No GB on 4 Jul (sat)

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.

As such, we'll see you only on week 2, which is 11 Jul.

See you then!

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.

Team Groupings for LGT

As promised, here's the groupings for LGT on 30 May! Find out who your team-mates are! =)

From now till then, your job is to think of creative ways to make a costume out of the recycled materials we have collected. So far, we have: magazines & newspapers, empty mineral bottles & milk bottles, cloths, shredded paper. These are currently kept in the GB cupboard, so remember to bring them along on 30 May!

Do feel free to bring more materials along on the actual day to jazz up your costume. =) We are also very excited because many sporting mummies will be joining us on that day! Thanks for your support!
