Message from
The SAC Chairman
2015 is a very special year for Juying Secondary as we celebrated Singapore’s 50th birthday as well as
Juying Secondary’s 20th anniversary.
Founded in 1995, Juying Secondary lives by our late founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s belief that the quality of Singapore’s
future is determined by the quality of her youths. Over the past 20 years, Juying Secondary has helped Jyians progress
towards institutes of higher learning, and nurtured them into people with strength of
character, possessing strong instincts for racial harmony and our collective future.
Juying Secondary School has certainly made an impact on Singapore with
her contributions and achievements. To all Juying staff, parents, partners and
students, you can be very proud of the school because it has consistently
achieved value-added results in the GCE O and N Level Examinations. The
programmes and activities organised by the school and its partners, such as
the Fitness Run at Singapore Discovery Centre and overseas Values-In-Actions
expeditions, are also clearly evident of the continuous effort by the school to
develop the pupils holistically.
There is a Chinese saying, “ 前 人 种 树 , 后 人 乘 凉 ”, which literally means
“one generation plants the trees, another generation enjoys
the shade”. I want to specially thank the pioneer educators
of Juying Secondary School for sowing the seeds of love
and labour. Because our pioneer educators laboured,
we are able to enjoy the fruits of their labour today. We
are able to celebrate Juying’s achievements this year
because we are living the legacy which the pioneer
educators have sown.
I also want to thank the founding Chairman of the
school advisory committee, Dr Ong Ann Tee, for serving
Juying Secondary for two decades. Dr Ong took a keen
interest in the progress of the school and contributed
towards students’ holistic development with the Dr Ong
Ann Tee Special Award which is given out annually at
the school’s Speech Day. Dr Ong also took an equal
interest in staff excellence and contributed towards staff
recognition through the I3 Awards and R3IGHT Awards,
which were given out during the Teachers’ cum EAS’ Day
celebration.
Having received the baton of leadership from Dr Ong, I will
continue the excellent work and foundation laid by Dr Ong and
the dedicated members of our School Advisory Committee,
work together with the Principal, Mr Seet Tiat Hee, his team
of competent and caring staff, and supportive parents to bring
Juying Secondary to achieve new peaks in striving towards
Academic Excellence, Character Excellence, Staff Excellence
and Partnership Excellence.
Together we will succeed.
Message from
The Principal
“Living the Legacy. Nurturing for tomorrow” is the theme adopted to mark Juying Secondary’s 20th
Anniversary (JY20) cum Singapore’s 50th Anniversary (SG50) celebration. It sums up our aspirations
and hope to continue the great legacy left behind by our pioneer educators, and to nurture the new
generation of tomorrow.
We are very happy and honoured that many of our staff who belong
to the pioneer generation and who were founding members
of the school returned to Juying Secondary to celebrate
and be appreciated by the present generation of Jyians.
They included Dr Ong Ann Tee, founding Chairman of
our School Advisory Committee, Mr Richard Dawson,
Cluster Superintendent of Juying Secondary for 18
years, and Mrs Lee Yin Ling, our founding Principal,
who provided the key leadership in the earlier years of
starting the school.
2015 began on a very positive note with the release of the
2014 GCE O level results, as our Jyians achieved the best set
of value-added results for both the Secondary 4 Express
and Secondary 5 Normal (Academics) streams in the
last decade. This was followed by the excellent
results achieved by our Aesthetics groups
who participated in the Singapore Youth
Festival Arts presentation, achieving
two Certificates of Distinction and two
Certificates of Accomplishment. Our
IT and Media Club also did the school
proud by sustaining their Gold awards
in various Picomouse competitions.
Capping the list of outstanding
achievements was the best results for
the GCE N level examination in Juying
Secondary’s history, where almost all
subject passes and distinctions were
above and comparable to the national
results.
All these achievements – in both academic
and character development domains - were
made possible because we have a strong team
of caring, competent and empowered staff. One
such staff member is our Year Head, Mrs Amy
Yeo, who was the finalist of the President Award
for Teachers 2015. She exemplifies the dedication
and commitment of all our staff in Juying who
are guided by our school’s OYSTER philosophy
and our H.E.A.R.T.S. ethos to teach, guide and
motivate our JYians to scale greater heights.
We are also grateful to our generous and
supportive School Advisory Committee who
contributed both time and financial resources to
enable our school to become a more conducive
learning environment. Similarly, our Parents’
Support Group and our partners in education
such as the Nanyang Community and Tzu
Chi Foundation also supported the school in
countless ways and provided opportunities for
our Jyians to serve.
Mr Andy Koh Ngak Tong
Chairman
School Advisory Committee
Juying Secondary School
Mr Seet Tiat Hee
Principal
Juying Secondary School
We will continue to strive towards our vision
of developing our students to be a Gracious
Community of Lifelong Learners with Strength
of Character as we stay true to our mission of
“Inspiring Learning, Inculcating the R 3 IGHT
Values and Impacting Lives”.
Together we will succeed.

Remembering our pioneers…
Remembering our celebrations Our former
Principals...
“I was touched and moved when I heard
the school song for the first time. It was
the labour of three persons – my VP, Mrs
Tay Kheng Siong, Mrs Choong Lay Len
and myself. I wish to say the school has
come a long way to its present level of
achievement and you should be proud
of your school.”
Mrs Lee Yin Ling (Principal from 1995 – 1999)
Juying Secondary School had lined up a number of activities to
celebrate the SG50 year. This year, our school celebrated our 20th
Anniversary cum SG50 Celebration on 26 May 2015 based on the
theme ‘Living the Legacy, Nurturing for Tomorrow’. The theme to
mark Juying Secondary’s 20th Anniversary cum SG50 celebration
sums up our aspirations and hope to continue the great legacy
left behind by our pioneer educators, and to nurture the new
generation of tomorrow. There is definitely no better opportunity
than this special occasion, for us to join the nation in paying
tribute to the pioneer and senior educators of Juying Secondary,
who have made significant contributions, and impacted the lives
of many Singaporeans and JYians.
The school was honoured to have former principals, including
our pioneer Principal, pioneer teachers and HODs as well as our
pioneer EAS, to grace the occasion. The event was meaningful
as well as nostalgic as the guests reminisced the good old days
and recalled fond memories. It was also a time to renew old
friendships.
As part of the SG50 celebrations, our school also remembered the
less fortunate amongst us. In this respect, the staff and students
embarked on a special Values-In-Action project to raise money
for charity by making soft toy bears for adoption. We managed to
raise a total of $8,888.00 and donated the sum of money to the
Singapore Autism Society.
The whole school also commemorated SG50 Jubilee National
Day Observance ceremony on 9/8/15 at the Jurong West
Stadium. The guests included the residents living in the
Nanyang neighbourhood and our various stake-holders such
as parents, SAC members and the GOH, Mr Alvin Yeo, Adviser
to Nanyang GROs.
“Having been in Juying Secondary
School for five years helped me
to understand that nothing is
impossible. I want to say to the
students : Believe that you can do
it and you will be able to do it.”

Living the Legacy, Nurturing for Tomorrow
Good evening. A very warm welcome to all
Mr Alvin Yeo, our Guest-of-Honour, and Adviser to Nanyang GROs
Mr Richard Dawson, Cluster Superintendent, West 3
Dr Ong Ann Tee (BBM), Chairman, Juying Secondary School Advisory Committee
This year, 2015, marks a key milestone in the history of Juying
Secondary. Not only are we celebrating the school’s 20th
Anniversary, we are also very privileged and honoured to be
able to commemorate Singapore’s 50th birthday in the same
year.
“Living the Legacy. Nurturing for tomorrow” - the theme
to mark Juying Secondary’s 20th Anniversary cum SG50
celebration – sums up our aspirations and hope to continue
the great legacy left behind by our pioneer educators, and to
nurture the new generation of tomorrow. There is definitely no
better opportunity than this special occasion, for us to join the
nation in paying tribute to the pioneer and senior educators
of Juying Secondary, who have made significant contributions,
and impacted the lives of many Singaporeans and JYians.
We are indeed very happy and honoured that many of our
Pioneer Generation staff and Senior staff of Juying Secondary
are here with us this evening. They include our Founding
Chairman of our School Advisory Committee, Dr Ong Ann Tee,
Superintendent for 18 years Mr Richard Dawson, Founding
Principal Mrs Lee Yin Ling, Vice-Principal Mrs Tay Kheng Siong,
HODs Mr Koh Chong Khye and Mrs Mun-Tan Ling Cheng,
Cikgu Sies Senan, Mr Lim Chye Lye, Mdm Chia Wang Kiang,
Operation Manager Chong Kim, OSO Mdm Ong Kim Chor and
Mdm Syamala, just to name a few.
We also have a number of very senior Pioneer Generation
Educators who are still teaching or serving in our school. They
are Retired Principals Mr Billy Goh, Mr Thomas Ong and Mr
Johari, Retired HODs Mr Watt Chan Meng, Mrs Chew Suit Mei,
Teachers Ms Agnes Yong, and OSO Mr Ng Poh Huat.
Please join me to thank all our Pioneers and Seniors, once
again, for taking the time to come and join us on this joyous
occasion. You deserve our loudest applause today as you not
only have served Juying Secondary, you have played a key role
in the progress and development of modern Singapore today.
Please allow me to share some of the contributions of our
pioneer staff who started Juying Secondary.
Living the Legacy – Special Mention of Pioneer
Educators of Juying Secondary vis-à-vis JY20
Our founding Principal, Mrs Lee Yin Ling, played a significant
role in starting and building up a new school which has grown
to what it is today, from the earliest campus in the 4th level
of Pioneer Secondary, to the former Jurong Institute premises
which is now our present site. Her visionary leadership and
exceptional people management skills had impacted many
staff members. Mr Michael Low, our Lead Teacher, remembers
Mrs Lee’s “fantastic motivation skills and her dream of making
the school to be the best secondary school in the west.” He
appreciated her care and concern for the personal well-being
and welfare of her staff which also extended to their families. In
his own words, “Such thoughtful leadership was what endeared
the staff towards Mrs Lee and made Juying a wonderful place
to be in.”
In addition, Mrs Lee co-wrote the lyrics of our school song
which we sang earlier on, together with one of our current
teachers, Mrs Choong Lay Len. Her talent also extends to
Chinese Calligraphy that resulted in the creation of a Spring
Couplet which is still hung at the front of the school building
during Chinese New Year. Her couplet encourages all of us to
create a conducive learning environment in the school. One of
our senior teachers, Mdm Sophia Goh who remembers Mrs Lee
fondly has this to say, and I quote, “Mrs Lee has impressed a lot
of younger staff for her self-discipline and learning. Mrs Lee set
a very good tone, created a great learning environment for the
school and she is an excellent example of one who never stops
learning. Even after she retires, she continues to write books.”
Thank you, Mrs Lee for being an inspiration to our teachers.
Working alongside with Mrs Lee is one of our longest serving
Vice-Principals, Mrs Tay Kheng Siong, who helped to compose
the school song. Due to her passion in music, Mrs Tay started
6 7

