Club Rainbow’s annual education awards seek to motivate and guide our beneficiaries on their journey towards an enriching life.
“Every student can learn, just not on the same day or in the same way” - George Evans.
Here at Club Rainbow, holistic education is important where we acknowledge the different learning capabilities of each child, coupled with their chronic illnesses. The children are encouraged and motivated to pursue their education regardless of the challenges they face and not be deterred.
We embrace the spirit of learning and determination of the beneficiaries from mainstream and special education schools by recognising their achievements through the Education Awards.
Mohamed Mohsen, 16, posing with his Achievement Award (SPED).
In 2020, a total of 74 children were rewarded for their efforts with our Education Awards. Mohamed Mohsen, 16, felt “happy” that he was “making (his) parents proud” when the Achievement Award (SPED) found its way into his hands.
With regards to how his mother has supported him on his journey to clinching this Award, she says, “(Independence) is our goal, so I’m trying to help him by not helping him and tell him to ask (only when) difficulty arises.”
As for the mother of Progress Award (Mainstream) recipient Jonathan Ng, 13, she “encouraged him in whatever he (did)” and struck a balance between work and play by “draw(ing) up a study plan together with him, and included some free time too”.
With Jonathan’s greatest source of motivation being the ability to buy science encyclopedias, he hopes to achieve the Spirit of Learning Award next. “With the money from the Award, I can buy those encyclopedias,” said Jonathan.
When asked what her child can take away from this Award, Mohsen’s mother thinks that it would help Mohsen do his (utmost) best in everything he does, be it education or others, (while) regulating himself well and keeping humble and grounded all the time”.
Likewise, Jonathan’s mother hopes that this teaches Jonathan to be more hardworking in whatever he does and that practising more responsibility in his actions can achieve great results.
