CONTENTS
2010 has been a year of signifi cant achievements
for Queensway Secondary School. At the start of the year,
we rejoiced with the 2009 cohort as they did us proud by
scoring the school’s best ever L1B5 results of 16.6 in the GCE
‘O’ Level Examinations. During the year, QSS also attained a
string of awards that validated that we have the processes in
place and are off ering a holistic education to our students.
These awards include the Sustained Achievement Award
for Academic Value-Added, the Sustained Achievement
Awards for Uniformed Groups and Sports, the Environment
Sustained Achievement Lotus Award, the National Education
Development Award, the CHERISH Award and the People
Developer Award. All these awards affi rmed us that we are
truly providing a well-balanced education to fully develop
our students and help them achieve success. It is a well-
deserved recognition of our hard work in providing an
excellent holistic education.
2010 also saw the change in school leadership as I assumed
my fi rst year in offi ce as the principal of the school. The year
was also a special year with the inaugural Youth Olympic
Games held in Singapore and we too played an active part
in the YOG celebrations. Queenswayans Johann Yeo and Nor
Ellynawati were amongst the YOG torch relay bearers. They
carried the YOG torch along Margaret Drive, running in front
of the whole school community that was lining both sides of
the road and cheering them on. Noor Fatin Afi qah also did us
proud when she was awarded the Best Soccer Sport Girl of
the Year by the Singapore Schools Sports Council.
The Class of 2010 scored 49% distinctions in their Mid-Year
GCE ‘O’ Level Mother Tongue Language Examination. This
augurs well for the year-end GCE ‘O’ Level Examination. I am
confi dent that they will do us proud in their fi nal hurdle at
the national examination.

As we refl ect on 2010, we feel a deep sense of gratitude
and appreciation to all our stakeholders, partners, parents,
teachers and students for all that has transpired this past
year. It is a very successful year. This QSS Annual seeks to
record the people and events that have given us the many
fond memories we enjoy as a school community as well
as capture the passion, vitality and spirit of our school. It
provides a kaleidoscope of the vibrant QSS culture and
refl ects the Queenswayans’ aspirations, spirit, challenges
and triumphs. We salute the dedication and the service of
our staff , the talent and commitment of our students and
the support and cooperation of the parents, alumni and
partners of the school. Thank you to all of you! Onwards to
2011 – Our 50th Anniversary!!

Secondary Two students went camping at the MOE’s Changi Coast Adventure Centre. Secondary Three students took advantage of the internationalization

Our School Song
By Dover in Clementi is a school that I love
Her motto “To Forge Better Lives”
She is laid in green lawns
Against blue skies above
There’s where we shared laughter and tears
To be under once more
The fl ag of our school
The best school of all
New Town Secondary School
So!
Here is to New Town our school in Singapore
We’ll never forget her
We’ll love her evermore
We are proud of her past
She is famous today.
So!
Here is to New Town!
To New Town...
Hurray!
Our hair may grow white and our step
Lose its spring
Our childhood be left far behind
But throughout the days
That our long years may bring
One thought will gladden the heart

As an NE ambassador, I did a powerpoint presentation for
my fellow schoolmates about Total Defence. Initially, I was
scared that I might fumble or slur on stage but thanks to my
friends’ support and encouraging words, I did fi ne.
The P4 Military Defence activity was exciting pupils became
‘soldiers’ for a day. They went through obstacles and hurdles
mirroring what SAF men do during training. Everyone had
their faces painted with camoufl age face paint. It was a
memorable day.

Total Defence Day
The annual Racial Harmony Day is here again. This year, we were encouraged to wear our traditional costumes. For the level-based activity for P5, our task was to decorate a shirt and write to express our wishes for our friends. During recess, our Parent Support Group prepared delicious delicacies representing all the different food of the different races. I think Racial Harmony Day is important because it serves as a platform for all races to learn and appreciate each of our unique cultures.

NE Ambassadors had to collaborate with the Drama
Club pupils to present a short skit entitled ‘Recollections’.
We had to undergo some training. The teacher who
trained us was Ms Rena Tan. She is a very good and
kind teacher. We also rehearsed with the Drama Club.
Teamwork and cooperation ruled the Day! During the
level based activity,
we had to complete
a collage entitled “our
ambitions”. I had a lot
of fun partaking in the
activities.

International Friendship Day On International Friendship Day, I was very proud to be able to present about my hometown, Myanmar. I was given the opportunity to present the languages of Burma (Myanmar). I was very happy to share about my culture and language with my school. International friendship day is an important day as it reminds us that regardless of where we come from, we should all live in peace and harmony. My schoolmate presented about his hometown, Phillipines.

It was a positive learning experience as they played games and interacted with the residents there. Joelin from 6D commented, “I found the visit super meaningful. I had the chance to talk to the elderly as I seldom interact with my grandparents. The visit made them really happy.”

