Unlike previous years, Recognition Day Assembly was not conducted ‘live’, due to the Covid-19 situation. Instead, there was a virtual
short ceremony to recognise two groups of students for their achievements in 2020. The first group of students were those who had
done exceptionally well in their CCAs. The second group of students were the Queens Graduates, who have excelled in academic,
character and co-curricular areas.

The awards were:
• CCA Meritorious Awards
• CCA Outstanding Individual Award
• Colours Award (graduating students)
• Sports Boy and Sports Girl
• Outstanding Health and Fitness Class
• Champion House Award
• Outstanding Queens Graduate Awards

                                    2020 has been an interesting year for the Prefectorial Board. Led by Head Prefect Poon Jian
                                    Ming, Paul of 401, and driven by the motto “To Lead is To Serve”, Prefectorial duties started
                                    on the very first day of school as we welcomed our juniors into the Queensway family with
                                    a specially curated orientation programme. The orientation programme took place over
                                    a span of three days and included class games, house competitions and a school tour. The
                                    orientation programme ended with a campfire led by the Board together with their peers
                                    from the House Committee. Planning and executing the orientation programme was indeed a
                                    mammoth task but nonetheless a rewarding experience as the prefects learnt how to organise
                                    events systematically. Our prefects not only learnt to build interpersonal relationships among
                                    themselves but with other students and teachers. Most importantly, the experience not only
                                    gave the prefects a platform to hone their leadership skills but gave them the confidence to
                                    take on more leadership roles.

                                    Apart from their day-to-day and school event duties, our prefects, in particular senior prefects
                                    were also involved in organising training programmes such as the Project Management and
                                    Facilitation Camp held during the March break and the Fundamental Leadership Camp for
                                    Sec 1 and 2 prefects, which will be held during the coming year-end holidays. Undeterred by
                                    Covid-19, the Board continued to conduct meetings and planning sessions via new platforms
                                    such as Zoom. Through their meetings, they have put together interesting plans for 2021.
                                    A highlight for the Prefectorial Board came in Term 3. Fresh from being back after the full home-
                                    based learning programme, three candidates from the Board, Ingrid Irawady, Lim Zheng Rui,
                                    Justin and See Yi Kher Claire campaigned before the school for the position of Head Prefect.
                                    Due to Covid-19 management measures, the three candidates together with their respective
                                    teams had to source for alternative platforms to campaign. The ended with a polling day which
                                    saw the school coming together to vote, with Ingrid Irawady of 301 elected as Head Prefect
                                    2020/2021. In Term 3, our trainee prefects were also officially appointed as Prefects after
                                    one semester of probation and training. It was a proud moment for our senior prefects who
                                    had meticulously been playing an instrumental role in guiding, grooming and mentoring the
                                    trainee prefects.

                                    Overall, it has been a meaningful and challenging year for the prefects as they often have had to
                                    manage both their studies and CCAs, but they have always risen to the occasion, accomplishing
                                    tasks successfully. With passion and dedication as their guiding force, the prefects will continue
                                    to uphold the school’s core values of discipline, respect, responsibility and excellence.