the JYian Talent Time. She is fondly remembered by staff
and students as someone who is firm and yet caring. She has
a big heart and initiated the fund raising staff auction cum
performance “Crouching Teachers, Hidden Talents” in 2003
– a charity concert in aid of the student foundation by Jyian
Teachers for Jyians.
Many of the teachers remember Mdm Syamala, as a very
responsible and dedicated Operations Support Officer. She has
a radiant smile that brightens up the office and her presence
brings cheers to both the staff and students. Mrs Choong shared
with me that even to this day, Mdm Syamala is still concerned
about the well-being of the staff and the achievements of the
school.
One of our pioneer teachers who joined Juying Secondary
in the founding years and is still teaching here is none other
than Cikgu Sies. Cikgu Sies, who is turning 69 this year, is
also celebrating his 50th anniversary of service in education.
Starting off as a teacher in Permai Sura Primary School in 1965,
Cikgu Sies overcame many challenges faced by many pioneers
such as having very little resources and educating students
during Singapore’s turbulent years. His philosophy which was
to “Give his best to every Child” – is one he still lives by today
as a teacher in Juying Secondary. Cikgu Sies instils values and
discipline in his students inside and outside the classroom, as a
Malay Language teacher as well as a soccer coach.
I am sure that all our pioneer educators who are here this
evening bring with our students and staff lots of wisdom and
experiences in their many years of dedication to the education
service. The little anecdotes that I share will not be able to
do justice to the immense contributions they have done for
Singapore and our school.
Special Mention of Founding Chairman of Juying
Secondary
One person that I need to make special mention this evening
is our founding Chairman of the School Advisory Committee,
Dr Ong Ann Tee. Dr Ong has been awarded the prestigious
National Day award, BBM last year, to recognize his 20 years
of service to Juying Secondary. A supportive Chairman of all
school events, Dr Ong has always taken a keen interest in
the well-being of the students and has offered advice and
suggestions on how the school could better support the
students. Dr Ong has graciously donated a sum of money
and instituted the Ong Ann Tee Special Award for graduating
students who have achieved excellent value-added results and
have displayed exemplary behaviour. Dr Ong also sponsored
the Teachers’ Day Awards, which are aligned to the school’s
mission of Inspiring Learning, Inculcating Values and Impacting
Lives, and the R3IGHT awards which are aligned with the school
values to recognize staff who have demonstrated a fulfillment of
the school’s mission & values.
Thank you, Dr Ong, for your faithful support for Juying all these
20 years!
Juying Secondary School Report 2014
Now let me move on to present the School Report for 2014.
The school went through a re-envisioning exercise in 2013 and
we have in the last 2 years been integrating and streamlining
our various processes and programmes to better cater to our
students’ learning and development needs. Guided by our
shared mission of “Inspiring Learning, Inculcating Values &
Impacting Lives”, I would like to share with you this evening
the fruits of our effort and commitment under the 4 respective
strategic thrusts.
Strategic Thrust 1 – Achieving Academic Excellence
Our strategic thrust 1 is to achieve value-added results and I
am very pleased to announce that for the second consecutive
year, both the Sec 4 Express and 5 NA for the Class of 2014
have once again achieved outstanding value-added results at
the GCE O Levels examinations.
Outstanding results are seen in many subjects such as 4 Express:
46% Distinction for Combined Humanities; 47% Distinction
for Chinese; 44% Distinction for Malay; 100% Passes for
Science, Maths, Malay and Chinese. For Sec 5NA: we achieved
better than national averages for Malay, Chinese, Combined
Humanities and Science.
Despite our students coming from very humble background
with lower PSLE T-Score 1 as compared to the national average,
their achievements are commendable in terms of L1B5 and
L1B4 respectively, which are way above MOE’s expectation.
This is one of the best sets of Value-added results for Sec 4
Express results in the last decade, surpassing the breakthrough
results achieved by the Class of 2013!
The outstanding set of results is indeed a testament to the
consistent hard work of both the students and the teachers.
Congratulations to the class of 2014 and our teachers for
their breakthrough achievements in the 2014 GCE O Level
Examinations!
Strategic Thrust 2 – Achieving Character Excellence
To enable us to achieve our strategic goals of developing
character & citizenship values, knowledge, skills & competencies
as well as developing aspiring talent & healthy lifestyle, we adopt
an integrated and progressive CCE approach. We leverage
various platforms to inculcate the school’s R 3 IGHT values as well
as develop our students’ social-emotional competencies.
One such platform is our Overseas Values In Action trips for our
Sec 3 students. Since last year, our Sec 3 students are given the
opportunity to perform service learning in a country that they
decide (eg China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand,
Vietnam). This learning platform provides them with a rich
learning experience and inculcates in them the school’s R3IGHT
values. Students who went on such trips last year came back
with a greater appreciation of our country and their families.
We were heartened to observe how our students demonstrated
care and teamwork when they were overseas.
Another platform is our CCAs which enable our students to grow
and develop. We have always stressed on the learning process
– what the students learn and instill in the midst of preparing
for competitions and performances. The CCA achievements
are just one of the many outcomes of the students’ learning
processes in our various CCAs.
I would now like to share with you some of our key achievements
for our CCAs in 2014 and 2015.
For the recent SYF Arts Presentations, our Symphonic Band
and Choir were awarded the Certificate of Accomplishment.
Our Cultural Dance and Hip Hop Dance were awarded the
Certificate of Distinction. These achievements would not have
been possible without the commitment and resilience of the
students and the teachers. Congratulations to the Aesthetics
CCA groups.
Later this evening, you will get to watch their performances
which they have presented at the 2015 SYF. Of special mention
is the Hip Hop Dance – you not only get to see their sleek dance
moves but you will also get to appreciate a touching real life
story that has been skillfully weaved into the performance. The
story is about the challenges a boy faced in life and how he
dealt with these challenges including the illness of his mother.
The Hip Hop Dance crew was recently invited to put up the
same performance at Deyi Secondary School’s Art Fiesta and
some of the audience teared as they were immersed into the
emotional story line. We hope you will be touched by their item
later on.
Our IT & Media Club continued to do us proud with their
sustained achievements in the various competitions they took
part in. Just to name a few, in 2014, they achieved 1st and 2nd
position for Engineering Explorer – Picomouse Competition,
2nd in Singapore Robotics Picomouse Competition –and
2nd in National Junior Solar Car Sprint. In 2015, they were
awarded Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Inter-school Picomouse
Competition @ Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

8 9

Our Uniformed Groups, comprising both the National Cadet
Corp (Sea) and the National Civil Defence Cadet Corp, achieved
the Bronze award for the Best Unit Competition and the Unit
Overall Proficiency Award respectively.
All these achievements – in both academic and character
development domains were made possible because we have
a strong team of caring, competent and empowered staff to
teach, guide and motivate our JYians to scale greater heights.
This brings us to our Strategic Thrust 3 – Developing caring,
competent and empowered staff to achieve Staff Excellence.
The teachers and staff members embrace the school’s HEARTS
ethos, striving towards the culture of care and learning with our
students and for our students.
Our teachers engage in weekly professional discussions in
professional learning teams to explore how they can address
the identified learning needs of students and collaborate to
create teaching resource packages.
In addition since the beginning of this year, supported by
the English Language Institute of Singapore (ELIS), we have
also adopted a whole school approach to promote effective
communication in English in the respective subjects. I am sure
you are aware that recently there have been discussions in the
news forums about how teachers should mark students’ work
and whether students should be penalized if they do not use
the correct terms in their answers. This is a timely reminder of
the importance of effective communication skills.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our teachers and
EAS who have always been very positive and committed and
always striving to do their best for our students – be it taking
care of their learning needs or their social-emotional and
financial needs. This evening, we will also be giving out the
MOE Long Service Awards to staff with more than 10 years of
long service. Thank you, staff of Juying Secondary!
As a school, we are well aware that we are part of a larger
community and that we could leverage one another to achieve
the best possible outcomes for our students.
Hence, we have Strategic Thrust 4 – Achieving Partnership
Excellence which drives our partnership efforts to build
supportive partnerships with our stakeholders and external
organisations.
Our School Advisory Committee, led by Dr Ong, has always
been very supportive of our school initiatives. The SAC shares
the same beliefs as the school that students are the focus in all
our decision-making and often explores ways with the school
on how we can better reach out to our students, especially
those from low -income families. The members indeed have
been very responsive to our requests for assistance – be it their
presence at an important event or giving financial support.
At this juncture, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr
Ong and Mr Andy Koh from the SAC for generously sponsoring
tonight’s dinner. Thank you, Dr Ong & Mr Koh!
on their programmes and resources to run our character
development programmes.
This year for example, we held our Annual Fitness Run at the
Singapore Discovery Centre and at the same time, we also
leverage on the NE exhibits and resources at the SDC to
promote citizenship values in our students.
We also have a close partnership with Tzu Chi, Lions Club,
Nanyang Citizens’ Consultative Committee and Nanyang Police
Division which provide the platforms for our students to do local
Values-In–Action projects – for example, the painting of the
flats of needy families in Nanyang division, and the recycling
programme with Tzu Chi. Lions Club has been generous in
providing sponsorship for our needy students for the past
years. Last year, Lions Club presented the school a donation of
$15,000 to support our needy students.
My sincere and heartfelt appreciation to all our partners who
have been supportive of our school and have played an active
role in the character development of our students.
We started our inaugural Partners Awards last year as a gesture
of our appreciation for the collaboration and support of our
partners. This year, we will be giving out the awards to members
of our Juying Parents Support Group – Mr Thomas Loh, Mr
Dickson Kang, Mrs Wendy Neo and Mdm Karen Chng as well
as 2 of our working partners, the Singapore Discovery Centre
and Nanyang Citizens’ Consultative Committee.
Our heartfelt gratitude to our partners and parents!
To conclude, I would like to congratulate the students and their
parents, who will later be receiving prizes for their academic
achievement.
To the students, well done! As the saying goes, you reap what
you sow - your efforts in pursuing academic excellence have
indeed paid off! Be appreciative of the people who have been
supporting you – your parents and your teachers. For the
students who have graduated, I hope you will continue to do us
proud and be good and useful citizens of Singapore, anchored
by the school’s R3IGHT values and contribute meaningfully to
the society.
To the parents present this evening, thank you for your support
for the school all this while and the trust you have placed in the
school and the teachers! Thank you for working with us to do
what is best for your child’s growth and development.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the following
persons too:
Mr Alvin Yeo, our GOH for gracing this occasion – your
presence this evening has definitely made today’s celebration a
memorable one for all of us.
Mr Richard Dawson, our cluster superintendent – your trust and
support for Juying Secondary all these years and your presence
this evening are very much appreciated by all of us here at
Juying.

