Directors' Message
To us, CE means more than just Community Engagement. It is an opportunity for mutual learning and growth. We see CE as a platform to connect meaningfully with others, to listen, and to learn. Through our interactions with the d/Deaf community, we hope to deepen our understanding of Deaf culture, communication, and lived experiences, while also reflecting on how we can become more inclusive and empathetic individuals.
Through our time in ACE, we hope to further develop our leadership skills and learn how to effectively apply our individual leadership styles within the EXCO team. Beyond that, we aspire to create meaningful and lasting memories with our engagers and community partners from Beatty Secondary School and SADeaf. By engaging closely with the community, we also hope to gain deeper insights into the challenges faced by our CPs and explore how we can better support and empower them through understanding, empathy, and collaboration.

Pre-engagements
For our pre-engagement, we had bonding games, admin talks to orient engagers into CIS and a short introduction to Singapore Sign Language. We also had a guest speaker Mr Lim Chin Heng to share his experiences to expose engagers to the d/Deaf culture in Singapore.
Engagement & Impact
CAPT in Silence creates spaces where communication goes beyond words. Partnering with the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community, we design hands-on sessions that foster empathy, creativity, and mutual understanding.
For Beatty Secondary School, we engage with the students through fun activities related to their school values. For SADeaf, we aim to connect with the d/Deaf community through activities like baking and canvas painting while also imparting useful information to them such as financial literacy.
Through these engagements, CAPTains grow as empathetic communicators and reflective learners who value connection over perfection. Our collaborations with Beatty Secondary School and The Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf), supported by our Community Partner (CP), ensure that each session is meaningful, inclusive, and shaped by the community itself. Together, we learn that even in silence, there is understanding, growth, and friendship.
