31 May
It was a morning of fun for staff who participated in the Amazing Race as they had to
work in groups and travel in cars to get to different destinations after deciphering the
clues given to them. They had to work as a team to complete some challenges set for
them when they got to the various destinations. The final stop was the bowling alley
where staff enjoyed a sumptuous buffet lunch before the bowling tournament. St
Ambrose House came out tops in this year’s tournament! Congratulations to one and all!

23 March
All teachers of the Lasallian school in Singapore gathered at St Patrick’s
School on this day. We were privileged to have Mr Wayne Bull, Principal of
La Salle College, Perth to speak about sustaining and nurturing the
Lasallian values. During the session, our Vice-principal, Mr Tayeb Rajib, also
shared on what it means to be a teacher in a Lasallian school. Lasallian staff
who had attended the APLEC (Asia Pacific Lasallian Educators’ Congress)
in Manila gave a very informative and uplifting insight into their
experiences there. They led the Lasallian teachers in chanting “Animo” in
one voice. “Animo” refers to the Lasallian spirit to fight with the elements
of team work, courage and purpose to make a difference through helping
others, inspiration from the accomplishments of the institution, purpose,
and vitality.
During the March holidays, teachers attended a two-day
workshop on planning a defensible differentiated curriculum
to prepare pupils for the 21st century.