headed by Mr Thomas Loh as the Chairman and Mrs Candy
Teo as the Vice-Chairman. Both have recently relinquished
their posts but will continue to serve as advisors to the new
JPSG EXCO. I would like to thank Mr Loh and Mrs Teo for their
commitment and their leadership. And I would now like to
take the opportunity to introduce and welcome the new JPSG
chairman, Mrs June Lee, and the Vice-Chairman, Ms Christine
Sim. Welcome, Mrs Lee & Ms Sim.
The organizing committee for today’s celebration – your
positive attitude, hard work and patience especially with all the
last minute changes are indeed commendable!
Last but not least, our special guests – our pioneering staff and
senior staff of Juying. Thank you once again for spending the
evening here with us. We hope you will have the opportunity to

vision
Every JYian a self-directed learner, an innovative individual
and a confident team player
We hope to prepare JYians for tomorrow’s rapidly changing
world by providing them with the opportunity to think creatively
and thus develop an inquiring mind. In building a community of
gracious and lifelong learners, we envision all JYians to believe in
their own abilities thus becoming independent learners, creative
thinkers and confident team players.
This is in alignment with the school’s OYSTER philosophy in which
we believe that every student can learn, and that our objective
is to provide a nurturing environment for each JYian to develop
creative and critical thinking skills so that they will be able to “shine
and illuminate any organisation they may enter in the future” with
these skills required of an effective artist, nutritionist or engineer.
Long term goals
1) To develop JYians into confident and competent communicators
2) To develop a strong reading culture amongst JYians
3) To achieve value – added results in English Language
To achieve our department vision of Every JYIAN an effective
communicator using Standard English, the English Language &
Literature Department built on the following key areas from last
year:
1. The Extensive Reading Programme (ERP): The department
embarked on a differentiated approach this year and subscribed to
the Straits Times newspapers and Beyond Magazine for the Upper
Secondary, and the National Geographic Magazine for the Lower
Secondary. We continued with the weekly sharing of news articles
to reinforce the importance of keeping up-to-date with current
events as well as appreciate the use of language in the newspapers.
To promote active reading, we invited our Vice-Principal, Ms Wong,
to give a book talk on the popular Young Adult title ‘The Fault in
our Stars’ by John Green. HOD/Humanities Ms Nurul shared ‘The
Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ by John Boyne, and Year Head, Mrs
Amy Yeo, presented ‘The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother’ by
Amy Chua. These were well-received by our JYians. JYians were
encouraged to keep a log of the books they had read and were
given opportunities to tell others the books they had read, either in
class or at the Speaker’s Corner.
2. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP): The ALP is in its second
year of running, and the department carried out the following
programmes to build competent and confident speakers:
a. Competent Pronunciation through Storytelling for Sec 1. In
addition, our Secondary 1 students dramatized scenes from
their Literature text, Sing to the Dawn.
b. Confidence and Expression through Drama for Sec 2. The
Secondary 2 students learnt how to express themselves
confidently through drama in putting up skits based on their
Literature text, Street of the Small Night Market.
c. Confidence in Public Speaking for Sec 3. The Secondary 3
students learnt how to present their opinions clearly and
competently through group activities and presentations.
d. We continued to provide students with opportunities to
perform or speak at various platforms. In particular, we sought to
build confident speakers by encouraging JYians to address crowds
at Speakers’ Corner on issues they were interested in, about the
books they were reading, and also their reflections on the
learning from the level camps and Values-in-Action trips.

Humanities
Mathematics
“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”
Such is a famous Confucian quote.
This year, with all the levels roped in for the Humanities Inquiry Approach, learning in Humanities subjects Geography, History and
Social Studies is question-driven with reliance on evidence and knowledge construction by the students. Students become engaged
learners as they take on roles as reflector, explorer, critical thinker, knowledge producer and reporter. Students also participated in
local competitions such as Singapore Geospatial Challenge 2015 and iTrails Competition 2015 to increase their understanding of
the Humanities subjects and at the same time interact with students from other schools.
It is a year filled with even more field studies organised by the department in fulfilling the Geographical & Historical Investigation
learning experience for the students:
Sec 1 GI: Field Study at Japanese Garden
GI question: Will our taps run dry?
Sec 1 HI: The Maritime Experiential Museum (Hidden Cities Unearthed + Typhoon Theatre)
HI question: What was Singapore like before 1819?

vision
“Every JYian a reflective learner with strong mathematical
foundation to excel in an ever-changing world”
MISSION
Inspiring Learning, Inculcating Values, Impacting Lives
Long term goals
1) To inspire a love for Mathematics in JYians
2) To inculcate confidence in JYians to apply Mathematics to
real world problems
3) To impact the lives of students to be a Reflective, Self-directed
and Collaborative learner
2015 started out on a positive note with the release of the GCE
‘O’ Level examination results for the previous cohort of students,
showing that for both Additional and Elementary Mathematics,
our students had done well.
The Secondary 4 Express students performed above expectations
for Elementary and Additional Mathematics while the Secondary
5 Normal Academic students performed within expectation.
At Juying Secondary, various programmes are implemented that
cater to the needs of both our high and low ability students in
the learning and mastery of Mathematics.
Our main programmes
1. ICAN programme (Improving Confidence and Achievement
in Numeracy)
ICAN was continued for the second year running. Lessons
are made more interactive with clear objectives set out by the
teachers. This enhances the ability of the students to retain
their knowledge and skills.
2. FGC (Focus Group Clinics), NTU-BP mentoring programme.
These programmes enable students to receive additional
support from teachers as well as student mentors from NTU.
3. Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) Training.
For students with higher ability, a 5-day training session was
organized for them. Students were exposed to questions that
require greater problem solving skills and of various contexts.
They also participated in the AMC competition and have
achieved positive results for the past 4 years.
4. Use of e-learning platform
ICT tools were used to help students understand mathematical
concepts through visualisation. An e-learning platform with
applets and self-marking exercises enabled students to view
lessons anytime and this promotes independent learning.
5. Professional learning for teachers
Teachers spend their time every week to discuss good teaching
practices and aspire to teach more effectively.
This year, the Mathematics teachers were engaged
in creating lessons involving a focus on subject literacy.
Various methods were discussed in order to help students
retain knowledge and understand concepts better. All
teachers also went through a course on Assessment for
Learning which helps teachers better assess students’
learning.
Our Achievement this year:
Australian Mathematics Competition
- 1 Distinction 11 Credits and 34 Proficiency Awards.
- Congratulations to Jacqueline Salim (4E1) for achieving Distinction
at the competition.

