ON selected Tuesdays every month, three boys in SJK(C) La Salle in Kuala Lumpur – Tan Tze Yuan, Wong Guan Yuan and Wan Ji Yeung – made it their mission to collect copies of The Star newspaper from a designated spot and distribute them to their classmates. They called themselves “Step Up warriors”, because each copy of the newspaper came with Step Up, an English language educational resource.

“Every time the bundle came, they looked forward to picking it up. They were proud of their duties and even likened their roles to the ‘frontliners’ of the school, ” said SJK(C) La Salle English panel head Wong Yuat Peng of her Year Six pupils.
