"It's a very fun and enriching experience! The trip to the children's home was particularly unforgettable!"
- Ashley, Secondary 2 student from PHSS
"I have learnt quite a few new techniques which are useful in sparring!"
- Darius, Secondary 3 student from PHSS
And these are just some of the feedback given to the teachers by the fellow students of PHSS.
Last month, on the 10th - 15th of June, our fellow members from Pei Hwa Secondary School visited Vietnam for an overseas Learning Journey. The team was led by Ms Ong and Ms Hu, assisted by our club Founder Master Darran Lee and 3 other coaches.
Through out the trip, the team got to learn about the history of Vietnam, train with world renowned players for Poomsae and Kyorugi, as well as returning back to the society in the VIA @ Children's home.
The team was very excited and looking forward to their training with the National Poomsae squad players, who were the world champion for 3
consecutive years!
One of our assistant coach, Ms Che Shi Min even got to perform the whole set of competition Poomsaes with the world champions!
Other than Poomsae, the team also got to train Kyorugi with Than Chau taekwondo club, who are the youth champions of Vietnam. Their chief instructor, Mr Tran Minh Nghia, is also the chief coach for Go Vap district Youth team!
On the second last day of the trip, the team went to the Ky Quang II children's home for VIA. It was an unforgettable experience for most of the students as they enjoyed carrying out the activities with the kids.
We hope that everyone will strive hard to be like our fellow members from PHSS, who excelled in all aspect of taekwondo, as well as community involvement. They truly fulfilled their student outcomes of being a Scholar, Leader and Altruist!
* We would like to thank all parents, friends and family members who contributed generously for the children. Your contributions will certainly aid the children's home and bring joy to them! THANK YOU!
