Key Student Leaders’ Investiture

To recognise and affirm our student leaders of their commitment towards serving the school community, the school held its annual Key Student Leaders’ Investiture for our Primary 3 to 6 Prefects and Junior Sports Leaders (JSLs) on Thursday, 7 March 2024, during assembly.

Our student leaders play a vital role in our school community and have shown exemplary dedication in serving and supporting their peers, making a positive difference in our school. Let us continue to support and encourage these young leaders as they continue to lead by example and model the way!

Track and Field Meet

The vibrant atmosphere of excitement filled the air as students, teachers, and parents gathered at Yishun Stadium for our Annual Track and Field Meet on 1st March 2024.

The day kicked off with a march pass, as each house team proudly marched onto the track, donning their distinct house colours. Cheers and chants echoed across the stadium, igniting a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship among the participants.

The annual Track and Field Meet was a medley of fun-filled events, catering to the diverse interests and talents of the students. From traditional track and field races like sprints and relays to unconventional games like ladder running and long rope skipping. There was something for everyone to enjoy. The cheers of encouragement from classmates and teachers echoed through the field, uplifting the spirits of the participants and fueling their determination to do their best.

Amidst the fierce competition, it was heartwarming to witness the bonds of friendship and support that flourished throughout the day, transcending the boundaries of competition.

As the participants bid farewell to another successful Track and Field Meet, they carried with them a sense of pride and accomplishment, knowing that they had given their all and made memories that would last a lifetime.

Total Defence Day

On 15 February 2024, our school observed a significant milestone: the 40th anniversary of Total Defence in Singapore. It's a day etched in our hearts, reminding us of the resilience of our nation during challenging times when Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942 during World War II.

As part of the commemoration, both students and staff immersed themselves in an energy disruption simulation. Imagine the hum of electricity fading away as the clocks struck 8.00 am, plunging our school into temporary darkness until 9.00 am. It was a tangible reminder of our vulnerability, given Singapore's dependence on fuel imports and the potential disruptions it could entail.

Through this exercise, we aimed to equip our students with the readiness to face such disruptions, where we would need to prioritise the allocation of electricity for critical sectors. It was a glimpse into a possible future where households, including our schools, might have to adapt to such challenges.

After the simulation, our students engaged in reflective discussions, sharing their emotions and insights with their peers. It's not just about experiencing the simulation; it's about fostering a sense of solidarity and resilience within our school community, echoing the spirit of Total Defence that has sustained our nation for four decades.

Chinese New Year Celebration

Peiying welcomed the Year of the Dragon with a blast this year with an exciting lineup of Chinese New Year activities for the students.

Students were engaged in interesting classroom activities at the start of the day. The mass dance involvement by the whole school also added much vibrancy to the occasion. Another highlight for this year’s CNY celebrations included Wushu and Dance performances by our very own Peiying talents!

We ended the school celebrations on a high note, with the arrival of both the Dragon and Lion Dance troupes. Students were exhilarated to see them in our school hall!

Here’s wishing everyone a joyous and smooth Dragon year ahead!

Cyber-wellness Week

The Student Management Department orchestrated a dynamic Cyber Wellness Week from 5 February to 8 February, bursting with engaging activities. This year's theme is on fostering responsible digital habits and managing screen time. With a spotlight on the detrimental effects of excessive screen exposure on mental and physical well-being, particularly among our youth, the event aimed to ignite awareness and spark action for Cyber Wellness.

From captivating assembly talks to vibrant Cyber Wellness information board displays stationed in the library, students were immersed in an interactive journey to learn about Cyber Wellness. Quizzes challenged their knowledge, while reflective sessions prompted deep introspection.

The ultimate goal? To empower our students to navigate the digital landscape with confidence and discernment, making choices that prioritise their well-being.

First Day of School

Embarking on a new journey with excitement and smiles! Our P1 students kicked off their first day at school with a mix of emotions. Waving goodbyes to their parents at the school hall, they walked to their classrooms under the care of their Form Teachers and engaged in fun activities with their teachers and friends in the classrooms. The P1 students swiftly embraced the primary school experience and settled into the new environment.

They were happy to have their first recess with their parents and were eager to explore the food options in the school canteen. A day brimming with smiles and fresh beginnings! Before they knew it, the school bell signaled the end of the day. Our P1 students looked forward to reuniting with their families, with some anticipating their very first school bus ride or immersing themselves in the student care experience. Wishing all our P1 students the best on this exciting journey ahead!

