GB Day, 13th July 2009
Dear parent and girls,
GB Day is the day where we commemorate the work of the Girls’ Brigade. GB Singapore started when one school teacher came from England with a passion and a compassion for girls to grow to become responsible and confident women.
Today, there are over 70 GB companies in Singapore with the mission to help every girl discover her uniqueness, reach her fullest potential, embrace good moral values and to prepare every girl to be a positive influence in her generation in Singapore and beyond.
Our program and activities are designed to develop each girl to her fullest potential by equipping, empowering and enabling Every Girl to be a Leader.
GB Day also marks the beginning of the GB fortnight (a fund raising event), during which we hope to raise funds to support our work among the girls. Hence, we would also like to take this opportunity to invite our friends, family, well-wishers and partners to contribute to our work in making a difference in the lives of our girls.
We will be celebrating Girls’ Brigade Day 2009 on Monday, 13 July 2009.
Girls, do note the two things that you will need to do on that day.
1) Wear your GB uniform for the full day
2) Meet at the meeting point at 7am for collection of GB fortnight cards.
Hope you girls have a great GB day!

No GB on 11 Jul (sat)
Dear parents & girls,
The school has decided to suspend CCA for another week as a precautionary measure.
Please note that there will be NO GB parade on the second week of school (11 Jul, sat).
But there's no need to be sad! We will be able to see one another earlier! and that's because GB Day is coming up on 13 Jul (mon)!
Mam Evelyn will be giving us more updates on this in a while, so do continue to check out this website regularly for the latest news!
See you then!

Dear parents & girls,
Please note that there will be NO GB parade on the first week of school (4 Jul, sat). This is in line with the school's efforts to decrease mass gatherings as part of the H1N1 precautions taken to safeguard the health of the students.

Enrollment Ceremony and LGT Challenge Post Update
Hi everyone! We so missed everyone and hope that you are enjoying your holdiays. Can't wait to see you in July!
Finally, we got down to writing about the two major events In May....oops...
23 May 2009 - Enrollment Service at Woodlands Secondary School
The Enrollment Ceremony is our annual event whereby we celebrate God's faithfulness, enroll new members and re-dedicate existing members. We also congratulate our graduating members who have been faithfully and actively involved. This year we are very blessed with 21 new girls!
That day, we all went early for the parade rehearsal. During the rehearsal, the heat was strong but many of you endured the sun and went through the full rehearsal. Well done, girls!
As we finished the rehearsal, the rain started pouring. As a result, the parade was cancelled and we proceeded straight to the hall for the ceremony instead. After the ceremony, we had our fill of delicious catered food and ice cream! Look out in the slideshow for pictures taken that day!
To our two graduate members, Celine and Natania, we appreciate your involvement with us for the past years. All the best for your coming PSLE and future endeavors!
30 May 2009 - LGT Challenge at the Botanic Gardens
It was a mad scramble to get our 3Rs costumes together before we headed off and we were so blessed to have such creative mothers amongst us! Thank you Cynthia, Kui Moi, Sally, Meng Hu and Adeline! Our girls were decked out in ang pows, newspapers and Grace was a very pretty princess with her bevy of "slaves". What a fantastic costume Grace!
What a very hot day it was but 29 girls and 8 parents had a wonderful time at the Gardens. It was indeed a time to "Celebrate Our family" as the theme of the LGT Challenge goes. We bonded as we "Seek, Explore and Discover" the sprawling grounds of the Botanic Gardens, resourcefully fillling up the answers for our activity sheets! Did you know there is actaully a Canonball Tree?
And then it rained. Some of us were caught in the rain and Grace's innovative costume became our shelter. :) Talk about REUSING!
We don't know what prize we won (the PA system wasn't the best...) but one of our teams won a prize! Well done everyone for completing the Challenge and braving the weather! Girls, you will be getting My Responsibility badge for participating in the LGT Challenge as the whole experience has taught us much our role in conserving the environment.
