International & Multicultural
A cultural group for Third Culture Kids. Third culture kids (TCK) are people raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of the country named on their passport (where they are legally considered native) for a significant part of their early development years. They are often exposed to a greater variety of cultural influences. The three cultures of Third Culture Kids refers to the expatriate culture in which the student often grew up in, the culture of their passport country, and the culture of their host country.TCC aims to create a community for Third Culture Kids where members can grow together as a family through conversations, personal discovery, and community development. As a community, we hope to achieve these goals through a variety of opportunities and events categorised under social, cultural, and community service. As a group of students we also want to maintain a balance of educational and recreational opportunities. Third Culture Kids (TCK) often do not have a culture or geographical group that they can identify themselves with. Most TCKs do not know the answer to the question “Where are you from?”. Many have moved around several times growing up, and have had experience living in many different cultures. TCKs often understand the struggle of having no permanent identity and alienation from other cultural groups because they consider many places or none of them home. As globalisation is on the rise, there are more and more TCKs in our generation and among our student body. We hope to foster a community where TCKs feel like they belong and allow them to realise that there are many others who have had a similar childhood experience around them.
