JUNIOR YOUTH AGE 13-16
Buddhist Fellowship Junior Youth Dhammaduta Programme aims to help teenagers aged 13-16 years live skilful and happy lives by learning and applying the Dhamma.
Weekly Dhamma Class
A weekly Dhamma class is held every Saturday from 3pm to 5pm by volunteer teachers. During the lessons, students will chant and reflect, meditate and learn the Dhamma. Lessons are designed to encourage students to investigate, understand and apply the Dhamma and this is achieved using diverse teaching methods (e.g., stories, suttas, and activities etc.). We focus on helping our students apply the Dhamma to their daily lives so they can personally experience the benefits. This includes learning to manage academic stress, relationships, and various challenges brought about by an increasingly fast-paced world.
FIELD TRIPS AND OUTINGS
ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS
BREAK FOR EXAM PERIODS
Learning and play extends beyond the classroom! Once every quarter, we have activities like food distribution, movie, picnics, temple tours, nature walks etc. This allows students to contribute to the community while bonding together.
We commemorate Vesak Day each year by helping out in BF’s funfair. At the end of the year, we have an overnight camp where students have fun, bond and immerse in Dhamma- centric activities and games.
We have breaks during the busy exam periods so that students can focus on their studies. Students are also taught relaxation and mindfulness practices to help them manage stress better.
