Dear cadets who signed up for the Cambodia Trip,

Follow-up of the Water Ambassador Badge Project

Dear Sec 1 and 2 students who attended the water ambassador badge course in June, the post course project you need to pass will be the water advocate project. To do so, there are three options:

Option 1 - Singapore World Water Day Activities

Students are to work in teams to design a campaign or activity to commemorate and celebrate Singapore World Water Day in schools or various locations around Singapore.  Information on the event will be provided by PUB via St John HQ (CPB Committee).

The campaign, programme or activity reaches out to the community.  Activities can include writing a water pledge or raising awareness on the importance of water conservation and sharing of water saving tips.  For ideas, visit: http://www.singaporeworldwaterday.com/

At the end of the event, students will submit a group reflection (with photographs) on the activities conducted.

Option 2 - Service Learning  for Community Outreach

In a small group of not more than 4, conduct an outreach programme for participants to educate them about saving water.

The participants can be from the following groups of people:

- fellow students from the school (not from St John)

- primary school students (min. 20 students)

- family members / relatives

- community / religious groups

- charity beneficiaries

At the end of the activity, students will submit a group reflection (with photographs) on the activities conducted.

Option 3 - Be a Water Educator

The trail can be conducted for the following groups of people:

- fellow students from the school (not from St John)

- primary school students (min. 20 students)

Conduct the walk and create the worksheets for this activity.  The worksheet should cover the following:

At the end of the activity, students will submit a group reflection (with photographs) on the activities conducted.
