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.

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.