MISSION
To cultivate lifelong learners with an awareness and
interest in the application of Science in their daily lives
Objectives:
1) To cultivate students’ perception of Science as a collective way of

competencies. This extends to the effective use of social media
and ‘cloud’ platforms. With higher Internet speed, working with
online cloud platforms like Google Drive, Google Documents &
Forms have become increasingly vital skills for the
21st century learner. Lessons include collaborative
document editing, collaborative sharing and online
graphic editing. Students were required to gather
authentic data from their peers on Google Forms
which were later fused into their Cyberwellness
Infographics projects – combining charts, graphics
and researched information. This constructivist

perseverance. Some of our Secondary 1 students also took part
in the Scientific Thinking Program held by Republic Polytechnic
and learnt to apply the Scientific Method to propose to them the
making of hair straightening cream.
1. Sec 4NT N-Level ‘NT Science’
2. Sec 4NA N-Level ‘Science(Physics/Chemistry)’
3. Sec 4NA N-Level ‘Science(Physics/Biology)’
4. Sec 4Exp O-Level ‘Science(Physics/Chemistry)’
5. Sec 5NA O-Level ‘Science(Physics/Chemistry)’
Our first batch of 5NA O-Level ‘Science(Physics/Biology)’
students has also done everyone proud by matching the national
percentage distinction.
2015 is yet another fruitful year for both Science teachers and
JYians. Apart from achieving academic excellence, we believe
in the holistic learning of Science. Through learning journeys
and competitions, we enrich students’ knowledge of science
and its relevance to our world. Our Secondary 1 students
expanded their separation technique concepts to obtain clean
drinking water at the NEWater Visitor Centre. They also learnt
how Singapore has turned our limitation into strength through
Our Secondary 2 students visited the Sungei Buloh Wetland
Reserve and were captivated by the vast species of organisms
living in the mud land. Some of our Secondary 2 students were
also selected for the GliderFest course this October and will
take part in the competition in 2016. Our Secondary 3 students
attended their Science related workshops at the Singapore
Science Centre. While our Biology students were busy studying
enzymatic activities, our Physics students had a lot of fun
applying the concepts of heat transfer and cooking with electric
irons!
In Juying, we believe great teachers develop great students.
This year, our team built on one another’s ideas to design
an inquiry-based project package, via the department’s
Professional Learning Circle. The aim was to instil in our students
a deep interest for Science and apply their critical thinking
skills. Selected secondary 1 and 2 classes took on the project
which allowed them to conduct self-directed research and
collaboration in groups to design and test out their scientific
product. This experience also refined our mastery in addressing
students’ needs when we plan lessons that involve inquiry.
As always, student centricity is our core and we will continue to
make our students’ learning engaging, enriching and effective.
ICT Programmes
The IT Department harnesses technology to provide an enriching
learning experience to all JYians. We aim to build a pervasive
culture of promoting effective use of ICT into the school
curriculum to enhance pedagogy that engages collaboration and
self-directed learning. In order to maximise learning moments,
the following programmes are being implemented:
1. E–Learning
There was an e-learning day on 17th April in Term 2 to promote
independent learning of students who were given a platform to
experience self-directed learning and collaborative learning via
the use of IT from home. It also served to simulate a situation in
case of school closure due to any possible emergency situations.
Lessons and homework, in the form of e-lessons, e-tutorials and
e-assessments, were posted on the school learning portal and
assigned to students who completed them from home. The use
of the portal helped to facilitate self-paced mastery. An online
forum was catered for learning with queries and feedback from
teachers.
2. SCRATCH Programming & Coursework
All Sec 1 to 2 pupils were involved in the “Code for Fun”
programme, using SCRATCH programme or Coursework (CPA)
in Semester 1. These are tools which integrate technology into
the curriculum to develop 21st century skills. For “Code for Fun”
programme, it is to provide basic coding experience to lower
secondary pupils as enrichment. It is to develop and enhance
logical thinking and problem-solving skills through coding and
storyboarding. Through this programme, we hope to enthuse
and raise awareness among pupils about computing so as to
groom and develop talents in this area. Pupils are also able to
communicate their thoughts in e-Forums and are encouraged to
explore new open tools online to present their reports.
3. IT Enrichment Programme (ITP)
With the growing complexity and need for 21st century
knowledge among the future working population, MOE has
prescribed a baseline ICT standard across all Singapore schools.
In order to meet these baseline requirement in ICT standards, all
of Juying’s Lower Secondary pupils went through a compulsory
IT Enrichment Programme (ITP) which is incorporated into
curriculum time.
approach provided an authentic and experiential learning
experience for our students.
Other programmes:
• Assignments with project scenarios on Microsoft Excel to
enhance spreadsheet skills
• Introduction of eMindmapping as an e-platform for students to
synthesise and summarise their subject learning, e.g. in
Science and Geography.
• Creating Personal Learning Channels on Youtube to consolidate
various tutorial videos .
• Introduction of Vector graphics creation on Inkscape to equip
students with skills to create badges, seals and ribbons ; items
commonly found in commercials & advertisements.
• Knowledge and usage of Wordpress.com to help students
consolidate projects.
SG50 Graphics Design Competition
Students also participated in the Nanyang CC SG50 Graphics
Design Competition. Juying Secondary had the most number of
winning entries when our students won 14 of the Top 50 Prizes.
To further broaden media production skills, students were
introduced to video editing on iPad using the in-built iMovies
application. They were taught the fundamentals of video making
based on the themes of SG50, Cyberwellness and Teachers’
Day. The module included video creation essentials such as
storyboarding, scriptwriting, video shooting/framing and
editing. These processes aimed at encouraging creative thinking
and collaborative learning as students were required to work in
teams to come up with original storylines.
4. Learning Platform
ICT department has initiated the use of IPads to promote
self-directed learning. Learning journeys assisted by ICT have
spurred student’s interest in learning. Using QR codes; iPads with
the adventure of roaming around to find out answers motivated
the students to learn. On another front, the promotion of use of
the Learning Management System (LMS) will act as the common
platform for all communications and evaluation. Encouraging
constant use of this platform allows both students and teachers
to seek quick responses to problems students may face.
Through the use of technology, we hope to maximise every
learning opportunity by being current, student-centreed and
future thinking.

Secondary One R 3 IGHT Camp
and Installation Ceremony
Secondary Two R 3 IGHT
Camp – Relationship Mastery
8-9 JANUARY 2015
The Secondary One R 3 IGHT Camp served to orientate the
Secondary One students to the new school environment.
They experienced the importance of respecting self
and others through the camp team building activities
and interaction with others. Under the guidance of
the Student Leadership Development teachers, our
Secondary 4 student leaders facilitated the camp.
The Secondary One Installation ceremony was one of
the highlights for the new Secondary One students. Each
student received a JYian pearl from their form teacher
to mark their formal inclusion into the JYian family. This
pearl signifies the inculcation of the school values of
R 3 IGHT: Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity,
Graciousness, Humility and Teamwork.
The Juying Scholarship Presentation Ceremony was
also held during the camp. The scholarship was for
the top students of the 2014 Secondary 1 Express,
Normal(Academic) and Normal(Technical) cohorts who
have chosen Juying Secondary school as their first
choice.
28-30 MAY 2015

This year, the Secondary 2 R³IGHT Camp was
held at Amoy Quee Camp, National Cadet
Corps (NCC) Head Quarters. It was led by
the Juying Outdoor Education team and
instructors from Tomo Training Consulting
Group Pte Ltd (TTCG), and supported by a
group of dedicated teachers, who supervised
the campers through all activities and
reflections.
It was a privilege to conduct our camp in
an army campsite where campers had the
opportunity to experience sleeping in a
balsa (an outdoor tent structure) and military
bunks. This year marks the 50th anniversary
of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), thus
making it significant and meaningful for
the students to learn more about the SAF
and the sacrifices that the SAF has made
to protect and defend Singapore in times
of need. The campers benefitted from the
SAF Veterans League personnel who shared
their knowledge and experiences, defining
the importance of teamwork to achieve a
common goal as people are Singapore’s
only resource. The campers understood the
importance of defending our country and
that we should never take the peace and
security that we enjoy now for granted.
The highlights of the camp included the
high elements, the Motivational Obstacle
Course (MOC) and Paintball. High elements
comprised the zip-line and challenge pole
where campers challenged to overcome their
fears of height. Group members provided
cheers of encouragement and enthusiastic
applause whenever a camper overcame an
obstacle. Campers also had the opportunity
to go through the MOC which included the
high wall and nitro crossing. The campers
displayed their fighting spirit
and camaraderie in a game
of paintball. The game’s
objective was to capture
the opponent’s flag. It was
heartening that every group
displayed excellent teamwork
in team-bonding activities.
We were honoured to have
Commandant NCC, LTC Yeo
Yew Kuan, as the Guest-of-
Honour for the campfire night.
Parents and family members
were also invited to enjoy
performances by our talented
JYians. As the camp concluded,
campers learnt the importance
of teamwork, a greater sense
of social responsibility and the
commitment to show care and
concern for each other.
The Secondary
2 R³IGHT Camp
had been exciting
and memorable.
The valuable
lessons learnt and
friendships forged
would definitely
remain in the hearts
of all campers in the
years to come.

Objective
- Nurturing leadership qualities in Secondary Two student
leaders through outdoor experiential learning
This year, Pulau Ubin was the destination for our Secondary Two
leaders for their LEAD camp. Guided by the Juying Outdoor
Education team and Camelot instructors, and assisted by a team
of committed teachers, our leaders experienced and reflected
upon daily decisions and actions to foster their own growth in
experiential learning.
Demonstrating the R³IGHT Core Values, the leaders conquered
various fears through each distinct activity. They displayed
budding teamwork and respect for nature for their VIA task and
resilience for their night confidence walk. Although the sea and
land expeditions stretched them physically and emotionally, the
leaders exhibited outstanding levels of resilience, responsibility
and humility as a team.
The LEAD camp had left an indelible imprint on the leaders’
training roadmap.

