During the March holidays, the Aptitude Buddy Club at ITE West held a Cooking Interest Group session!🥘 The students began the session with great enthusiasm as they prepared ingredients for a delicious Korean meal. 🇰🇷 They learned how to cook dishes such as Bibimbap, tofu seaweed soup, and Korean "ban-chan" such as seasoned cucumber and bean sprout side dishes. Simmering with flavour – the students were guided step-by-step in cooking tofu seaweed soup, a comforting and nutritious dish!😋

We asked a few of our graduated youths from Aptitude Central - what were their favourite memories, and key takeaways from their time here in Aptitude!🌟

We believe that every youth - regardless of backgrounds - has their own potential for growth, and our heart in Aptitude is to be able to engage, enrich and empower youths to reach their potential! 🏆

In October, it was a month of learning, sharing, and making a difference for our students at Aptitude Central! 🌟 Our students took what they learned in their Skills Workshops and put it into action with Project Aptitude, a service-learning initiative that brought joy and movement to the seniors at TOUCHPOINT@433.

With a theme of mobility, the students planned fun, interactive activities to encourage the seniors to stay active, while fostering meaningful connections. There was laughter, smiles, and plenty of positive energy throughout the day—and the seniors loved it so much, they’re already asking when the youths will return! 🙌

The theme of ‘You CAN make a difference’ truly came to life as the students stepped out of their comfort zones, bringing their unique strengths to the table and creating lasting impact. This was more than just an event—it was a testament to the power of community and the difference we can all make. 💫

Throwback to September where it marks the month of Skills Workshop at Aptitude Central once again! This time round, our Year 1 students picked up multiple new skills – from learning how to paint and play their very own ukuleles to learning more about functional fitness and even picking up essential outdoor survival skills! The bright smiles on their faces sure do signify a holiday well spent indeed! ✨

Last month, Aptitude Buddy Club @ ITE West conducted our bonding day doing kite flying over at Marina Barrage! 😊 Before the kite flying the students were given some time to customize their own kite, by drawing or painting on the kite they chose 🎨 The students were also given some time to get some snacks and drinks along with them to Marina Barrage to picnic while flying the kite. The staff together with the students took a 4km walk from Stadium MRT station to Marina Barrage. The bonding day ended with a picnic and kite flying time over at Marina Barrage!🪁

Similar to ITE West, our students in Aptitude Buddy Club over at ITE East had their own series of 4 Interest Group (IG) sessions too! Leadership & Adventure, Mobile Photography, along with 2 new sessions - Baking and Fitness!

Through our Baking session, students gained insights into the F&B industry and were taught to make their own sweet treats - Oreo Truffles and Rainbow Rice Krispies! 🍫🧑‍🍳

For Leadership & Adventure, our students’ teamwork, communication skills and navigation skills were put to the test as they overcame various team-based challenges over the 2 - Day session. 🧭🙌🏻

At our Fitness session, it was a battle of strength, coordination and flexibility as our students learnt basic stretches and home workouts, while also understanding the importance of a balanced diet. 🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️

With Mobile Photography, our students’ creativity was unleashed as they carried out their own photoshoots following different composition guidelines and submitted their best shots for a winning prize. 📷🏆

Thank YOU to all students who joined us for the sessions, and our vendors for creating such a great experience for everyone!

Cya in Sept for Level 2 🎉