Dear 6A pupilsThere were many times that I worried for all of you, many times when I was angry and frustrated. Then, there were times when you made me smile and giggled, laughed out loud and burrowed my brows in amusement because I could not believe how funny some of your antics were. These will be the fragments of memories that I will carry with me for a long time to come. It has been my privilege having you in my company this past year and I can only wish you the very best for your future. All of you are made for greater things in life. Believe in yourself. Be a reader for life and always remember to uphold the attitudes and values that you have. I hope our paths cross again in future and if they don’t, I hope we have shared some pretty awesome time together.

A Publication of Jurong West Primary School 2010 30 Jurong West Street 61 Singapore 648358
Dear parents,
In a matter of a few weeks, we will be reaching the end of another academic year. I would like to take this opportunity to fi rst thank all our stakeholders in your continual support towards the school. The school has seen quite a lot of changes this year and I would like to use this platform as a means of updating you on what is happening.
From mid last year, the school engaged its staff and pupils in a transitional process of relooking at our mission, vision and values. This was essential in keeping up with the educational system and also a conscious eff ort on our part to always refl ect on our goals and ambition for the future. We are proud to acknowledge that our new vision- Excellence in Attitude, Excellence in Life was crafted as a result of a brainstorming session from one of our classes in Primary 4.
Our mission statement was refi ned and we are committed to developing a confi dent person, an active contributor, a concerned citizen and a conscientious learner.
Some parents were also invited to join the staff in revisiting our core values. This was a deliberate inclusion because we wanted our parents to be our partners in the education of their children. From the initial 8 core values, we streamlined them to 4, resulting in the acronym RISE.
R – Respect ( Respect for people and environment)I – Integrity ( Doing the right thing and loyalty to class, school, family and country)S – Self-Discipline ( Being resilient, self-directed and practising self-control)E – Excellence ( Excellence in attitude, excellence in life)
We hope that with the introduction of these new mission, vision and values, we promote a mindset of excellence in our children. The teachers will be using these aggressively in their everyday interactions with your child. I hope to appeal to parents to complement us in our eff orts and to also help us inculcate the same values and beliefs at home.
It is our aim to provide a holistic education for your child, one that balances academic achievement with that of Co-Curriculum Activities. We strongly encourage our pupils to take part in a CCA so that they can develop themselves aesthetically and physically as well. The school also started on a storytelling workshop this year for all Primary 3 to Primary 5 pupils. This is the direction the English Department will be focusing on from this year onwards. Identifi ed as the Niche of Excellence in Spoken English, the department believes that storytelling will be one of the most eff ective ways to perfect the speaking of good English. In fact, the school kicked off this programme very positively by winning the top prize for the Lower Primary category and consolation for the Upper Primary category in a storytelling competition held at Jurong Point. This was reassuring that we are indeed heading towards the right direction.
Our school was also privileged to be chosen as one of the pilot schools in Singapore to start the PAL programme. PAL stands for Programme in Active Learning and it is the Ministry’s attempt to bring forth learning in a fun and engaging manner to our Primary 1 and 2 pupils. PAL spans across 4 diff erent arenas- Sports and Games, Visual Arts, Outdoor Education and Performing Arts. The pupils were introduced to the various modules through activities and hands-on experiences. All these were paramount in building the SEL competencies (Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Responsibility, Relationship Management and Responsible Decision Making) in them.
This year has been a fruitful and eventful one for many involved. I hope that you will continue to lend us your support in every way possible. I look forward to another meaningful year with all of you.

On 23rd July 2010, we held our 71st Prefects’ Commendation at St Andrew’s Cathedral. 350 students witnessed the ceremony where 7 senior prefects and 7 school prefects were commended. Each of them renewed their commitment to preserve the tradition of the school and exercise their given authority to maintain order and discipline in the school.

The Student Government (SG) is one of the strategic thrusts of the school and it aims to raise the leadership standards among the students. Student leaders will serve the school, lead the student population and inspire their juniors to do the same. The SG includes the Senior Prefects, Uniform Group Leaders, CCA leaders, Upper Secondary Class Committee, Junior Leaders and Lower Secondary Class Committees. The Panel of Prefects, being at the top of the hierarchy, sets the tone and bearing for the various groups in the SG.

