Empowering CCKSS students to communicate with confidence through insights from Ria 89.7FM and Capital 95.8 professionals.
Turning Up the Volume on Learning at CCKSS!
Our school recently hosted media professionals from Ria 89.7FM and Capital 95.8 as part of the school’s ongoing efforts to provide authentic learning experiences that prepare our CCKSians for a rapidly evolving world. The engagement focused on strengthening CCKSians’ communication competencies while broadening their awareness of career pathways within the media industry.
Through thoughtfully curated sharing sessions, our CCKSians gained practical insights into effective public speaking, presentation techniques, and audience engagement. The interactive nature of the programme encouraged active participation, allowing our CCKSians to build confidence and develop the clarity needed to communicate ideas with purpose and impact.
For the Capital 95.8 segment, we specially invited a media reporter and a radio DJ to share their professional journeys and workplace experiences. Their candid perspectives offered students a deeper understanding of industry expectations and the transferable skills required to thrive in communication-driven professions.
A highlight of the engagement was the return of our alumna Wu Wei Ying 吴韦莹, now an established media professional, who connected meaningfully with the Secondary 4 & 5 CCKSians through her reflections on transitioning from student to media professional. Her journey underscored the enduring value of a CCKSS education and served as a powerful reminder that resilience, passion, and strong communication skills can enable students to realise their aspirations.
The session with DJs from Ria 89.7FM placed a strong emphasis on presentation skills, equipping our CCKSians with practical strategies to organise their thoughts, articulate ideas clearly, and respond confidently to questions. These competencies are particularly valuable in strengthening our CCKSians’ overall communication capabilities — a critical life skill that will support their academic journeys, future careers, and ability to engage meaningfully in an increasingly interconnected world.
Beyond skill acquisition, the session nurtured CCKSians’ self-expression and strengthened their readiness to engage confidently with diverse audiences. By interacting directly with industry practitioners, our CCKSians were empowered not only to speak effectively, but also to influence, collaborate, and lead.
This engagement reflects CCKSS’s commitment to holistic education — developing future-ready learners equipped with the competencies, adaptability, and confidence to navigate an increasingly complex landscape. Through strategic partnerships and the continued involvement of supportive alumni, the school remains dedicated to creating meaningful platforms that connect classroom learning with real-world relevance.
When CCKSians find their voice, they discover their power — a belief that continues to guide CCKSS in shaping confident communicators and future-ready individuals.
