Joining the WINGS programme has helped me to break out of my comfort zone and ultimately transform into a more confident person. I became more willing to venture into new possibilities and cultivated essential skills such as leadership, communication, organization and planning. The programme has also made me realise that there is more to science than just simply memorising and regurgitating information that I have acquired in the classroom during my everyday lessons.

Being in WINGS has helped me develop soft skills like leadership, time management and confidence. I also had an opportunity to take part in the exclusive Student Overseas Trip that allowed me to explore a different culture. I had the chance to develop many friendships through the events and overseas trips I had participated in during my WINGS journey. These are things that we cannot learn just by being in a classroom. These soft skills that I have gained will grow along with me.

The WINGS programme has helped me become more open-minded and exposed me to a lot of environments that are beneficial to me. Being a shy and conservative person, WINGS has helped me break out of my comfort zone and gave me confidence to lead and be involved in many events. The Science course is definitely challenging and you just need some fun in life. This WINGS programme gave me stress-relief and fun at the same time!
