National Day Celebrations




On the 8 August 2008, our school celebrated National Day, the most memorable day for Singaporeans. Mr Chan, our school principal, also celebrated his birthday together with Singapore, our homeland. The school was decorated with colourful flags and banners. The day started with some classes assembling at the first and second level of our school, this was done s0 that Evgians got a better view of the parade held by the uniform groups and the school band.

After the parade, we sang the National Anthem proudly which was played by the school band. Then, we went back to our classrooms for the second activity which was to complete a piece of group work on an article and present it to the class. We also wrote an acrostic for Singapore and included a reflection. Next, we proceeded to the school hall for the concert. It started off with Mr Chan's welcome speech and the National Day Message. We continued with wishing 'Happy Birthday' to Mr Chan and then we watched a National Day video and sang our favourite National Day songs. The prefects were on stage, leading us with the singing. Even some students stood up and waved in rhythm. After the entire day, we were happy and proud to celebrate National Day in our school which is the Centre of Excellence for National Education.
