Zest for Life – Second Edition

Zest for Life – Second and Third Edition

Here’s the second edition of our SFMS Zest for Life programme! This time round, our students learnt the importance of cohesion and teamwork through a school-wide activity.

Our High School St Francians were divided into 4 different clusters. They had to work together to discuss how they could quickly meet their objective and move the balls from one location to the final goal. Even our Principal, Mr Lee Hak Boon, joined in the fun and taught the students how they could develop a winning strategy. The students also did the Cup Song which requires coordination and teamwork in order to complete the cup routine.

We hope that our St Francians had fun and at the same time understood how important it is for a team to be united to achieve greater success!

Check out the video on our team cohesion activities!
