Dr Sia’s energetic and engaging presentation reflected her vast experience motivating young people in the thousands internationally, and had the students thoroughly absorbed ruminating on personal excellence.Aimed at instilling and cultivating good values in the students, these workshop series help enforce students’ development and ease their progression through school. Dr Sia is among the line-up of speakers that will be featured in this initiative, which will also be extended to include other values and grades later in the semester.

Positivity Week will highlight that through team play, students will feel more united, be respectful of others and be more inclusive. Some of the events to look forward to are random acts of play, play-themed assemblies, a fundraiser for Right To Play*, balloon drops and a Clubs and Societies Fair where students can “shop” for extracurricular activities that suit their interests. We hope that through this week students will adopt this sense of togetherness which will lead to lifelong healthy behaviour, attitude and respect of others.

This night marked a special night for 96 graduates in the Grade 8 programme. Donning their suits and fancy dresses, the graduates started off the evening with a delicious celebratory dinner, before adjourning to the Graduation Ceremony. Throughout the ceremony, the year was reminisced about, and deserving students were given academic and character education awards. There were some tears and laughs, but in the end smiles were on the faces of all, with a graduation diploma in hand.  A huge congratulations goes out to all graduating students for a year of hard work, perseverance, and determination (yes, with a little fun thrown in there too).  Best of luck to these students in 2015, as your first year of high school will be upon you.
