International Friendship Day
Secondary 2 - Our School.
Questions:
- What are the relationships that are important to you within the school context?
The environment and I, as it concerns me too, especially in a green school. It is important to keep the environment clean as it would make the school a better place.
- What do you know about the history of your school/CCA?
About my school, I know that the school began in 1994 and till now, it has a history of 16 years. It may not be a very long history but the school has managed to clinch the niche award for environment. That is something to be proud of as we are 1 of the 2 schools in Singapore to have the award. The school vision, ‘A Thinking & Gracious Citizen’, was formulated in 2000. In March 2002, the school's Core Values: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Dedication to the Nation and Excellence (PRIDE) were formulated.
- Share a story about your school/CCA. It can be funny ones, successful ones and difficult ones.
Last year I had my first growth camp in Chong Boon Secondary. I enjoyed the times I spent with my friends at the Dairy Farm for the camp. However, there were some really hard obstacles that were necessary for me to conquer. For example, I have acrophobia - scared of heights. And it happened that there were many physical activities which required us to climb to a high level. I played the abseiling and to say, I was really scared when climbing up the stairs as it was 5 levels high! There were even holes in between the stairs, and for a person like me, I would hallucinate and think that I would actually fall all the way down and die. However, my friend held on to my hand and we went up together. Soon, we went down and we completed the activity. I was really happy as at first, I thought that couldn't possibly have any guts to do it. But thanks to my friend's encouragement, I succeeded!
- Have the stories you heard from your classmates changed the way you view/feel about your school?
Yes. At first, I felt that this school was not as good as some other schools compared to Anderson. However, my friend told me that in this school, there were many team building activities which helps us to improve our relationship with each other. I felt that it was really useful as it can help us to co-operate better with group mates.
