Patience is needed. We need to have teamwork to finish the tasks given to us. We were given different tasks and roles given by teachers, example, outlining, painting or take the water. We took turns so that we will not be so tiring, we also help one another. I enjoyed painting the wall using the roller most, because it is fun. Although it is very heavy and tiring but interesting and nice.

Loh Soon Hao 2E3

It was fun painting despite the hot weather and tiring work. We definitely need the PICARD values to do a good job in the painting. Teamwork is needed as there is lots of work to be done. I enjoyed the painting part most.

Lee Jia Le 2E3

I had lots of fun time painting and I had learned lots of things about painting. This had also improved our relationship between one another as a lot of teamwork is needed to be able to finish the painting on time. If there is a similar event in the future I might consider going again.

Lim Fu Hao 2A1

I had a happy time there. I learned some painting, that’s about it.

Guang jie 2E2

I have learnt a lot from the mural painting. It needs teamwork and we have to do our work fast or we won’t be able to finish in time. I have also learnt the skill of painting. If there are further activities similar to this, I would be glad to participate.

Amy Ang Sin Yee 2A1

I had a happy and fun time working together with my squad mates during mural painting. I wish that I can have more time together with my squad mates again.

Muhammad Mu’tasim 2E1

I had a good time when doing the mural painting with my NPCC squad mates. Even though we had a good time, we still had to exercise self-discipline so as not to disturb the residents. After all, this was a public place. I hope that we will have a good time like this in the future.

Jeremy Huang 2E1

It was fun because we got to paint murals on the walls. I hope that we can do this more often in the future.

Tay Zhi Qian 2E1

I really had a fun time during the mural painting. Although I was given a great responsibility to guide my fellow friends to paint the murals, I put in my best and with help from my partner, Sean, we managed to complete the mural and all of us had a great time. This event had helped boost my leadership skills and also my bond with my fellow friends had grown. I had enjoyed every part of the event and hope that we will have more events like this where our NPCC squad can get together.

Miss Sherlyn Chew (teacher-in-charge)

Indeed, teamwork and perseverance is important for the successful completion of the mural. Teachers and students alike had on the job training on how to paint and mix colours. Through trial and error, we learned how to manipulate the brushes and also the amount of paint to use.

I was really pleased to see the team work between my cadets. For example, when one cadet drips paint on the floor, he/she would call for the rag and whoever that is nearest to the rag would pick it up and pass it quickly to wipe the paint off. I am really pleased to see the cadets working well together and helping one another. I got to see another side of the cadets where they assisted their peers by holding the paint for one another or helping to carry water from school.

I enjoyed the company of the cadets and had a whole load of fun bonding together with them. It was a break from work and I think I might just pick up painting in my free time.

Many thanks to all who helped with the mural and I hope to work with you guys on more of such projects.
