Internship Experience - Woodgrove Secondary School

For a week in November 2025, three students (Kexin, Leroy & Jing Xuan) from Woodgrove Secondary School embarked on a meaningful journey through the Young Changemaker Programme.

The students stepped into the world of social innovation, community engagement and digital learning!

Their internship experience began with the Social Innovation Hackathon, where they supported primary school students in exploring new media and digital skills.

Leroy took on the role of mentor, guiding students through their final submission. While Jing Xuan and Kexin supported sutdents in learning how to use iMovie creatively. Beyond the event support, the interns also explored deeper social issues through empathy mapping activities.

Throughout the internship, the students were exposed to the work of a social enterprise and learnt how businesses can create meaningful social imapct within the community.

'I would like to highlight the sixth day where i learn a quote from a very wise man - "not always you would need to fight for right". This really had a significant impact on me which I appreciate." - Leroy

"It seem like a brand new experience to me that I work with other school people in a company, I also make friends through this program from other school and I am lucky to have a chance on my first day of the internship, I start with an event." - Kexin

"Make The Change really taught me many skills I acquire and made me realise what I need to improve on. I feel that this internship is very worthy." - Jing Xuan

We are proud to have been part of the Woodgrovians' internship journey and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will continue to create in the future!
