Students and lecturers from MSC took learning to another level and expanded their area of knowledge of the trading industry when they paid a visit to the 12th Singapore Gifts & Premiums Fair – 11th Stationery & Officelink. The 3 days event which was held from 20th – 22nd July was held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Hall.

Some of the Interesting Items at the Fair

 

It was a huge eye opener for most of us as this was our first time visiting a trade fair. We saw many interesting things which we thought could be highly recommended for the school. It also provided a platform for the students to enhance their business mindset. The contacts the students have gotten at this trade-show can go a long way as some aspire to be successful entrepreneurs in the future.

The happy faces of the students who had a wonderful learning experience.

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.
