ACE Alumni
Ahhhh our EdVenturers… Our pride and joy! Many of our graduates sail out to the world to explore the seven seas and uncover hidden treasure. Okay… They’re not pirates but so many of them are head-hunted and hold leadership positions in the corporate world. Equally, they are also thriving in the creative industries like singing and dance—careers that most parents are opposed to because it’s challenging to make a living. They attribute their successes to the headstart they had in our Education Ecosystem.
Freedom to Learn
Ashley
- BA in Fine Art, RMIT University Melbourne (4th year)
- Interior Designer and Construction Site Supervisor (Internship)
- Malaysian National Dodgeball Player and Coach
- Dodgeball World Champion (Melbourne, Year 2016 and Canada, Year 2017)
The way we are taught and how the programme is planned out with coursework makes the learning way more interactive. It’s very two-way so not only do teachers question us, but we also learn how to ask good questions. The coursework incorporates a lot of real-life situations for us to figure out and I’ve learned so many skills from this.
Social Intelligence
Nicholas
- BSc Biotechnology (ARCS), Imperial College London (2017)
- Maxis Scholar and Cardiff 6th Form College Scholar
- Pioneer Alumni of Sri Emas
I feel that the best thing that Sri Emas does with its learning culture is that they encourage students to be creative, to be novel, things that people wouldn’t think about. There were so many instances where we were encouraged to think outside the box… in fact not just outside the box, think as if there were no box. There were boundless opportunities to create and to present.
Nurturing Talent and Confidence
Darren
- BA in Psychology (Hons), Segi College (2nd year)
- Hip-Hop Coach
- Represented Sri Emas at Hip-Hop International in U.S. (2015)
When I entered Sri Emas, I joined the Hip-Hop Programme and started learning about dance. I feel that through dance, I was able to learn to be more confident and courageous. At first, I was afraid to ask questions and I did badly at presentations. But through dance, I learnt to be more confident and that actually helped with my academic skills.
