Youth Mission
For the past six years, a new core CCA -the CHIJ Youth
Mission - has been introduced.
This core CCA programme, is focused on providing an enabling
environment for girls to recognize and promote the dignity of human
persons especially the disadvantaged.
The girls in this CCA are transformed by the experience of servant
leadership.
Latest update of the IJ
Youth Mission activities are featured in the Sint Unum 2011
issue.
Objectives
Its objectives are:
To integrate faith and service for others into a purposeful
motivation for living
To develop the social, cognitive, emotional and spiritual
well-being of youths
To act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God
All IJ Youth Mission members in the school
are given a chance to work together with four other IJ Schools, CHIJ
St. Nicholas, CHIJ St. Theresa’s, CHIJ St Joseph’s and CHIJ
Katong. The bond, that this CCA shares, is the IJ mission and vision
that belongs to all the IJ schools. Another unifying factor is the
objectives of the programme, as well as the structure of the
meetings, that will provide the training for the development of
spirituality in the students.
Join the IJ Youth Mission to acquire inner strength and to
discover the meaning and purpose in service.
Youth Mission @ CHIJ Secondary Toa Payoh
In 2006, the members embarked on a 5-day
mission trip to Dalat, East Malaysia, and had a chance to share
their faith and God-given talents with a larger community from a
different culture and faith background. The members came back more
enriched and more appreciative of the beauty in reaching out to
others.
In late Oct 2010, 21 Sec 3 students joined
4 Sec 2 Katong Convent students in a mission trip at Siem Reap,
Cambodia.
Youth Mission @ CHIJ Katong Convent
IJYM is a CCA which four other CHIJ schools have
as well. It was formerly known as 'The Young Catholic Movements'. KC
IJYM is not a CCA where people join as a hobby, neither is it a CCA
where people join because they are talented in it. We do volunteer
work to help marginalized societies such as abandoned old folks and
children . We also organize trips to old folks homes and plan
fund-raising activities as well. Once a week we meet up at the chapel
of our school. The whole IJYM community is led by Sherlyn, a member
of Acts 29, a missionary group.
KC helps the less fortunate.
We believe in making a difference in people's lives.
Youth Mission @ CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls School
A leader in every child
At CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School, we believe that
there is a leader in every student. It is the school’s desire and
responsibility to nurture that leader in every girl the moment she
steps in at Secondary 1.
Our aspiration is for every St Nicholas student to
be a leader who demonstrates the values of truth,
justice, freedom, and love, serving the needs of the disadvantaged
and underprivileged (in line with the IJ mission). A
St Nicholas student will exhibit these attributes in the
way she lives, always upholding the school motto, Simple
in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty
Youth Mission @ CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent
As
a sense of community dominates the culture of a Catholic school, the
role of the IJYM is to provide the conditions needed to create
within its members a sense of differentiation between "we"
from "I"
