Motivational Camp for UEM Land’s Secondary PINTAR Schools’ Students

NUSAJAYA, Sunday, 1st July 2012: UEM Land Holdings Berhad, the master developer of Nusajaya, the key driver of Iskandar Malaysia, through its corporate responsibility programme successfully organised a motivational camp for its PINTAR secondary schools’ students at Training Centre Felcra Tebing Tinggi Segamat, Johor, today.

The motivational camp conducted for secondary schools’ students on 29 June to 1 July 2012, were attended by 200 students from Form Two and Four students from UEM Land’s PINTAR schools in Gelang Patah.

The three-day and two-night motivational camp were targeted at the low to medium performance and high-risk students. The camp was aimed at helping the students to identify and unleash their potential, to stay focussed and most importantly to acknowledge the importance and the impact of education to their future.

The motivational camp were filled with mental and physical challenges and activities such as Pond Rafting, Flying Fox and Night Challenge to discipline and instil positive values in these students as well as to expose them to the importance of time management, team work, determination, commitment and perseverance. In addition, it taught the students to be accountable for their own actions while respecting others particularly their parents and teachers who have been providing them guidance, support, love and protection after all these while.

“Initially, I was a bit reluctant to join the programme and I imagined it to be very stressful and boring. But, I was wrong as it was totally different from what I have imagined. It was indeed a very challenging yet fun programme where I gained valuable knowledge through its activities and made a lot of new friends too”, said Amir Farhan Bin Ahmad Baki, a Form Four student from SMK Taman Nusa Jaya.

“Another wonderful experience that I gained during the programme was being chosen as the ‘Imam Muda’ or the head for the male students. It helped me to build my self confidence and I am so happy to be part of the programme”, he added.

This motivational camp is part of the UEM Land’s ongoing quest under its CSR Education – Academic Excellence Programme to help raise the academic performance of its PINTAR students.
