Life in ITE promises to be an enriching and fulfilling experience. Developing Leadership Potential In addition to technical training, the vibrant ITE Colleges are also There is no lack of opportunity for students to develop their filled with many exciting activities to equip students with life leadership potential. But, what does developing one’s skills such as leadership and organising skills to help them leadership potential mean? Essentially, it means students will be prepare for their careers. trained to be responsible for their actions and decisions. This is achieved by teaching them the skills involved in the decision- STUDENT DEVELOPMENT making process. At ITE, the development of students’ leadership potential can be done through their involvement in Co- ITE’s training philosophy is to provide students with total Curricular Activities (CCA) and, more importantly, through the training and development. This includes developing a healthy integrated approach used in teaching. body and mind. Physical Education (PE) forms part of the ITE CCA Recognition Scheme curricula and is provided under the Sports and Wellness module. Under the CCA Recognition Scheme, students can make use of All full-time students, except those exempted on medical or their CCA grades attained through active participation in CCA to other grounds, are required to attend weekly PE sessions. PE convert them to GPA points, when applying for progression to sessions are conducted by trained physical education higher level courses in ITE as well as to the polytechnics. These instructors. bonus points will give students who are active in CCA an edge in gaining admission to courses of their choice. Staying Competitive In this fast-paced information age, knowledge is a very The CCA approved under the scheme include sports and games important asset. The more knowledge or information students and non-sports CCA such as Student Council and Bridge Leaders. have, the more adaptable they are to change. ITE’s total training ITE Colleges are well equipped with facilities for a wide range of concept therefore, includes equipping students with skills that CCA. ITE Colleges have facilities for basketball, volleyball, will not only give them a head start in the workplace but also badminton, sepak takraw, soccer and tennis as well as rooms for help them to stay competitive. music and the arts and other clubs and societies. Students can participate in the many activities organised by the CCA groups. For example, besides attending classes for the core modules Most CCA groups are managed by students with the help of (Business, Engineering or Technical) in the course, students are lecturer-advisors. also required to attend classes on life skills. Life skills in broad terms are foundation skills and personal qualities that an individual can transfer from one job to another, and to manage and adapt to changes in technology and work environments. The Life Skills modules are delivered through the Personal and Professional Development components. Broadening Students’ Minds The contents of some ITE courses are quite specialised. To ensure that students are given a wider outlook or perspective of industry, ITE has created opportunities for students to be exposed to knowledge in areas outside the course they are pursuing. For example, students will be required to visit at least one company each training year. The company they visit will be from an industry that is related to their course of study. These visits are designed to give students a first-hand experience of the type of working environment they could be in. It will also give them the opportunity to ask questions. In fact, some Colleges have set up their own job attachment schemes for their students so that they would have a better feel of the working world. 52
STUDENT DEVELOPMENT & SERVICES Sports Inter-College competitions are organised by the ITE Sports Council. At present, Inter-College competitions in badminton, table-tennis, cross-country, basketball, sepak takraw, soccer, track and field, volleyball and ten-pin bowling are organised. In addition, good athletes are selected to represent the Combined ITE Teams to compete in the Institute-Varsity-Polytechnic Games. The list of games at ITE Colleges includes: • Archery • Netball Community Service • Badminton • Rock Climbing Events to develop students’ sense of social responsibility are • Basketball • Rugby organised regularly. These events are aimed at broadening • Billiard • Sailing students’ experience and increasing their awareness of the • Bowling • Sepak Takraw needs and social issues of others in the community.

All full-time students are encouraged to put in at least 15 hours of community service work in their studies in ITE. However, the nominated executive committee of the club is given opportunities to organise and plan the activities. They are being trained in the process to develop their potential to the fullest so that they can continue to serve the community even after graduating from ITE. Music and the Arts The Centre for Music and the Arts (CeMTA) is established to help develop ITE students artistically and to further nurture their potential in the performing arts such as music, dance and drama. The aim of the Centre is to create a culturally more vibrant College environment to provide students with more opportunities to pursue their interests and showcase their artistic talents. 53
