Literary and Orators
As in previous years, we continued our partnership with the National Library Board (NLB). Besides the school-based
mass borrowing sessions, our students also participated in the ‘Prove It!’ contest, organised by S.U.R.E. (Source,
Understand, Research, Evaluate), an initiative by NLB.
We organised a ‘theme-based’ interclass scrabble competition which saw Secondary 3 Integrity and 2 Endeavour
emerging as champions while Secondary 3 Justice and 2 Formidable 1st Runner-up for their respective cohorts. We
also sent two teams to compete in the 16th Inter-School National Scrabble Championship 2017. In addition, the Lower
Secondary studens participated in a number of competitions organised by us: Spelling Bee, mini-Toastmasters and
Book Treasure Trail.
Achievements
Our Mayflower debaters had an exciting year. Two teams participated