P1 Orientation

On 10 November 2023, our school organised an orientation to welcome our 2024 Primary 1 students and for them and their parents to learn more about the school and expectations to help them ease the transition and have a great start to Primary School. Through the activities guided by the teachers and student leaders, our incoming Primary 1 students had the chance to know each other and to foster relationships among the students. While the students were engaged in the classroom activities, their parents attended a sharing by our Principal and Year Head on what to expect in Primary School, how to prepare their child for Primary 1, and building school-home partnership. After the briefing, students and parents had a school tour and visited our Media Resource Library and PRIDE Garden.

We look forward to seeing all our Primary 1 students on 2 January 2024!

Children's Day Celebration

In line with this year’s theme for Children’s Day - Be Active! Be Inclusive!, exciting activities were organised for our students across all levels. Supported by the PSG, our Primary 1 and 2 students had great fun at the Lower Primary Games Day. Primary 3 and 4 students gained valuable leadership skills and ‘Code for Fun’ while our Primary 5 students were thrilled to learn and perform ethnic fusion and hip-hop dance to stay active. Lastly, our Primary 6 students learnt about teamwork and inclusivity through the ‘ESCAPE! Room’ activity. The series of challenges in the activity created opportunities for them to show care and concern for their peers and also on goal setting and time management. Our students had a fun-filled and enriching Children’s Day celebration!

Teachers' Day Celebration

We celebrated Teachers’ and Staff Day on 31 August. The theme for this year’s celebration is “You Have Superpowers”! We acknowledge that every staff in the school has their unique strengths and extraordinary abilities in nurturing our students and creating a conducive school environment for the students to develop into motivated and appreciative lifelong learners. The whole school gathered and celebrated together in the hall. Performance items were put up by our students and Parents Support Group to show their appreciation to staff. The highlight of the day was the walk-in segment, where students cheered loudly when their teachers entered the hall holding the bouquet of flowers made by them!

It was an enjoyable event and a fitting end to the term.

National Day Celebration

This year’s National Day theme ‘Onward As One’ calls upon Singaporeans to look forward confidently and move onward together in building our shared future as one united people. As part of the National Day celebrations in school, interactive activity stations were set up during recess on August 3, 2023. Students were engaged in solving quizzes about Singapore and National Day on iPads. They also indulged in colouring and captured memories at the photo booth. CCE Ambassadors and National Day committee teachers organised and facilitated the activities, ensuring a seamless experience for all Peiying students.

During the National Day Ceremonial segment, students solemnly observed the Colour Party bringing in the State flag and school flag with pride. After which, the school celebrated Singapore’s birthday with the singing of National Day songs and a Peiying Fashion Parade where teachers and students paraded and danced down the hall to loud cheers from the whole school.

What an enjoyable day for all! Happy Birthday Singapore! May you stay strong and resilient in the years to come!

Racial Harmony Day

In July, we commemorated Racial Harmony Day to remind everyone on the importance of maintaining racial, religious harmony and tolerance among the different communities in Singapore. Besides the meaningful and fun-filled classroom discussions and assembly programme, students were introduced to different cultural motifs and their meanings during recess activities. With the great support of our school’s Parent Support Group members and our very own CCE ambassadors, students were guided to colour the motifs to form collages, which aptly ties in with this year’s theme, “Our Multicultural Mosaic”.

English Language Fiesta

The English Language department had organised the English Language (EL) Fiesta from 30 March to 28 April 2023 to encourage students to read widely and be confident speakers. An array of events and activities were curated for the different levels, as well as those for the whole school. This year, the school had invited Mdm Cheng Puay Koon, our School Advisory Committee member and illustrator of a P2 STELLAR unit ‘Roti Prata’ to read and draw with the P2 students. In addition, the school invited students and staff to come to school dressed in the theme of ‘Superheroes’ on 31 March 2023. It was heartening to see the students dressed in characters such as princes, princesses and superheroes from the storybooks they like.

To further encourage the love of reading, some of our students from P3 to P6 were invited to share their favourite stories during the Pre-Assembly periods. This activity had certainly captivated the students as they listened to the storybook reviews and excerpts of stories. The promotion of a reading culture is one of the cornerstones of the school and the EL Fiesta brings about the joy of reading through the activities designed for the students.

P5 Camp

Our Primary 5 students attended the Outdoor Adventure Camp from 13-15 February 2023. The 3 days 2 nights camp was held at the MOE Dairy Farm Outdoor Adventure Learning Centre. Led by MOE’s Outdoor Adventure Educators (OAEs) and teachers, our students had the opportunity to experience learning through a variety of activities. These include the challenge rope course, team building activities, stream exploration and many more! The highlight of the camp was definitely the night walk, whereby students trekked through Dairy Farm Nature Park with just the moonlight illuminating the way.

Through this camp, our students were actively engaged cognitively, physically and affectively with the learning environment. They were also put in challenging situations where they developed resilience and courage. It was an unforgettable experience for the students and it will definitely stay with them for a long time.
