The day started with the observance ceremony in the field and the uniformed groups were out in full force for the parade.
The parade started with the marching in of the contingents followed by our national flag. The song, 'My People, My Home' was sung during the ceremony. Mr Tan read the National Day Message from the Minister of Education. In particular, he recalled how in the PM's National Day Rally a few years back, the PM spoke about it raining on one of the first national day's in Singapore. No one moved even though it poured to show their commitment and love for their country.
Returning to class, the students were treated to cake, as a symbol of it being Singapore's birthday. Our Principal and Vice Principal went around the classes and took part in celebrating with the students. Though school ended early, it was truly a memorable day and I'm sure everyone went home proud of being Singaporean.
