School Assembly Shows (30 minutes)

Bully-Me-Not

Bullying is a serious problem especially in schools. Students will learn a serious message being sent out regarding the issues of bullying. To neglect the existence of bullying will have a social impact on the victim and it can lead into a more violent result.

Bullying in schools have been a constant for years and we are happy to inform you that we have a programme just for that.

The main objective is to:
- identify bullying issues existing in schools (physical / digital)

- understand how a bully operates and what they do
- deal with the ongoing bullying problem
- help current or potential victims of bullying and how they can deal with it without confrontation or any violent effect
- provide a serious message against bullying and how to handle it

- How can one be an upstander

Synopsis:

Have you ever been bullied before? Have you ever wondered why a bully likes to pick on someone smaller or vulnerable? If that happens, how will you deal with the bully without getting beaten up? Bullies are a common threat in society nowadays especially in schools. Without the knowledge on how to deal with them, a bully can terrify many people and that will affect the victim’s lives, physically and mentally.

In this show, you can see how one student (Damien) has been bullied on his first day of school and how he deals with it. Pressured and stressed over the bullying, he tries to discover and learn why bullies bully and what he can do to stop or at least deter bullies. It's that simple actually.

 

Perfect Harmony

Have you ever felt as if you are different from the rest? Living in a community, we should always be friendly and help one another. If we see someone in need, we should always go out of our way to assist them and not ridicule them. Everyone is special and might be able to help us in any way possible. We must always stay connected. We should always foster a great relationship amongst friends and build positive and happy relationships. The narrator will show them stories about how every individual is important and able to play their part in the community. We should always stay connected, especially to each other's strengths as a united community. And to develop positive relationships mentally, emotionally and psychologically.

 Synopsis:

The first story will be in puppetry format - tells the story about different birds and how they need to live together no matter how different they are. See how each one uses their strengths to solve a situation that threatens them. In the end, all became close friends.

Second story will be done in masks - tells a story about cats and how black cats are considered superstitiously dangerous but all are the same. 

At the end of the story, the moral of the story will be explained. 

 

Transition to Learning

 

As the year is coming to an end, students from K2 will be transitioning into a Primary School. The same goes for students from Primary 6 who will be moving on to a Secondary school. There will be a lot of mixed emotions from the students – fear, anxiety, afraid, excited. This performance regarding bullying and the transition will hopefully help students understand and control their emotions to get them ready for a new school environment especially with or without their friends.

The message is not to poke fun on others without knowing the person. Sometimes we have our own strengths which can help others in times of need. Also, to guide the students not to be afraid if they are in an entirely new environment.

 

Shadow Puppetry Workshop (in Malay and English)

1. 1 – 3-hour workshop
2. 1 – 3-day workshop (2 hours – negotiable)

To allow students to learn about the history, origin and art of shadow puppetry through hands-on approach in creating the cut-out puppets to co-creating the narrative (depending on how long is given to conduct the programme) that is aligned to the overall theme of cultural appreciation. Through the session, students should learn the importance of sharing stories about the community through the art of shadow puppetry. The session should end with at least one performance as a class or in groups.
