We LOVE GEMs!


GOOD ENGLISH MODELS (GEM) PROGRAMME

From the month of August, GEMs have been looking forward to every Wednesday. This is the day we get to meet our favourite facilitators, Maia, Jack & Rai together with Ms. Mazlinda. This programme is really unique as we get to spend one-on-one time with the facilitators! Maia is really kind and affable. She makes sure everybody feels comfortable during the lesson. Jack & Rai, on the other hand, crack us all up with humorous jokes that make the session very enjoyable. We initially thought that the workshops would be the typical "lecture-type" but we were wrong. There were many interactive sessions and our facilitators work closely with us so as to groom us into Good English Models.



We have learnt several key lessons such as Public Speaking and Blogging. We have also learnt how to get over our stage fright. There was a session where we had to present our passion. From there, we managed to know each other better and witness some of their special talent. There was singing, there was rubik's cube solving and many more.

We love the ice-breakers in every session where we get to work in groups and compete with one and another. Ironically, it really bonded the GEMs family and brought us closer together. The weekly prize is a star sticker for each of the winning member. All of us are hoping to collect as many stars as possible because the one who does, wins the Overall Champion Award.

We are now on an examination break but the programme will resume in the month of November. We miss our fellow GEMs and we can't wait for the next workshop to start.

Channel News Asia: Roving DV



Roving DV is a nation-wide competition organized by Channel News Asia where student reporters shoot a news clip about their life in school and have the chance to broadcast it on television.


Creative Circle has submitted 2 video clips for the past 2 years. In 2007, our student reporters covered the brilliant concept of combining two subjects, Literature and Music (LITMUS) based on the Indian epic, Rayamana. This clip was selected to be aired on the news.


In 2008, our student reporters covered the much-anticipated, National Education Festival. Watching this clip brings back wonderful memories of the school’s transformation into a colourful palette of energy and exuberance.

 
Both of these clips are now available online for viewing.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!!!

POETRY RECITAL by the PREFECTS

I'm happy that you're my teacher,
I enjoy each lesson you teach.
As my role model, you inspire me
To dream, to work and to REACH

With your kindness, you get my attention
Everyday you are planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation,
To know, to grow and to succeed.

You help me fulfill my potential,
And I'm thankful for all you've done
I admire you each day
And I just want to say
as a teacher
YOU'RE NUMBER ONE!!!
