- Happy 39th Birthday, Singapore!
- Coming Up: Work Plan Seminar 2004
 
 
 

Schools around the island celebrated Singapore’s 39th birthday on Friday, 6 August 2004, in myriad ways. Here is a sampling of the colour and cheer.

Yo! Yo! What do you hear?
Singapore’s our country ever so dear!
Let’s give her now, a wonderful cheer!
S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E
S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E
Oh…Singapore! Yeah!


THIS CHEER was specially composed by Chongzheng Primary’s music teachers as a joyous tribute to Singapore. Dressed in their best red and white ensemble, pupils, staff and parents of Chongzheng celebrated the nation’s birthday with one voice.
 
 
AMONG THE
activities lined up at Dunman High School was face painting. Friends helped to paint each other’s faces, as a reminder that we cannot do it alone. Just as one cannot simply rub paint on your face and expect to come out looking gorgeous, it is only through teamwork and cohesion among all Singaporeans that success can be achieved.
 

PRESBYTERIAN
High School decided to celebrate National Day differently this year, so the whole school trooped down to historic Fort Canning Park to relive how Singapore achieved nationhood. They also worked together to make 10,000 flowers from recycled plastic bags, which they used to form a gigantic national flag.
 
 
LOVE FOR
the school and the nation was the theme of Telok Kurau Primary’s National Day celebrations. To mark the event, the school launched a “Tapestry of Values” - a patchwork of designs created by the parents, pupils and teachers, which expressed their feelings and thoughts about what the school values mean to them.
 

AT ZHENGHUA
Primary School, the pupils put up a dramatic musical presentation entitled “Recollections”.

The 20-minute performance served to deepen appreciation of our nation’s struggles and achievements, and invoked strong feelings of patriotism.
