East Coast Park Beach Cleaning

The Track & Field went to clean the beach at East Coast Park Area E to make the park and BBQ pit area a clean and green environment for its patrons. During the activity, participants have exercised the college value of Selflessness as they felt that picking up litter at the beach on a Saturday afternoon requires one to sacrifice their time and energy. Let's take a look at what some of the participants have got to say!

"I was delighted. There was a sense of accomplishment to be able to pull such an activity off." - Tan Wei Jie

"After the CIP activity, I find the activity was very beneficial as benefits the environment with us helping to clean up the beachand promotes team spirit as we did the activity together." -Nicholas Heng

"Beach cleaning has totally changed my viewpoint of what a beach is suppose to be like. Basically I am sure that most of us found beaches a place of leisure, however, this place of pleasure is now flooded with refuse due to our negligence in ensuring a proper disposal of our thrash.
Despite picking rubbish under the scorching sun, the company brought along by your team brings joy to picking thrash under such a demanding situation." - Chan Tak Kin

A CIP activity thus not only helps a team to bond, it also have made us discover issues about the environment and society we live in, as mentioned by Tak Kin. I am glad that Wei Jie felt delighted after the activity. And of course asNicholas mentioned, no matter how small our contribution is, every CIP that we do is beneficial and impactful. (: Good job Track & Field members!
