Hi Everyone,

We are now celebrating Chinese New Year. This is one of the many festivals celebrated by the Chinese. The Malays, Indians and other races also celebrate their own festivals.

For this week, I would like you to reflect on the meaning of these festivals and how we can preserve racial harmony in Singapore.To help you with your reflection, I have listed some questions/pointers below:

1. Tell us about the festival you celebrate.
2. Why do you celebrate this festival?
3. How do you celebrate the festival?
4. Do you know what are the festivals celebrated by the other races? If so, could you name a few? Also tell us who celebrate them and why they celebrate them.
5. Do you think the celebration of the various festivals help in strengthening racial harmony among the various race in Singapore? If so, how?
6. In your opinion, how can we develop stronger bonds among the various races in Singapore?

Looking forward to reading your reflection soon.

Hi Everyone,

Mr Tan mentioned the school's vision, mission and values on the first day of school. In this week's reflection, I would like you to show me whether you remember the school's vision, mission and values and to give your views about them.
To help with your reflection, I have listed some questions below:
1. What are the school's vision, mission and values?
2. What do you think of the school's vision, mission and values?
3. Do you believe in the school values? If 'yes' or 'no', why?
4. Do students think of the school values when engaging in activities in school or outside? If so, how?
5. How can you, as students, live up to the school values?
6. What activities do you think the teachers can organise in class and in school to help students learn the values?

Hope to hear from you soon.
