There were three special events which marked Aug 29
a. Teacher's Day
b. ACES Day (All Children Exercise Simultaneously Day)
c. Prize Presentation for students
The day began with the usual mass exercise in our school but it was poignant to note that simultaneously, in all other schools in Singapore, there were also exercises done there. The campaign underscores the importance of health and fitness in a holistic education.
We then proceeded to the hall for a quiet reflection on the role that teachers play in our lives.
Mr Simen then addressed the school and our prize presentations were underway. Prize winners received certificates for doing well in their subjects. It serves as a motivator to strive on.
The Secondary 4N and 4NT students who would be sitting for their English Language, Chinese and Social Studies examinations during the one week break were also given pins to motivate them to live up to the school motto of 'Age Quod Agis'. School leaders, subject teachers and form teachers pinned a 'Sprinting Giant' pin on their collars, telling them that when the 'chips were down' and when all else looked bleak or stressful, look at the pin and feel like it's an angel on your shoulders, easing your burden and knowing that we are all behind them.
The Teacher's Day then began with a whole host of exciting and interesting activities:
a. A Break Dance performance by a group whom we spotted dancing in school.
b. A song by Benedict Yeo from 3A2
c. A game which received roars of laughter which called for you to identify your teacher based on photographs of our teachers' back, hair, eyes, hands, eyes, children's photographs.
d. A very funny and humorous skit about teacher and students exchanging souls for a day.
e. A solemn pledge taken by teachers to educate students to be holistic individuals.
