School Service '15

School Serve ’15 was a school service project held on the 17th March 2015 (Tuesday) and 19th March 2015 (Thursday). The main objective of this project is to provide an opportunity for the Leo members to make the school a better place to learn. An organising committee consisting of five Leo members was elected. The Leo members were Leo Lee Ee Xuan as the Organising Chairperson, Leo Heng Zi Ming as the Assistant Organising Chairperson, Leo Shweta Eliza Zachariah, Leo Toh Zhiao Wei and Leo Teng Koong Voon as the committee members.

Before the project was executed, several discussions were held within the organising committee on what were the areas that should be improve and beautified in the school. As the school had just renovated the toilets, we decided to put up 'KEEP CLEAN, PLEASE FLUSH' signs in the toilets in order to encourage the students to keep the brand new toilets clean. We also decided to repaint the rusted pillars outside the Kemahiran Hidup (KH) workshop. Materials such as paint and brushes were bought and Leo members were also asked to volunteer to print the toilet signs.

The school service project began with the painting of the rusty pillars at 12.30 p.m. and ended at 1.30 p.m. on 17th March 2015. 7 Leo members were assigned to repaint the pillars. They placed newspapers around the pillars to avoid staining the floor. They were given gloves so that they would not stain their hands with the paint. As the pillars were very tall, one of them had to climb up the ladder to paint the upper parts of the pillars. The painting ended at around 1.15 p.m.. The Leo members soaked the brushes in thinner and cleared all the newspapers for recycling. Everything was packed before they were dismissed.

On the 19th of March 2015, 6 Leo members were allocated to paste toilet signs in each toilet cubicle for both girls' and boys' toilets. They started with sticking double sided tape at the back of the laminated toilet signs which were printed by the Leos at around 11.00 a.m.. Then, they were divided into a few groups to paste the signs behind every door in the toilets. It only took 15 minutes to finish pasting all the toilet signs around the school toilets.

Overall, all the activities were carried out very well. The Leo members were very cooperative. I think that this project can be further improved if better planning was carried out more efficiently as well as the Leo members can be more proactive and volunteer themselves to help out with the activities.
