Singapore Youth Festival
The Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) (Chinese: 新加坡青年节) is an annual event in Singapore organised by the Ministry of Education to celebrate the achievements of youths in the performing arts. Students in schools across Singapore compete in the SYF to see who gets a gold award. More than 30,000 students participate in the performances and activities in the SYF, as well as events leading up to it.
Held bi-annually, our ELDDS, Chorale and School Band participated and competed. They did us proud:
a. ELDDS - Silver Award
b. Chorale - Bronze Award
c. Band - Bronze Award
They had spent countless hours preparing for these competitions and did extremely well. The ELDDS were on the brink of even withdrawing from our competition and still emerged with a Silver. It was all through the efforts of Mr Simen and parent volunteers that we did so well. Mr Simen, Mr Wu and Mr Leow congratulated all the teams. They mentioned that with regards to the ELDDS, it would be GOLD and even an OSCAR in a few year's time.
Coaches-Teachers
How do you know who to trust in the many people who come or way and whom you will meet in your life? There is a lesson in life which was passed on to our students at assembly:
a. Those who would drive you.
b. Those who would cry and feel most for you.
So, kiss the hand which feeds you. Understand who ha your interst at heart. These are the people who would help you. These are what true gurus and teachers are about.
The final shot was "Don't wallow in the mud. We need everyone. Teachers, parents, students. Everyone. Glory, we shall have."
