The event started off with the parade of Evergreen's very own uniform groups. The Guard-of-Honour for this year's Honours Day was the Red Cross Youth (RCY). They performed well displaying their teamwork and strict discipline.
Apart from the Red Cross, the other uniform groups also did their part wonderfully. They consisted of the National Cadet Corps (NCC), National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) and the National Civil Defense Cadet Corps (NCDCC).
The Unit Sergeant Major (USM) of the NCC praised everyone's effort in making this event a successful one. 
"The parade commander and the contingent commanders did a good job. The cadets themselves also performed pretty well. The event is very successful and I'm very happy," declared Vincent Lim of 4 Achieve who was also the Contingent Commander for NCC.
They marched to the tune played by Evergreen's band which was led by Aref from 4 Dynamic. Aref is the Drum Major for Evergreen's band which is also known as the EVG Winds. He was really impressed with the improvement showed by the members as compared to the previous years.
"These kinds of events are a good exposure for students to improve. I'm glad that everyone took this opportunity seriously," he added.
The concert started off with the singing of the school song where everyone present in the hall had to stand. It was followed by Mr. Chan; the Principal's speech. Ms Chaing's speech was next. The concert then went on with the Chinese Orchestra's soulful performance. The Gamelan and the Malay Dance Club had a combination performance where the Malay Dancers danced to the tune played by the Gamelan members. The dancers performed a Javanese dance which was indeed very graceful.
The Creative Circle reporters had a chance to interview the Chairman of the Malay Dance Club, Roshazmira from 4 Integrity. She has been dancing for Honours Day for three consecutive years. She felt really great and honoured for the opportunity and trust bestowed upon her. 
The Chinese Dance Club also performed for the concert.
The emcees for Honours Day
The concert lasted for about an hour before the guests had their refreshments. The students and parents had their reception in the canteen. Meanwhile the teachers and the Guest-of-Honour went to the NE library for the reception. In the library, they were entertained by the wonderful tune on the piano played by a Secondary 3 Achieve student, Japheth. The band joined in moments later. Lastly, the Secondary 3 Express pupils sang a medley of a few songs.
An interview with Ms Claire Chiang was conducted by the Roving Reporters of Creative Circle.
When asked about the highlight for this year's Honours Day, she said, "I'm impressed by the cultural show and music performed by the Secondary One pupils. Maybe next year they can use cooking pots and also forks and spoons!"
Mrs Lim, the Vice-Principal of Evergreen Secondary who was also the advisor for 2008's Honours Day, felt that the event was great and that it showed the energies and efforts put in by the teachers and students. She added that this event was to celebrate the school's successes and achievements.
Overall, this event ended with a bang and it was a day to remember as everyone pitched in to make this event successful.
"Whatever we do, just do your best. When, you do your best, no one can blame you."
