Not only do we care for our passengers, we are also dedicated to guiding our next generation to a brighter future.
SS1 (Form 4) is a critical year for students, as many youngsters start to plan about their future, especially under the new senior secondary academic structure. Based on the successful organisation of the programme in the past 3 years, we have invited the Methodist Centre to jointly develop the "Train" for life's journeys Programme 2012, a 10-day multi-dimensional training programme provided free for 100 selected SS1 (Form 4) students. This aims to give SS1 (Form 4) students a chance to broaden their horizons and to learn valuable life skills. We also hope to increase their confidence so that they can realize their full potential.
