in at Tanglin School. I felt very sad when I left Tanglin School because I miss my old teachers and friends.
When I come to my new school, Delta Senior School, I have learnt many things about Hospitality Services (HS). In HS, I learnt about Work Safety and how to set up the trolley, wipe the stain, sweep the floor, clean hard floor and mopping. I was also taught on how to save the Earth by practising the 3Rs – Reuse, Reduce and Recycle during Literacy lessons. As for my Numeracy
lessons, I learnt percentages, fractions and finding median number.
I really like the culture of DSS.
