Metta School receives the MOE-NCSS INNOVATION AWARD 2020 for Project Starfish; and the MOE-NCSS INNOVATION AWARD – COMMENDATION for Accessing Health Care Services – Visiting Clinic.
Project Starfish promotes a healthy lifestyle in students through a strong partnership between Adapted Physical Education teachers, trainers and parents. The teachers, trainers, students and parents use WhatsApp, a common communication platform, to form group chats to extend learning beyond school into the home. Using the platform, videos of exercise routine to carry out at home were sent to parents and students. Students video oneself doing the exercise routine and send it back to the teachers and trainers for feedback. The close partnership between students, teachers, trainers and parents, has empowered students to adopt and maintain healthier lifestyles!
