Principal’s Greetings 校长前言
In August, we celebrated our 51st National Day and our first Olympic Gold medal brought home by
Joseph Isaac Schooling. Much has been reported on Schooling’s glorious achievements and the hard work
he had put in to achieve this pinnacle of success. The stories about his quest for Olympic gold are inspiring,
and we hope that our students will emulate his success and strive to do their best in all their
undertakings. On 22 August 2016, we were deeply saddened by the passing on of our former President
Mr S. R. Nathan. Mr Nathan was one who never said no when called to serve, no matter how small or how
big the task. We urge all students to learn from him to persevere, work hard and believe in themselves.
As a school, we are heartened that our innovative teaching and learning strategies were featured
during the recent Mother Tongue Languages Symposium held on 20 August at Suntec Singapore
International Convention and Exhibition Centre. In recent years, Pei Chun has worked on leveraging
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Media Studies to provide more applied learning
experiences for our students. This has in turn helped develop 21st century competencies in our students
through authentic contexts and greatly enhanced their learning in school.
Coming up soon, will be our Teachers’ Day Celebration on 1 September 2016. Teachers play a
critical role in educating and shaping the lives of our children. We are touched by the enthusiasm shown
by many students who have come forth to put up performances to show their appreciation to their
teachers on that day. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated on 14 September 2016 during curricular
hours to encourage full participation from all students. Through activities such as lantern-riddles, paper-
cutting, clay-modelling, chopstick-painting and lantern-making, we hope our students will learn more
about the Chinese culture and appreciate harmony and family unity during this joyful occasion. It leaves
me now to wish all of you an enjoyable September break.

最好。在 8 月 22 日的晚上，我们为前总统纳丹先生的逝世深感悲痛。纳丹先生献身公共服务，他
义不容辞、为国献身的精神，令人敬佩，同时也让人心怀感恩。
我校很荣幸在 8 月 20 日于新达城国际会议展览中心举行的母语学习论坛上分享我们在教学上

些真实情境的学习有助于发展学生 21 世纪的技能，大大提升了他们在校的学习体验。
紧接着在 9 月 1 日，我们将举行一年一度的教师节庆祝会。教师在教导与培育我们的下一代
方面扮演着举足轻重的角色。看到学生积极地为老师们筹划表演项目，以表达对老师们的谢意，
我们深感欣慰。此外，我校也将在 9 月 14 日庆祝中秋佳节。为了鼓励学生充分参与，庆祝活动将

UPCOMING EVENTS
TEACHERS’ DAY CELEBRATIONS
Teachers’ Day is a special day set aside to pay tribute to our
educators for their dedicated service in nurturing the next
generation. There will be no school on 2 September 2016. The
school will be celebrating this special occasion on 1 September 2016. Pupils will be putting up
performances to showcase their talents and express their appreciation to their teachers. We
understand that many students will take this opportunity to thank their teachers and make them feel
appreciated on this special day. Telling their teachers how much they appreciate them or giving them
handmade cards with notes of affirmation are some simple but meaningful ways students can consider
to express their appreciation to their teachers.

LEAVE NO CHILD INSIDE – JUBILEE WALK
The Jubilee Walk is an eight-kilometre trail that connects
the past, present and future elements of the Singapore
story, from ancient Temasek to the colonial era, to
nationhood, rapid urban development and beyond.
During the September holidays, why not take some “Family
Time” to bond with your child and discover the stories of
our people, places and events through the Jubilee Walk? You and your child can learn about our heritage
and connect the past, present and future of our Singapore Story through fun activities in the ‘Jubilee Walk
Family Time Activity Sheet’! Click on https://roots.sg/visit/trails/jubilee-walk for more information on
the Jubilee Walk and to download the ‘Jubilee Walk Family Time Activity Sheet’.
PSLE
How time flies! Our P6 students are now into the last lap of their preparations for
the PSLE. While we understand that they are working very hard to achieve their
goals, their well-being is of utmost importance to us. A five to ten-minute break
for every thirty minutes of revision may help them achieve more. Regular exercise can also help to
reduce anxiety levels. Let us, parents and school, continue to support and encourage them.