National Cadet Corps (Sea)
National Civil Defence Cadet Corps
Vision
To develop responsible, respectful and resilient cadets
to face the challenges of the changing world and be
successful citizens.
Mission:
To nurture committed cadets who are resourceful,
responsible, resilient, loyal leaders and team players
through fun and challenging military-related activities.
Long Term Goal:
To groom our cadets to show greater social
responsibilities and to take on an increased ownership
of their school, unit and committee
The year of 2015 has been a memorable one for our enterprising
NCC (Sea) coeducational Unit.
The recruitment drive for junior cadets marked a positive
beginning as we were able to attract 21 recruits to our NCC
(Sea) family, boosting our cohort numbers.
For 2014, the NCC unit achieved the Bronze Award in the Annual
Best Unit Competition. NCC’s objective is to provide our cadets
with a holistic learning experience which consists of multiple
activities that aim to inculcate life skills such as confidence,
leadership and perseverance. Through numerous physical and
mental challenges, we develop our cadets by imparting a sense
of national pride and social responsibility within each of them.
Our cadets have done us proud during the sea competition,
securing champion for Bends and Hitches and a creditable finish
in Kayaking. They have displayed a keen sense of fighting spirit
and determination against strong competition from rival schools
to attain these achievements.
Bends and Hitches
Female Cadet Leaders: Champion
Kayaking Competition (Singles)
Female Junior Cadet: 3rd
Female Senior Cadet: 4th

Female Senior Cadets: 4th
This year as we celebrate 50 years of our nation’s independence,
we look back through the 50 years and remember the importance
of the SAF in the defence of our nation. NCC is humbled to be
part of this process through the nurturing of future leaders and
soldiers.
Vision
A choice uniformed group that equips our youths with
life-saving skills for challenging times ahead.
MISSION
To nurture and develop our youths into resilient and
responsible citizens through innovative and challenging
Civil Defence activities.
National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC) was introduced
to the school in 2007 and aims to develop the strengths,
characters and knowledge of cadets. Our team of teachers
strives to develop each cadet into a responsible and civicminded
citizen. We also aim to nurture and mould the
leader-ship skills in every cadet. Through a rigorous 4/5 year
programme, cadets were provided with various opportunities
and platforms such as the NCDCC Service Week Learning,
Speech Day Parade, Nanyang Observance Ceremony and Unit
Annual Camp to bring out the best in our cadets.
The secondary one recruitment drive marked the start of an
eventful year where a total of 26 cadets were recruited into our
NCDCC family. Through the fire safety training at HQ, the first
year cadets were introduced to the importance of appreciating
the need for Civil Defence in Singapore. Second year cadets
attended adventure training camps which aimed to develop the
values of Resilience, Graciousness and Teamwork in them.
Third and Fourth year cadets led the unit by applying what they
had learnt during leadership camps and courses, such as the
SNCO Course, with the aim of cultivating the value of Humility,
Integrity and Teamwork in them.
The highlight of the year was the Nanyang Observance
Ceremony where our unit was given the opportunity to be the
Guard of Honour. As we celebrated 50 years of our nation’s
independence, our cadets also learnt the importance of nation
security and that everyone plays a part in defending Singapore.

Badminton
Basketball
Vision
Healthy Bodied and Moral Minded Jyians
MISSION
To train & develop the fullest potential of students in the
CCA so that they are physically fit, proficient in the skills,
tactics and strategies of Badminton
2015 marked a special year for the Badminton Team at Juying
as we welcome our first Girls’ Team. Despite being in the school
team for only a few weeks, they took up the challenge to
participate in the West Zone Tournament. Their determination,
strength and resilience were tested but through the experience
they were exposed to the grit required henceforth.
In addition, our ‘B’ Boys did our school proud by entering the
2nd round of the West Zone Tournament. Each match was a
tough fight but students rose to the occasion by displaying the
R 3 IGHT values. This was seen in their spirit on the court as well
as taking charge of deciding on crucial roles such the fixtures,
linesmen and umpires for each match.
It has been said, “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.” At
Juying Secondary School, learning takes precedence. Students
who choose Badminton as their Co-Curricula Activity (CCA) go
through a rigorous training plan. Training sessions are held twice
a week. These typically include basic strokes and techniques as
well as basic footwork and court movement. Sports Psychology
is another domain students develop. Students are also entrusted
with leadership positions. While the Captain and Vice-Captain
oversee and guide the team, the Lower Secondary team leaders
are crucial members of the CCA who help to foster discipline,
team spirit and sportsmanship. We believe these are the values
and skills that will keep us going.
2015 has been an exciting year for us. From the many friendly
matches with different schools to the National Inter-school
Tournament and the Community Basketball League, our boys
displayed strong resilience and teamwork when faced with
strong opponents. They did not give up when the going got
tough and have shown a good improvement over last year’s
performances. Our ‘B’ division players, Fabian Lim and Darren
Garcia even had been interviewed and written by Red Sports
which added a feather to our hat.
However, the Juying Basketball team is not just about
tournaments and playing basketball. Character building and
leadership are equally emphasized upon. We engage in regular
team-building activities to promote team spirit. Recognition
of efforts and initiatives serve to motivate our boys and hence
leadership is developed through training.
We had the pleasure of attending the SEA Games to support
Team Singapore Basketball and experience the standard of
the national players. We also went for the SEA Games tour to
support the other games. In November this year, we will be
conducting a Combined Sports VIA Camp for our players and
the boys will be organising a basketball competition for the
primary school players.
Vision
Basketball Club aims to develop JYians to be Healthy
Bodied and Moral Minded sportsmen who strive for
excellence on and off the courts.
MISSION
Strengthen the JYian Basketballers’ physical stamina
and mental endurance through self-discipline, selfconfidence
and self-esteem, and develop JYian
Basketballers’ character and sportsmanship by fostering
camaraderie and social integration.
The followings are the 5 aspirations of a JYian Basketballer.
1. I am not a JYian Basketball player. I am a JYian LEADER who
happens to play basketball.
2. Our hearts have to be in whatever we do.
3. During critical periods, a leader is not allowed to feel sorry for
himself, to be down, to be angry or to be weak. We must beat those
emotions.
4. Discipline is doing what we are supposed to do, in the best
possible manner, at the time we are supposed to do it.
5. There are 5 fundamental qualities that make a great team.
Communication, trust, collective responsibility, care and pride.
Each is like a separate finger in a fist, individually important and
unbeatable when together.

Football
Netball
vision:
A sporting community of JYian footballers who aspire
to achieve more and inspire others with their strength of
character.
MISSION:
- To encourage a vibrant team spirit amongst the school
population, regardless of background, race or stream
- To use the CCA as a platform for students to achieve
greater exposure to tactical knowledge, camaraderie in
the soccer fraternity and refereeing capabilities
This year has been momentuous for Juying Football. For the first
time, both our C and B Division teams made it to the 2nd round
of the West Zone Inter-School Football Championships 2015.
Through their perseverance and discipline on the field, our boys
kept the Juying flag flying high .
This would not have been possible without the care and
guidance of our CCA teachers-in-charge- Mr Lee Kah Hong,
Mr Ong Hok Beng and Mr Hanan. More notably, our teacher
and coach, Mr Sies Senan had led the team with his tactical
knowledge of the game and was the reason behind our teams’
successful run in this year’s tournament.
Active and gracious netballers with
excellent sportsmanship
To develop a driven and committed team competent
in netball skills and leadership qualities, in a caring and
supportive environment.
The year began with the netball girls training hard for the
annual West Zone Tournaments. Despite injuries and tough
opponents, they displayed strong resilience and teamwork,
beating several schools and obtaining personal bests. The M1
Challenge followed closely after, where our ‘C’ Division played
very well and clinched the Silver medal! Though trainings were
tough, netballers maintained discipline and never failed to
encourage one another. Through perspiration, challenges, and
tears at times, they have developed leadership, forged strong
bonds and created fond memories. Netball also has a team
of enthusiastic seniors, who are actively involved in friendly
matches with the juniors. We look forward to more bonding
at the year-end ‘Sports Camp’, and greater achievements next
year!
Our C boys’ team, Juying Galacticos, has also clinched 2nd place
in the Sports ‘Xperience Street Soccer Tournament 2015 @ Ulu
Pandan CC, which witnessed them compete against 32 other
teams across Singapore. It was also significant as we had sent
in a competitive girls’ team for the first time in this competition!
Despite bowing out in the round-robin stage, we recorded our
first 1-0 win against the team from Hong Kah Secondary School!
Well done Juying Football!
We will also be organizing the Combined Sports Camp
in November where the boys will plan a tournament for 6
primary schools in our cluster. Through this camp, we hope
to reach out to more aspiring footballers, share and learn
through our interactions with other CCA members. May Juying
Football continue to build on our successes and attain greater
achievements in the coming year!
Majulah Juying!

Every JYian An Artist Within
MISSION:
- To build aesthetic awareness and develop artistic and
creative abilities.
- To develop confident Jyians who are innovative and
self-directed learners.
- To be a responsible and concerned citizen who
contributes back to the society aesthetically.
- To develop a strong attitude of care, appreciation and
empathy in our Jyians.
Juying Art Club provides opportunities for students to broaden
appreciation of visual arts, showcase their creativity and critical
thinking, and deepen their technical skills.
We aim to broaden our aesthetic skills through learning journeys
to the Singapore Art Museum and to the on-site sculpture at
Marina Bay Sands which represents the current issues around
the world through the artistic interpretation of modern artists.
Art Club members gave expression to their creativity at the
SG50 Art Competition at Frontier Community Centre where
Juven Quak of Class 2A1 won the first prize and Heather Ng
of Class 2A1 received a consolation prize. Art works of our
clubbers were also selected for the ‘UNESCO Art Education
Week Cyber Exhibition’ based on the theme ‘Save the
Earth’. Our artists Juven Quak from 2A1, Heather Ng from
2A1, Nurhijannah from 2T1, Alicia Lim from 2A2 and Denise
Francesca from 1E2 has added jewels to the crown again.
Some of the wonderful artworks had been put up around the
school compound. Their efforts beautified school milieu. Art
club members have also contributed their artwork for Speech
day as gifts to our honourable guests.
Our Mission
To nurture every ELDDS member into a confident and
creative member, who is able to express himself/herself
articulately in the realm of oratory and dramatization via
the use of English.
In line with our targets & objectives, the ELDDS ‘hit the ground
running’ by putting up a skit during the February 2015 Chinese
New Year celebration. The skit ensured that the two themes of
Chinese New Year and Total Defence Day were merged. More
importantly, the skit involved both the senior members and
the new members from Secondary One. The members found
the experience of staging a skit in front of the whole school a
rewarding one.
Besides the usual drama sessions where the members practiced
various skills in basic acting and speech, we polished our skills
by attending a professional drama training session at the Drama
Club. Here members were introduced to Shakespeare’s The
Tempest and had to come up with a short skit in groups. Prior
to this, the members were shown video clips of the play to get
them prepared for the session.
For the weekly sessions, the members are trained to write short
skits based on selected themes. They are also taught about
stage positioning, the use of props and the creative adorning of
costumes. Besides these, the proper use of voice when acting
is emphasised.
An outing to the West Coast Park was organised with the
members planning games that were related to drama skills.
They also used this time to get to know one another better. The
members truly found it meaningful and enjoyable.