SAPTA (St Andrew’s Parent-Teacher Association) organized a food fair on 30th July 2010. The students of Sec Two Normal Academic took part in it with great enthusiasm and helped raise funds. The parents were there to show their support and to help the Saints in their endeavour. With extended recesses for both lower and upper secondary classes, the canteen fast became “Makan [eat] Street”, with our boys strumming a guitar or hooting their vuvuzelas in their attempts to lure customers to their stalls. It was just as much fun as it was a learning experience for our budding entrepreneurs, under a new programme called Jacob’s Ladder for our Normal Academic students.
Our class 2A was privileged to go on a learning journey to Vietnam from the second to the seventh of June. We landed in Hanoi after a short ight, quite uncertain of what to expect in this country largely unknown to most of us.
We passed the rst night in a train which hardly felt like one as all the carriages looked like hotel rooms! Perhaps the most memorable part of the trip was the various treks that we undertook along the way. On our rst morning, we reached a village called Sapa which was located high up in the mountains. Although it was cold, we enjoyed it as the weather in Singapore is always so very hot! We changed into comfortable shorts and T-shirts for our treks, trudging along with our trusty backpacks lled with water-bottles to keep us well-hydrated. If anyone of us had thought the treks were going to be boring, we were proven wrong when we stepped into muddy or wet terrain and had to hike up steep slopes from one village to another. A careless slip would have meant a bad fall, and it was really good class bonding that we experienced
when people whom we rarely mixed around with stood close by to lend a helping hand to pull us up or to push us on further when we got tired. On one of our treks, we had to make a tricky descent down a mountain – boy, was that dangerous but really fun! We probably trekked a total of 10 km as a class on all of those days.
Other than enjoying ourselves on our treks, we found signi cance in bringing along various books
and sports equipment for the students in one of the village schools that we visited. It made us feel good to be able to contribute towards others’ growth. It was also quite exhilarating playing in a 5-aside soccer match with some students from the village school.
A trip abroad is never complete without some shopping, and that was no exception for us as most of us bought little souvenirs to remind us of our visit there. Patches of the natural
scenery of padi- elds, the setting sun and bullocks or cows grazing in their pasture were a common and oddly beautiful sight. Another common sight in Vietnam, however, is dog meat, which was thankfully off-limits to us.
Vietnam – a country we went to half-heartedly, but also departed from half-heartedly after our enriching experiences there. May God bless the land and its people!

The Youth Olympic Flame which arrived in Singapore on 7th August
2010, arrived at St Andrew’s Village on the second day where it
was lit using a fl ame from a lantern holder which transports it from
continent to continent.
This Ceremony at St Andrew’s Village was
graced by our our Guest-of-Honour, Senior
Minister Professor S Jayakumar. Accompanying
him were the Chairman of the Singapore
Youth Olympic Games Organising Committee, Mr Ng Ser Miang
and our Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports,
Dr Vivian Balakrishnan. Mrs Belinda Charles was present together
with the principal of SAJC, Mrs Lee Bee Yann,
and the principal of SAJS, Mrs Wai Yin Pryke.
In the words of Mrs Charles, Principal, SASS, “It
is a privilege for us today to host the Journey of the
Youth Olympic Flame and what more in the world’s
First Youth Olympics. I cannot imagine an occasion
Journey of the Youth Olympic Flame
more special than this.” She also added, “For us, it symbolizes
how connected schools are with their community who give them
the support and the encouragement.”
The Senior Minister Prof Jayakumar observed, “I am not an old boy
of St.Andrew’s but today I could see the spirit and the dynamism of
St. Andrew’s. The singing, dance, sport, energy and the band give
us a good idea of what St. Andrew’s is all about…”

“UP AND ON”A play written by a Saint, Mr Ian Loy,
was put up by Saints’ Drama Club on 30th and 31st July 2010.The play showed an old boy’s almost intuitive understanding of what it means to be a Saint. The play
about a newly-admitted student who felt he did not belong and the exasperated responses of his
seniors, was an interesting ensemble of all the mischievous antics boys could get up to. It offered
an insight into the world of a Saint and the play had the audience laughing out loud at some instantly
recognisable “Saintly” behaviour.

