Announcement for Talk: Your Life Story


How are you going to write yours?


Dear all,

There's a talk on next Thursday (4th February), 5-6pm.
Title: Your Life Story: How to plan yours?
(Personal Development talk)
Venue: To be confirmed


What is life story?

Everyone has a life story. The story began when you were still a baby.



Your parents played important roles in helping to shape your life story when you were young.

When you get older, your siblings (brothers and sisters) and friends became more important to you. Directly / indirectly, your life may be affected by them.

Now, you're in college. You seem to have more controls over your life. What's next? How are you going to shape your life story?


Join the talk to explore more about yourself.

Welcome back. What's new?

Hey, guys!

Welcome back, guys. For all the new students, welcome to your first year in college.

For this new semester, I designed a new career profile to aid you in your career path.


Some of you may wonder why, since it's still early for you to think about what you will do after you graduate. After filling in your career profile, we will meet up for a short session (around 30 minutes) to explain to you about your strengths and your weaknesses, and how you could improve to achieve your career goals.

This will also help us to get some feedback from you, in order for us to offer the suitable workshops and seminars for your professional and personal development. It's F.O.C. (You could find some similar career tests on jobstreet and other websites, but they will charge you for the report and analysis.)


(2) Our Counseling Journey: Newsletter

Now, you can grab a copy of Our Counseling Journey Newsletter at the front desk or library.

(3) Group Therapy

Sign up for the group therapy for a psychological self-exploration. It's fun and exciting to share your thoughts and grow together in a safe environment.


First Group: Self-Exploration (starting from 3rd February, 2010)
4.00pm (every Tuesday) - Exploring more about yourself.

2nd Group: Love (starting from 10th February, 2010)
4.00pm (every Thursday) - Relationship? Something sweet, something bitter. It may be a relationship between 2 people, or a relationship with your friends or family. Prepare your mind and learn about how to communicate in a relationship.

-There will be more groups later. If you would like to join a group but the group's time is clashed with your class, please contact Coral to fix a time for your group.

(4) Mentor-Mentee Program



Dept. of Student Services will launch the mentor-mentee program in the campus. Seniors will guide the juniors, and seniors will be guided by our department.

Mentoring is a relationship. "Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be." Eric Parsloe, The Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring.

Basically, mentors will become the 'big-bros' for the mentees. :) There will be a mentor training program coming up soon.