SECONDARY 2
Water is the theme of Secondary Two Green Club activities for
this year.
Secondary 2 members were given the experience of doing
research to come up with a plan of how to filtrate water. One
of the trials they did was to make use of fruit skin/peels to
filtrate soil water. Even though it was unsuccessful, it was a good
learning experience to recognise the difficulties involved in this
important yet challenging task which is prevalent worldwide.
Through this process, they also learnt about the various water
issues faced by different countries worldwide.
They were also brought out to Jurong Park to participate in
the water trail activities and to experience what it takes to be
a guide at Jurong Park. They were exposed to the flora and
fauna present and also how they are able to make use of certain
apparatus to test for the water quality.
Research on various water ideas was done by students for them
to reflect on which idea stands out the most to them. Students
are also exposed to various news articles to keep them informed
on local and world water issues.
The Secondary 2 members participated in the poster
competition held by NEA which was anchored on Reduce,
Recycle and Reuse. Winning entries will be used on poster
designs and distributed to the community.

One Choir, One Voice
MISSION
We aim to become a versatile choir, one that is well
versed in traditional folk, classical choral and the latest
trendy pop music. We seek to transgress boundaries and
bring forth wondrous performances each time we step
on stage. We commit ourselves to becoming triple best
in – singing, dancing and acting. We strive to bring joy

transformations, we have evolved into a versatile choir that not
only does classical choral and traditional folk music, but also the
latest trendy pop tunes.
This year, Juying Secondary School Choir has been invited to
perform at numerous large-scale key events, such as the JYSS
20th Anniversary Speech Day Concert, Hong Kong – Singapore
Exchange Closing Ceremony Concert, SG50 Nanyang Constituency
Observance Ceremony Combined Finale Item and the Lion’s Club
Pioneer Generation Appreciation Lunch Performance.
The Cultural Dancers learn about the theories and practical skills
of different dance routines and are equipped with the values of
self-discipline, time management and other values that are in
line with the R 3 IGHT values of the school.
The Buddy System allows the juniors to mingle with the seniors,
a way to have a warm welcome for new members. Through the
Cultural Dance Camp, students learn more about each other,
valuing other opinions and views as well as respecting others’
races and religion. It also provides the opportunity for students
to display the value of graciousness, looking out for others and
portray teamwork in task assigned.
Dance Exchange Programme with other school widens the
students’ horizon in dance scene. The students develop their
dance skills through the variety of dance styles that they are
exposed to. This helps them to structure and strengthen their
knowledge of dances.
The Cultural Dance is actively involved in school performances
with a variety of dance styles such as Chinese contemporary to
celebrate Chinese New Year, Malay Contemporary dance for
SYF Arts Presentation 2015, Malay Dance for Prize Giving Day
and Hari Raya Concert and Modern Dance for Teacher’s Day
concert and Yellowren Competition 2015.
Under the guidance and training of our vocal and dance instructors,
Ms Deniece and Ms Safy, and the care and support of our teachersin-charge,
Mr Dayan Tan Ying Peng, Miss Lau Jia Yun, Mdm Mak
(1st Semester) and Mr Melvin (2nd Semester), the choir did the
school proud by clinching the Certificate of Accomplishment at
the Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation 2015, signifying the
choir’s progress in choral music making.
In Juying Secondary School Choir, students undergo an allrounded
arts education. Not only do students get to attend
musicals and music festivals, they also receive master classes from
industry practitioners and participate in exchange programs with
choirs from other schools. These enhance the students’ musicality
and deepen their sense of appreciation for music.

vision
A healthy community of iACE dancers with strength of
character
MISSION
To instill in iACE dancers a passion for dancing with
strong emphasis on technical foundation
The benefit of dance extends beyond keeping fit. Our dance
program focuses on developing transferable skills valuable
to our dancers while instilling technical skills. The confidence
gained through achievements increases self-esteem and our
robust training program helps our dancers develop resilience,
accountability and dedication. Participation in an art form also
gives the opportunity for a creative outlet.
To provide learning opportunities for all, we were actively
involved in school events such as Speech Day, Hong Kong
Exchange Program Closing Ceremony and the National Day
Nanyang Observance Ceremony. Several bonding activities have
also been organised to foster team spirit among the dancers.
This included attending the critically acclaimed CATS musical,
group study sessions before examinations and refurbishing of
the dance CCA room.
The Nutz Crew has done us proud this year. We were awarded
Distinction in the SYF Arts Presentation, Champion in the Pulse!
Street Dance Competition and
were finalists in the Super24
competition. In addition, the
dance crew was invited to
perform at the Chinese New
Year River Hongbao and Deyi
Secondary School Arts Fiesta.
These are attestations to our
dancers’ excellence which has
gained recognition in the Hip
Hop dance arena.
Objective
To develop responsibility, confidence appreciation
for music and team spirit through performance and
involvement
in a thriving musical community.
Singapore Youth Festival ARTs Presentation 2015
As with many other school bands in Singapore, the focus of the
JYSS Symphonic Band was on performing well at the Singapore
Youth Festival 2015. Right from the early months of the year,
band practices were intense and focussed on perfecting the
skills of every band member. Despite the tough competition,
we managed to perform to our expectations and attain the
Certificate of Accomplishment at the Singapore Youth Festival
Arts Presentation 2015. This was indeed a sweet fruit to the
arduous labour of our band members!
Speech Day 2015
In conjunction with the nation’s celebration of SG 50, Juying
Secondary School’s 20th anniversary, Speech Day 2015 was
a prestigious event with educators and pioneer educators
gracing the occasion. The JYSS Symphonic Band had the
honour of entertaining the crowd with popular tunes by such
as a medley of songs by One Direction and ‘Stand Up for
Singapore’. It was indeed an honour and a privilege to perform
at this extremely meaningful event.
National Day Nanyang Observance Ceremony
Celebrating the nation’s 50th birthday this year proved to be
significant for the JYSS Symphonic band as well, performing
for an audience of residents and students from the entire
Nanyang GRC at the National Day Nanyang Observance
Ceremony. Being responsible for the parade march past
and inspection melody, the JYSS Symphonic Band put
in their utmost efforts to ensure the precise coordination
of both contingents and guests of honour to the music.
Through conversations with some of the Band members,
many of them felt proud and honoured to be able to contribute
to the nation’s Golden Jubilee celebration. It will certainly
be a long-lasting memory for the band members.

CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
18 FEBRUARY 2015
Juying ushered in Chinese New Year (CNY) 2015 with a joint
celebration for Total Defence Day (TDD).
The celebration commenced with the Chinese Calligraphy writing
by Mr Seet and our partners; Mr Sam Ng Say Peng (SAC) and
Mdm Misnah Bte Tokijah (JPSG). The writing of the lovely artworks
symbolised the welcoming of the Year of the Goat and ushering
in prosperity.
This year, the teachers and students performed the customary act
of exchanging oranges and red packets. This tradition teaches
the students the importance of showing respect and maintaining
good relationships.
In commemorating TDD, the ELDDS presented a skit portraying
the invasion of the Japanese during Chinese New Year in 1942.
In relation to the theme for this year, “Our SAF, Giving Strength
to Our Nation”, this skit serves to remind us about not taking the
peacefulness of Singapore for granted. Everyone has a part to
play in keeping the nation safe and peaceful.
The concert kicked off with the Fashion Show where class
representatives paraded on stage in their festive costumes. We
were honoured to have our pioneer teachers, Mrs Choong, Mr
Sies and Mr Billy Goh as the judges for the fashion show.
Secondary 4E1 students amused the audience with an uproarious
performance of Three Sentences and A Half ( 三 句 半 表 演 ). The
Cultural Dance swept us away with their elegant and graceful
dance movements, and our Choir enchanted us with their vibrant
chorals. We were also enthralled by the melodious voices of our
teachers, Mr Dayan Tan, Mr Lee Kah Hong, Ms Seleena and Ms
Yang Wenqing.
A video presentation featuring staff and students’ well wishes for
Chinese New Year was also shown.
The highlight of the concert was the appearance of the God of
Fortune (played by Mr Rajes Kumar), who showered the students
with sweet blessings.
FITNESS RUN AND
INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY
17 APRIL 2015
On 17th April, our Fitness Run was held at the Singapore
Discovery Centre (SDC) and SAFTI Military Institute. We were
extremely proud to partner both SDC and SAFTI MI for this
event where students viewed international friendship day
exhibits at SDC before their 2.4km race at SAFTI MI. This was
a new experience for our students, staff and parents. On race
day, we were blessed with perfect weather in the morning
and together with their teachers and parents, students were
looking to clock their best timings for the 2.4km route. Isotonic
beverages were also kindly sponsored by 100-Plus to help us
cool down at the end of the run.
Our two emcees for the day, Miss Lynette Wong and Mr Yeo
Yong Kiat enthusiastically hyped up the crowd and led the
respective cohorts in the cheers. Psyched up by all the cheering,
the students warmed up and got ready. Our Principal, Mr Seet
Tiat Hee then flagged off the various categories.
Like previous years, our students, teachers and parents
displayed their resilience and competitive spirit during the run.
It was encouraging to see smiles on all the runners’ faces during
the event. There were students who clocked impressive timings
worthy of mention. Muhammad Thaqif of 4T1 clocked the
fastest time of 8 minutes 56 seconds for the boys and Rozene
Yap of 2E2 clocked the fastest time of 11 minutes 6 seconds
for the girls.
Competition between the cohorts was intense this year. After
tallying the scores, Secondary One Andes cohort emerged as
the Champion cohort for Fitness Run 2015!
We believe all participants had an educational learning
experience at SDC and an enriching run at SAFTI MI.
Congratulations to all who completed the race and all the prize
winners!
The concert ended with the singing of CNY and TDD songs.

