As part of our “World Book Day” activities, our school was honoured to host Professor Lee and Mr Pay on 23 April 2025 for an engaging Author’s Sharing of the book “The Dream of Longgou Fish”. Professor Lee shared the inspiration behind his writing journey and offered insights into his favourite chapter, inspiring students to discover the power of storytelling. Mr Pay, whose life story is featured in the book, captivated the audience with his remarkable journey of building a small fish farm into a world-leading aquaculture enterprise. He challenged our students to read diligently, persevere in their aspirations, and consider the exciting opportunities in urban agriculture. It was a meaningful and inspiring session that broadened our students’ perspectives on reading, writing, resilience and future careers.

为配合《世界书香日》活动，我校于4月23日成功举办《龙沟鱼的梦》“作家如是说”导读分享会。当天，我校有幸邀请到该书作者木子以及书中主人公白先生亲临校园分享创作与奋斗历程。木子先生在会上分享了写书初衷及他最喜欢的章节，引导学生以阅读启发思考。白先生则讲述了他奋斗的心路历程，并鼓励学生们勇于追梦，积极探索城市农业等新兴领域的发展机会。

During this year’s Chinese Cultural Day, our Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 students took part in a martial arts experience and a Peranakan tile-making workshop respectively, gaining a deeper appreciation of culture through hands-on learning.  The Secondary 1 students took part in a large-group martial arts session held in the school hall. Under the guidance of instructors, they learned basic martial arts stances and movements while experiencing the values of discipline, focus and physical well-being. While the Secondary 2 students explored local heritage through a Peranakan tile-making workshop. They learned about the cultural significance of Peranakan motifs before designing and creating their own decorative tiles, combining traditional patterns with creativity. These enriching activities provided students with meaningful opportunities to connect with their cultural roots beyond the classroom.

在今年的母语双周活动中，我校中一与中二学生分别参与了武术体验课程与娘惹瓷砖制作工作坊，在亲身实践中加深了对中华文化与本土传统艺术的了解。今年的活动形式有所创新，中一学生首次齐聚学校礼堂，共同参与大型武术教学。在专业教练的带领下，他们学习了基本步法与招式，领略了武术精神的独特魅力。现场气氛热烈，同学们在一招一式的练习中，体会到团队协作与纪律的重要性，收获丰富。与此同时，中二学生通过娘惹瓷砖制作工作坊，学习了娘惹文化的历史背景与艺术特色。同学们亲手绘制瓷砖，在融合传统图案与个人创意的过程中，提升了审美能力，增强了对多元文化的认同。

“Moonlit City” musical 音乐剧《城里的月光》

The Moonlight in the City is an original Mandarin musical inspired by eight classic songs by veteran musician Chen Jiaming. It tells the timeless love story of our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew and Mdm Kwa Geok Choo, spanning from the 1930s to the 2010s, portraying their shared journey through Singapore’s nation-building years. The cast delivered heartfelt performances with he lighting and stage design effectively enhanced the mood and historical atmosphere, creating a moving visual experience. Beyond its musical excellence, the production reflects strong local creativity and cultural pride. After watching this musical, our 16 Secondary Three Higher Chinese students gained deeper insight into the pioneer generation’s resilience, could better appreciate the strength of love and ideals, and hence might develop a greater appreciation for local arts and culture.
