"You are themaster of your fate" –
Wu Yee Sun College Leadership Training Camp
"Y
ou are the master of your fate". It was the lesson
our
12
Sunnies learnt from our Leadership Training
Programme.
Du r i ng t he w i n t e r
break, Wu Yee Sun
College and Outward-
bound Training School
provided a tailor-made
leadership programme
to the student leaders
of the College. During
the seven-day trip, the
student leaders faced challenges of the extremes. One of
them included climbing up to the top of a small hill. The
coach first estimated that the round trip would take three
hours; however, the team misunderstood the map and was
lost in the middle of nowhere. There was a moment that
they wanted to call for rescue, but they decided not to give
up. With determination to finish the task, the team figured
out a completely new way by exploring the unknown area
despite the difficulties they might face. Finally, they were
able to reach the destination with the new trail which
they explored and even the experienced coaches were
impressed!
There were countless unforgettable moments
including sailing in kayaks to an isolated
island and camping in the wild;
bui lding thei r own
boats and
sailing back to the base; and lying in complete darkness
and star-gazing the spectacular milky-way. These challenges
were exciting and memorable, but the establishment of
team spirits and the break through of our Sunnies were
even more precious.
You are the master of your own fate. Step out of your
comfort zone and create your own unique path!
Students' feedback
"I was the team leader and I was extremely amazed
of how we have built our teamwork from nothing.
We didn't know each other before the camp which
explained why we couldn't communicate effectively at
first. We were told to do group rope skipping for
10
times, but our jumps were out of phase and we were not
able to do even once! However, after the trainings, we
built up great trust with each other and we were able to
communicate more effectively. Although we still couldn't
complete the task, we were proud of our cooperation
and happy to receive the punishment together."

"The experience was very valuable as I have tried so
many new and exciting things. I have never imagined
myself sea kayaking as I cannot swim. However, I have
overcome all the physical challenges together with the
team. At the end, I even took the challenge of jumping
off from the highest point to celebrate our completion of
the camp! Now I believe I can achieve more than I could
imagine."