HARI RAYA CELEBRATION
Sports Carnival cum Colours Award
cum National Day Celebration Ceremony
Juying Secondary School celebrated Hari Raya and Racial
Harmony Day (RHD) on 21st July 2015 and we are honoured to
celebrate this happy occasion with our guests from Hong Kong.
The Malay students from 3E1 and 3E2 kick started the celebration
with a Hari Raya song entitled “Setahun Sekali”.
This year, the celebration took JYians on a journey around the
world to catch a glimpse of how Muslims from different parts of
the globe celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri. It was a journey aimed
to build understanding and appreciation of different cultures,
customs and traditions; complementing the essence of Racial
Harmony.
The journey took us down memory lane whereby JYians revisited
the purpose and meaning of RHD. We were brought back to the
nostalgic eras of the 1960s to 2000s, witnessing how Hari Raya
was celebrated then.
The Fashion Show drew the most cheer from the audience. Teacherstudent
representatives from each class paraded on stage with
their colourful and unique ethnic costumes. JYians enjoyed the
comical yet amusing pose displayed by their teachers and friends.
This was followed by Kain Samping Tying Competition whereby a
few male teachers and students were invited to participate.
JYSS Cultural Dance never failed to captivate the audience with
their graceful and upbeat performance. This was followed by a
video presentation featuring staff and students’ well wishes on
Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
The concert ended off with an enthusiastic sing-along performance
by all the performers and teachers from MT Dept with a song
entitled ‘Selamat Hari Raya’.
6 August 2015
This year’s National Day festivities were particularly momentous,
as they would mark SG50 – Singapore’s milestone 50th year since
independence. The theme this year is “Majulah Singapura”. The
celebration of our Golden Jubilee on this special occasion calls on
Singaporeans to remember our roots, reflect on our achievements
over the last 50 years and anticipate the future with optimism.
The celebration in Juying Secondary began with an exciting Sports
Carnival for the Semi Final and Final of the Soccer, Floorball,
Captainball and Eliminator Games. The preliminary round was
played during the Mass PE. The Sports Carnival was organised by
our very own Sec 3 CCA Student Leaders guided by Mr Lee Kah
Hong.
After the Sports Carnival, the students went back to their class
and engaged in another interesting and meaningful activity. The
students had the opportunity to build the Singapore of the Future,
using the special SG50 edition LEGO sets they received on this
day. The activity enabled students to explore what it means to be
Singaporean and the society they want to build.
The National Day Celebration cum Colours Award Ceremony
started customarily with an observance ceremony led by the
school’s uniformed groups, followed by the Recollections led by
students from 2A2 and the National Day Message delivered by
our Principal, Mr Seet Tiat Hee from the Minister for Education Mr
Heng Swee Keat, which urged students – as the generation of the
future – to build onward a bigger and better Singapore.
The key highlight for this year is the SG 50 Charity Bears Presentation
ceremony. A cheque with an auspicious sum of S$8888 was raised
for Autism Association (Singapore), stemming from a project that
started with the “Values-In-Action” effort by our students during
our June Staff symposium. The “Adopt a Bear for Charity” (ABC)
project was a joint collaboration among students, staff and parents
where a total of thirty bears were handmade and auctioned in
support of Autism Association.
The Colours Award ceremony also took place, with awards being
given out to deserving students who have done well in the area
of Achievement, Leadership and Service, in recognition of their
contribution and accomplishment.
The climax of the day was the Grand Finale where the whole
school sang along the National Day Song of 2015 by Dick Lee
“OUR SINGAPORE”. The video presented along with the song
highlighted our past and the contributions of key leaders, especially
Lee Kuan Yew and the pioneer generation.

Creating Opportunities for the Pursuit of Excellence series
(C.O.P.E.s)
Objectives
The workshops are planned to assist the upper secondary
students to
- achieve the school ‘s Character and Citizenship Education
(CCE) learning outcomes.
- attain the CCE skills of reflective thinking, perspective
taking and responsible decision making.
- practise the values of resilience and responsibility.
The C.O.P.E. series of workshop was customised for the Upper
Secondary Students in Term One. The students of all graduating
classes attended a total of five sessions. The Secondary Three
students attended the C.O.P.E series of workshop in Terms Two
and Four.
In these workshops, the students learnt that it is possible to turn
our own imperfect circumstances, insecurities and weaknesses
into a source of strength and to overcome adversities. They
learnt that being successful is about self-actualisation, being able
to achieve personal growth and live a fulfilling and purposeful
life in accordance with our personal values and aspirations. The
students explored, clarified and strengthened their personal
motivations for wanting to be successful. The students were
also taught good learning skills, techniques and habits that will
enhance their long-term learning effectiveness and academic
performance.
Juying Students’ Centre – Chillax
JYians can unwind and socialise at Chillax, a recreation area created specially for them! This year, to ease the grant of stickers to
students who displayed the R 3 IGHT values and the 7 Habits, students need to collect only 3 stickers to gain entry to Chillax! Our
school is collaborating with Ms Cecilia Cortado from School Family Education (SFE), who supports by overseeing the running of
Chillax during operational hours. The Chillax Committee worked with the school’s Positive School Climate (PSC) Committee to
reward each winning class of the R 3 IGHT award (PSC) with a special Chillax session after the end-of-year examination.
Positive School Climate (PSC) Awards
To give recognition to students for exhibiting the R 3 IGHT values
The Juying Secondary Positive School Climate (PSC) awards are a set of awards that give recognition to our students for exhibiting
the school R 3 IGHT values. A total of 23 students, who represented their respective classes, were presented the Most Proactive
Student awards this year in Term Two. They exemplified the ideal student in Juying Secondary through their actions within and out
of the classroom, such as following up with their classmates who were absent from class. To recognise the collective efforts of classes
that contributed to the overall positive school culture, the Most Proactive Class awards were also given to each level. It has truly been
an encouraging year to see our JYians living out the school values!

Secondary 3 VIA and TIE
Programme
Education and Career Guidance (ECG)
Objectives:
- To provide an environment for the continued acquisition of skills and habits to ensure success in school
- To help students identify their skills, interest and values
- To facilitate career exploration from varied sources
- To provide information and guidance on continuing education, that is relevant to their career aspirations
The ECG team provides a variety of platforms to help
JYians in the development of attitudes, skills and selfknowledge
that will enable them to explore, understand
and make informed decisions with regard to their own
potential and prospective careers.
ACE 2015
We organised in-house Academic and Career Exhibition
(ACE) 2015 on 29th of June for the graduating students.
Through this interactive platform (World-Cafe style),
JYians were able to glean knowledge of the numerous
courses offered by the various higher learning institutions
and well as the prospects of furthering their studies
beyond diplomas and ‘A’ Level.
2-Day Polytechnic Attachment Programme
Interested Upper Secondary students were given the opportunity to experience polytechnic life through the 2-Day Polytechnic
Attachment Programme. The students gained an insight of Polytechnic education through the interactive workshops and simulated
lectures that they attended.
DPA Special Programme
The ECG Committee also organised the DPA Special Programme for the students. Graduating students attended structured
workshops on a 600-character DPA write-up as well as Interviewing Skills and Strategies.
Through these varied platforms and exposure, JYians were able to make informed decisions regarding their plans for the future.
Parent-Teacher Conference (PTC)
Partnership between the home and the school is crucial in the
development of a child. A strong communication between the
teacher and parent will enable the child to succeed, have a
strong confidence and to achieve better academic results. The
biannual parent-teacher conferences are useful platforms to
foster this partnership.
During the parent-teacher conference, time was spent discussing
on ways to help the child improve and develop holistically.
Apart from updating the parents on the child’s mid-year
academic results, social emotional issues were also discussed.
Goals were revisited and strategies to reach these targets
were deliberated during the conference.
Objectives of Event
- To provide opportunities for Juying students to
experience authentic learning in a foreign environment.
- To develop resilience, independence and self-reliance
through a Trips for International Experience (TIE)
experience.
- To develop social emotional learning through Values-in-
Action (VIA) experience
- To develop cultural sensitivity, awareness and a
globalised perspective of the world.
This year, our Secondary 3 students went to a few
countries for their Trips For International Experience (TIE).
These trips took place during end of May till early June.

These trips enriched our JYians’ lives as the VIA activities
taught them many heartfelt lessons as well as showed
them exactly how the locals lead their daily lives in the
respective countries.
For instance, 3E2 students who went to Vietnam
completed their VIA activities in an orphanage known
as Thu Duc Youth Village. Our students babysat the
children, fed them and even chaperoned them for their
vaccination. Our JYians took pride in folding clothes
and diapers as well as engaged the children in bonding
games. Beyond these tasks, our students painted the
orphanage and conducted English lessons. We were
gratified to see the joy and excitement expressed by the
children when our team organised a farewell party for
the children. Before our departure, we replenished the
stationery and provisions for the village home with the
funds raised by 3E2.
Apart from the Values-in-Action activities that we had there, there were
educational moments for our students. To enhance cultural awareness,
students visited the Ben Thanh market where we observed the daily
lives of the locals. We also left our footprints in the War Remnants
Museum, Reunification Palace, Water Puppet Theatre Show and the Cu
Chi Tunnels. The 3E2 students also managed to be master chefs when
they prepared and cooked the dishes for their dinner.
All in all, our JYians felt great to be able to impact the lives of others.
We look forward to more of such enriching opportunities in future.
Time-Out Programme (T.O.P.)
This year’s Time-Out Programme (T.O.P.) adopts a targeted approach
towards addressing the different needs of our at-risk students. Three
main groups of students were identified – students likely to benefit
from mentoring from teachers, students requiring professional
counselling to cope with addiction issues, and students requiring
guidance from the police. The three-pronged approach seeks to raise
the social-emotional competencies of the participants so as to help
them overcome personal, family or social barriers that may confound
their motivation towards schooling and hinder their performance in
learning. While they undergo different programmes and activities,
mass fun-filled activities were also organised to provide platforms
for participants and staff to build lasting relationships beyond the
classrooms and to enhance their overall schooling experience.

