Sec 3s' reflection of the LMSC course.

Sec 3s went for the LMSC(Leadership and Mentoring Skills Course) on the 1st and 2nd of June. The course was held at St. Margaret's and it lasted from 8.30am to 5.30pm for both days. After the 2-day course, they wrote down their reflections and handed in to me. I've selected a few reflections to share with all of you....(sorry for all the grammatical mistakes as I did not edit their reflections)

Ying Xue

"In today's session (Day 1), I had learnt more in depth of the method of instruction. It is important to use the correct method to teach our cadests as cadets may not understand fully what we had taught if it use the wrong method. Secondly, I learnt how to communicate effectively. With the correct communication skills, messages can be passed down. Goals are important. If we do not have goal, we will not know where to go. Motivating others and conflict management are important among our cadets. All in all, I felt that today session are quite meaningful and useful when i take squad in one of these day."

"I learnt how to do a proper MOI and how to communicate properly to prevent mis-communication. I also learnt how to do a proper proposal and how to prevent conflicts between my squads or other squads. Overall, the course is okay, but it is too long and the food has a weird taste."

Goal setting is to let us has the target where we are aiming for and let you focus in the thing that you are aiming for. MOI is let us has a idea or methos of instructing our junior cadets. From effective communication, I learn how to speaking infront the squad, and I learn that how to write a letter, proposals, action plan and so on"