“Celebration of Youth” is the second photo competition in loving memory of an old boy, Mr Tan Teck Meng. The theme was in keeping with the spirit of the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, which brings together youths of different races and backgrounds to celebrate true sportsmanship.
Participants of the photographic competition had explored different interpretations to this year’s theme, “Celebration of Youth”. All winning entries embodied the energy and spirit of youth, or simply captured a photograph of the Generation Next in action.
Ms Chua Xin Yuan, Head-of-Department for Craft & Technology, had this to say: “I am most pleased that the various partners have continued to support us in this event for the second year running. It was wonderful to know that our partners like the National Geographic Store and Canon acknowledge that it is important we nurture the youths of today with a keen sense of observation, creative experiences, and the desire to develop appropriate technical skills through the medium of photography.”
The winners submitted very good entries and some were expert photographers while others were rank amateurs who found a good shot. One of our winners, Ryan Foo Yi Chern, who had captured an amazing snapshot of a rugby match between Anglo-Chinese School and St Andrew’s Sec, said: “I was actually very surprised. I didn’t expect to win anything as I felt that my photograph was not up to the standard after seeing last year’s prize-winning photos.”
His inspiration was a shot of his friend, Matt Joosa, who showed a tremendous lot of enthusiasm and support for St Andrew’s throughout the rugby match. Ryan managed to capture his winning shot of Matt bursting into another round of cheering at just the right moment.
Another winner, Isaac Tang En-De, an aspiring photographer, had a moment of inspiration. Quoting him, “I usually check out photos on Flickr to nd out how good photographs can be. During the rugby nals last year where we were triumphant, I saw the scene right in front of me and managed to capture it in the wink of an eye!” Isaac’s passion for photography grew in 2008 when a close friend of his would constantly take pictures when they hung out together. That really got him interested and so he decided to use his father’s photography equipment to try it out, since he was a bit of a photographer himself.
Other winners, like Category A second prize winner, D Sri Laakha from Canberra Primary School, took her photo, “Get Set and GO!”, on a spur-of-the-moment. In uenced by her school in 2010, she currently has a big interest in photography and wishes to improve. Her win has encouraged her to aspire to greater heights.
On the whole, many of those who won had not expected to win and were most pleasantly surprised. To me, this is a wonderfully joyous occasion to celebrate another kind of talent in our midst. As they say, “A picture says a thousand words” – I couldn’t agree more!
Celebration of Youth Photo Exhibition
On 21st July 1964, 25,000 Malays gathered at the Padang to celebrate Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. Because of a tussle with a policeman, this led to a mass riot between the Chinese and Malays.
Every year, Singapore celebrates Racial Harmony Day to reiterate the importance of trust and tolerance amidst the diversity that is Singapore – so that we may truly be Singaporean, regardless of race, language or religion.
At Saint Andrew’s, the spirit of Racial Harmony was felt by all on 21st July. Our
principal, Mrs. Charles, gave an inspiring speech in the morning assembly to begin the day. Many staff members turned up in ethnic attire to add to the aura of the day. Our young Saints had some interesting lessons followed by some interactive games - on the ethnically diverse food in Singapore!

For The Love Of Gymslips
The common bond that most sitting in this theatre surely have is that we all were once part of a school and school life. The, perhaps less so, common bond is that some of us, in an attempt to escape the dull diet of prescribed texts, will have sneakily binged on the non nutritious brain fodder that is the boarding school novel. DaisyPulls It Off is not just a play about the travails of a schoolgirl and her companions, but about a form of writing that was once very fashionable. It is an affectionate take – or parody – on the multitude of boarding school novels that were so popular during the mid to late twentieth century. Formulaic,with stock, often larger than life, characters and an overwhelming sense that goodness will soon see the less pure of soul punished by detention, privilege denial or even expulsion. Written from the stance of the character to entertain rather than preach morality, although the conversion and rehabilitation of the ‘bad egg’ and bringing on side is a sentimental though satisfying conclusion. From the 1920s onwards, some girls were starting to have a bit more fun while their many sisters still knew their place. In the years to follow, characters in the school novel provided inspiration and a form of escapism by their apparent sense of independence away from home. On closer read, school friends and teachers appear to belong to a form of extended family. Still, it’s a community with a pecking order. A sense of fairness prevails long preceding a modern age of political correctness. Enjoy the innocence, the nostalgia and the hark back to a quaint turn of phrase now alien to our ears but once as familiar a sound as street-speak is today.

About Auston InstituteAuston has glorified in its role as a tight-knitted, industry focused, urban institute which has consistently provided mainstream courses.
Condusive and vibrant, set in the heart of Singapore, Auston has remained resolutely specialised in Engineering, Management, and Info-Technology concentrating on the top-up degrees which have served its graduates so well in the employment market.
Its strategy up to 2012 however, aims for ‘sustainable regional expansions’ and the introduction of ‘To Market’ expansions instead of the heavy reliance on international student populations at the home campus in Singapore.
Auston has maintained its position as one of the top schools in Singapore after successfully achieving their CaseTrust, ISO and Singapore Quality Class for Private Education Organizations, all renewed in late 2009.
Modest growthDespite modest, but substantial growth, the university programme sees more than 400 proud undergraduates annually. With major revamp to government regulations, an exhilarating new course line-up and new prospects for the industry in Singapore, Auston has been investing in its future, increasing their employment of lecturing staff with calibre and substance, redefining cliche’ campus-life into a high-tech urban center of knowledge striving towards excellence.
CampusThe 5-story city campus is conveniently located between Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, and in close proximity to the Clarke Quay MRT station. Under it’s new leadership and management since 2008, extensive renovations have taken place, renovating and refurbishing it’s entire outlook and facilities, barely recognizable and much improved ascompared to it’s original state.