Programme
Student Leaders’
Investiture
6 APRIL 2015
This year’s Student Leaders’ Investiture is a first of its
kind in the history of Juying Secondary School, where
the three main groups of student leaders are given
recognition nd officiated in a single formal event.
The three groups of student leaders this year, comprise
the prefects, CCA leaders and the class leaders. These
student leaders have been carefully selected based on
the criteria of 4As, namely Attire, Attitude, Academic
and Attendance. This event was made possible by the
collaboration between the SLD/OE team as well as the form teachers
and HOD PE/CCA.
The involvement of the three groups of student leaders signifies a shift
towards encouraging more JYians to take up leadership positions in
the school and to ensure proper leadership training and development
during their journey as a leader in Juying Secondary School.
With a greater pool and presence of student leaders, we look forward
to a better learning and conducive environment for all our JYians.
On 28th and 29th of May , a group of Secondary 3 students
completed a meaningful Values-in-Action (VIA) project by
creating 12 hand-made bears. The students were taught by
a parent volunteer, Mrs Karen Seah to make the bears. Each
bear is unique and bears a birth certificate. The students
decided to sell the bears for charity and identified Autism
Association (Singapore) as the beneficiary.
As the demand for the bears was over-whelming, the entire
staff gathered during the Staff Symposium on 26th of June
to make more bears for this charitable act. We have named
this initiative “Adopt a Bear for Charity.”
We managed to find adopters for all the bears and raised
$8888 for Autism Association (Singapore). The cheque
presentation ceremony took place in school during National
Day Celebration on 6th of Aug. It was indeed a creative and
meaningful fund raising activity for the JYian family.

primary school student leaders. Evaluation was done at the end
of the camp and it was very positive.
The secondary school student leaders had come up with an
interesting theme and various exciting activities, which keep
the primary school student leaders motivated and engaged.
They enjoyed learning through physical activities instead of
classroom activities and this had certainly helped to keep them
involved.
At the end of the 2-day camp, the primary school student
leaders were observed to be more confident and they were
able to take charge of their own discussion and presentation.
They were also able to share their ideas and carry out activities
together as a team. The secondary school student leaders also

the W3 primary schools on 19 November 2015. The objectives
of the event are as follows :
1. A platform for skills and knowledge exchange exchange
amongst W3 cluster primary schools
2. To enable JYian athletes to demonstrate values-in-action (VIA)
through planning and organizing the sports event
As part of their Sports Camp 2015 VIA, our JYian athletes
worked together to organise the first W3 Primary School Sports
Competition held in Juying Secondary School. Our school
Principal, Mr Seet Tiat Hee, gave the opening address, where
he encouraged all athletes to put in their best effort, and to
enjoy and learn in the process. The event kicked off with JYian
athletes leading the warm-up sessions. This was followed by
the competition proper, whereby four different sporting events
took place simultaneously, creating a buzz of excitement and
hyping up the atmosphere greatly. Our young athletes, clad in
colourful school jerseys, displayed great talents, resilience, and
sportsmanship. Students and teachers from the various schools
also interacted and exchanged news, enabling the fostering
of bonds and building of friendships. Finally, the event ended
with a prize presentation and a combined photograph taking

14th Singapore – Hong Kong
Exchange Programme 2015
This 14th Singapore – Hong Kong Exchange Programme 2015
was an initiative between the Hong Kong Education Bureau
(HK-EDB) and Singapore’s Ministry of Education (MOE). The
annual exchange programme was first carried out in 2000 with
6 secondary schools from both countries with the following
objectives:
• To promote cultural exchange between participating
schools.
• To provide opportunities for students to broaden their
perspectives, learn social and language skills, and cultivate
respect for differences in culture.
When I was nominated to participate in the 14th Singapore
– Hong Kong Exchange Programme 2015, I was not really
interested. However, the teacher in-charge, Mr Rudie,
encouraged me not to give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
a miss. Hence, I went home and asked my sister what the
programme was all about. (My sister was also nominated for
participation in the 12th Singapore – Hong Kong Exchange
Programme 2013)
Upon learning about the programme, I started to get very
excited and I wanted to be involved in the programme. We had
many briefings and preparatory sessions before the programme.
For example, we had to learn basic Hong Kong culture, some
conversational Cantonese, as well as the mass dance which we
had to share with our buddies during the programme.
I was thankful for the teachers’ support and encouragement
throughout the months of preparation.
Finally, the Hong Kong students arrived in Singapore for the
first leg of the programme. I had to pick up my buddy, Herman.
I had communicated with him over social media over the past
months, and I was really feeling very excited about meeting him
face to face.
When I picked him up at Beatty Secondary School, I was very
shy and felt awkward as I never had to take care of people
whom I did not know much about. In the 14 days of the homestay
programme which followed, I began to appreciate what it
was to be a good buddy to someone else, and to take care of
him. We had our little fights and misunderstandings, but these
little fights and misunderstandings only served to strengthen
our relationship as buddies. We learnt more about each other,
our cultures and practices and became better and best of
buddies. On his last day in Singapore, I accompanied him to
the Universal Studio Sentosa and he was extremely happy. We
took roller coaster rides together and screamed till our spirits
soared high. Till this day, I still cherished those wonderful
moments we had.
Through my experience in the first leg of the programme, I learnt
that taking care of someone was challenging and involved a
lot of difficulties and responsibilities. I started appreciating my
parents for their never-ending love and care towards my sister
and I. I developed a deeper respect for my parents.
For Herman, I had also started to become fond of him.
After Herman returned to Hong Kong, I started to get ready for
my return trip to Hong Kong in November. While it was only
four months away, it felt like an eternity. Finally, it was the day
for me to fly over to Hong Kong with the rest of the Singapore
delegates for the return leg of the programme.
When I reached Hong Kong, I received a warm and pleasant
welcome and when Herman picked me up, he told me that
his mum had booked a restaurant for a welcome dinner.
I was shocked to hear that, and I started thinking about the
excitement of the next 10 days of homestay with him and his
parents.
I followed Herman to school daily, and participated in all his
school’s activities, just like how Herman joined me in the school
activities in the first leg of the programme. I found out that
Kings College was a very good school, an all boys’ school which
developed students holistically as leaders and learners. The
school also had very high expectations of it students.
The 10 days passed in the blink of an eye. I enjoyed every
moment we had together, going for runs in the evening,
challenging each other to take the “loopy” roller-coaster ride,
and the wonderful meals that Herman’s parents prepared for
me.
On the last day, many of the students involved in the programme
cried and I was about to cry too as I knew I would definitely miss
my buddy.
The experiences of the 14th Singapore - Hong Kong Exchange
Programme 2015 helped me learn the values, such as resilience,
respect and graciousness, and competencies, such as crosscultural
communication skills. Through the experiences, we
have built networks and strong bonds amongst the participating
students from Singapore, as well as the participating students
from Hong Kong.
Today, I am still in touch with Herman and we look forward to
our reunion in the near future.

Partnering External Organisations
Partnering SAC
vision
Together we build a gracious community with care in
partnership with our SAC.
MISSION
We seek to renew and strengthen the four key wellness
aspects of our staff, namely, body, brain, heart and soul.
We are committed to helping the school look after the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and
high morale of staff members working hand in glove with
our School Advisory Committee. We plan and organize
recreational events and activities that will contribute to
meeting these needs.
The SWC, with the support of the SAC, looks into the wellbeing
of the staff members of JYSS. In November 2014, the
SWC organised a two-day, one-night staff retreat to Pulai Spring
Resort in Johor Bahru to rejuvenate after working so hard for
the year. We had a lot of fun participating in bonding games,
enjoying the recreational facilities and having a fabulous buffet
dinner. In February 2015, a Chinese New Year ‘Lo Hei’ with
some members of the SAC present, was carried out for all staff to
celebrate the occasion together. In September this year, the staff
had a great time at Miramar Hotel celebrating our Teachers’ and
EAS’ Day. The theme, “If I were not a teacher, I would be…”,
to enable the staff to discover another side of themselves, was
chosen in consultation with all staff. We also gave out the “I3”
(Inspiring Learning, Impacting Lives and Inculcating Values)
and the “R 3 IGHT”(Responsibility, Resilience, Respect, Integrity,
Graciousness, Humility and Teamwork) Awards to staff during
the Teachers’ Day Dinner. Our talented teachers also conducted
classes for the staff during the post-exam activities period. Ms
Sonia and Mdm Hui conducted a cooking class for the staff.
The SWC had also organised a series of Sales@Lounge for the
staff to indulge in some retail therapy. “Fruit Day” was held
fortnightly to remind all the staff to eat more fruits and to stay
healthy always. We would especially like to thank the SAC for
their enthusiastic and generous support in all our staff events
and activities.

Staff in Action
Once A JYian Always A JYian
Alumni Activities
Juying Secondary School values every student – both
past and present. In our midst, we have more than
125 JYians who have updated their contact particulars
with us at our JYian portal and have kept the valuable
relationship strong.
One of the objectives of setting up the JYian Alumni is
to present opportunities for JYian family members to
bond and network. It also serves as a good platform
for our Alumni members to contribute their effort and
show concern for JYians who need all the guidance and
support they can get.
To encourage greater partnership, we have created a
new Facebook account and the first bonding session will
be held during the school’s Teachers’ Day celebration.
We hope you will join us in such bonding sessions.
Always Remember: Once a JYian Always a JYian!
