7 March 2007 - Sports Heats and Tennis Giants
Mr Simen shared with the school a text he wrote about tennis legends John McEnroe the Superbrat and Bjorn Borg the 'Iceberg'. It was a lesson on how to write a great introduction and with subsequent paragraphs which make a comparison between the two players. It was also a lesson to motivate our boys who would be participating in Sports Heats today.
The sporting heroics of Hakim (4A2) was also highlighted previously and again today about his involvement and participation in the Tennis Davis Cup Junior Competition. Never selfish and playing for the pride of representing Singapore, Hakim stands tall as a sporting individual who plays not for self-glorification but for a grander and greater glory of his team, school and country.
Tsunami and Compassion
Sumatran earthquake hit Singapore yesterday. Several buildings in Singapore felt it and for the first time, several buildings in Shenton Way was evacuated. The morning prayer and reflection was about calamities and how everyone suffers tragedy. God wants all of us to be brave in the face of any kind of trouble and personal tragedy, and to be ready and alert for the time when it happens. The reflection was from the Old Testament about Job.
The school offered prayers for victims in the earthquake. Mr Simen also made a call for Montfortians to respond as 'giants' with compassionate individuals like in the Tsunami event of 2004. We had written a book to deal with the grief we felt and to raise funds for its victims.
