SIGNATURE HMC LEADERSHIP STUDENT
PROGRAMMES PROGRAMME ACTIVITIES
One of HMC’s strong beliefs is that
developing character is just as important
as providing an all-rounded and holistic
education. True to that belief, HELP
Matriculation Centre’s programme has
introduced a leadership camp to nurture
the students’ character.
At the camp, students are motivated to
uplift their sense of self-worth as well as
encourage them to acquire important
qualities such as self-ownership, effective
communication, leadership and teamwork
as well as planning and flexibility for future
endeavours.
HMC COMMUNITY
Community Service Leadership Camp
SERVICE
Apart from striving for academic
excellence, students completing their
foundation studies at HMC are required to
contribute to society by completing a
minimum of 10 hours of community C2AGE
service. By engaging in the volunteer
work, they have an opportunity to learn
experientially.
Not only does this experience allow
students to make more informed choices
about college and future career options, it
