Steptember term break

Dear students,

Thank you for the lovely Teacher's Day presents.

Do have a good break over the one week term break, maintaining balance between rest, play and study/revision.

When school reopens on 13 September, please remember to bring along for submission:

• Progress Report (signed)
• Artwork for Student Organiser - My Skills, My Future

The "Artwork for Student Organiser" worksheet was given out during ILEAD lesson today, before the concert. Performers and school captains who have missed the lesson may illustrate on a blank piece of paper:

1. Your strengths (based on our school values and the 7 habits)
2. Your interests 
3. Your aspiration (the occupation you aspire to be in based on your strengths and interests)

You are encouraged to visit www.ecareers.sg to find out the career choices that complement your strengths and interests.

Please also be reminded that the deadline for ER3 Wall Design Competition is 16 September 2016. The design must include an ER3 message.  Use a recycled paper (maximum A4 size) for your drawing. If you have some great ideas and have not drawn them on recycled paper, it's time to get it done over the term break! Submit your drawings at the box placed beside the school hall.

Happy new year

Hey everyone, have a wonderful 2011!

One-week term break

Just the first three days... enough to make me boom up in size!

There were morning and afternoon invigilation in school on Monday and Tuesday, and only morning invigilation on Wednesday. I didn't want to miss the chances to catch up with my dear friends over the holidays, so I've been rushing around for fabulous meals with my friends after invigilation in school.

On Monday, I met my NIE ex-classmates - fellow teachers - for dinner at Ion. I seriously miss them lots! Students may not understand but once you started working and life gets so busy, you will really miss those days when you see your classmates and friends so often in school and after school. School days were still the best for me!  Now you get to chill out with friends the entire afternoon after school but once you started working, everyone will be too busy and the only time to gather and catch up will be over a quick dinner.  And it's so difficult to gather because everyone's so busy, thus gatherings are rare and few. So appreciate your friends and the time you have while you are still a student~ Homework is seriously nothing compared to real work! Alright, enough of my nagging...

We couldn't catch up enough over dinner and went to Starbucks for more catching up on one another's life... and we saw these!

Tuesday's dinner was with Miss Ee at Ang Mo Kio Hub... what a feast! I think we ordered too much food. (-_-) And we could still squeeze in desserts after window shopping! Oh boy, no wonder I'm growing up... in terms of clothing size! XD

Random shots in the canteen on Wednesday... during the break time in between invigilation. Stall no.5 - the western food stall - was the only food stall that's opened over the one week term break.

There's no afternoon paper on Wednesday and I met 2 buddies - also ex-classmates and current teachers - for lunch at Changi Airport T3.

After the spicy lunch we hopped over to T2 for desserts and fries! Fattening~ (>.<)

Thursday was spent marking and mugging in Starbucks (a photo was uploaded in my Facebook ,"Mobile Uploads" album) and the rest of the week with my family. I miss my parents and brother to bits. It's great catching up with my dear friends and family... I'm looking forward to my next holidays already~ I'm sure you are too! =P
