7 Feb Parade

We thank God for the great turnout at last Saturday's parade! Our new recruits look so smart in their brand new uniforms!

The senior girls were hard at work, training for the Creative Drill Competition in March. It is so encouraging to see them so committed and giving their best to the team. 12 girls will be selected eventually, based on their performance and committment. A big thank you to our volunteer drill instructors who are so patient with the girls!
We also kicked off a series of devotions on the Parables of Jesus. Full attendence for this series will earn each girl the first badge of the year - God's Book. Last week we learnt from Matthew 13: 44-46 that the kingdom of heaven is like a hidden treasure. It is very valuable and worth seeking. While the senior girls practised their Creative Drill, our recruits had an enjoyable time looking for hidden pictures in a Magic Eye picture and worked at decoding a hidden message. We wrapped up our meeting with the girls' favourite game - SARDINES!
All eight of our P5 girls (Bin Xin, Xuan Ning, Maple, Grace, Mindy, Si Ying, Ru-En and Yi Xinn) have been selected for the Junior Leadership Training Camp on Mar 14 - 15. The camp seeks to groom our girls to be leaders through experential learning and to help build their character and resilience. We look forward to them successfullly fulfilling all the requirements and become Junior Leaders!
See you all at the next parade on 14 February! An early Happy Valentine's Day to all!
