Will service opportunities at school be recognised as community service?
A7: The purpose of community service is to enable students to acquire some experiences of serving others and to develop their sense of responsibility. The school itself is a community. Students can have many opportunities to achieve the same objectives if there are in-school service opportunities, or even serving local primary schools and kindergartens. However, ideal community service in senior secondary levels should not be confined to school environment and can be expanded to outside school, if appropriate, for building up sustainable life-long capacities to serve in their community after schooling.
