At Milchel Student Hostel, we prioritise the holistic development of our children. We do this by addressing their physical, character, and academic needs. The cornerstone of our approach lies in our especially designed Character Department. Here, we differentiate ourselves from other accommodations that solely focus on physical comfort or academic support alone. We weave a character-building program for students across all levels through carefully planned activities that fit together like puzzle pieces.
Like our commitment to physical growth and academic progress, we ardently believe in the importance of character development. To achieve this, we’ve fashioned a range of activities, each serving as a building block in our holistic approach. Read on to find out what activities Milchelians participate in, and furthermore, why doing so is crucial in their character development.
Character Building
First of all, the age range of our students vary from as young as 9 to as old as 24. Thus, we designed programs for Milchelians based on their age. We have a program for our Primary level Milchelians where they learn good manners and right conduct. In this program, we focus on habits and values that should be learned by kids their age. Through guidance talks, games, and outings, they build good character that they will carry with them as they mature.
Soft Skills
Secondly, teens need to develop a number of soft skills for them to thrive. In INDULGE, Secondary level Milchelians plan and play activities under our experienced team’s guidance. Here, Milchelians acquire skills that are best learned through application, such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, time management, and planning, just to name a few. From activities that are not only entertaining but also educational, teens also develop strong friendships and connections.
Leadership
Furthermore, Milchelians in the Tertiary level get the opportunity to lead others through their CONVERGE activities. They etch the importance of time management and decision-making into their routine as they balance academic commitments with these activities. This nurtures a skill that transcends into adulthood, aiding them in managing responsibilities effectively.
Charity and Compassion
More importantly, we extend Milchelians’ exposure beyond our hostel setting through charity involvement. Milchelians are exposed to real-world issues. Consequently, they get a glimpse of their capacity to effect positive change. We give them the opportunity to offer their time and effort to support the needy, be it the elderly, teens, and even our furry friends.
As Milchelians of all ages immerse themselves in these activities, they unknowingly embrace and develop the 5 Key Traits that we endeavour them all to learn – Awareness, Discipline, Responsibility, Perseverance, and Confidence. With these traits, they also slowly develop our Core Values – Magnanimous, Intellectual, Loving-kindness, Compassion, Holisitc Living, Effort, and Leadership. These traits form the bedrock of a strong character, essential for navigating life’s challenges.
Over-all, the sum of these thoughtfully designed activities and a steadfast commitment to character development creates an environment conducive to fostering well-rounded Milchelians. We believe that by nurturing their character, we are guiding our children to contribute to the betterment of society.
