1st NRIC Presentation Ceremony 2008

The 1st NRIC Presentation Ceremony for 2008 was held on 18 January. The response from the NRIC recipients was over-whelming. They came early, put on their best and participated enthusiastically during the ceremony. The ceremony was started by Mrs Lisa Kwok who gave a brief but very meaningful presentation on the significance of being a Singaporean. The UG cadets from NCC, NPCC, Girl Guides and Red Cros were smart in their respective uniform. They were ably-led by Staff Sergeant Amirul Hafidz (NCC) of 4E5. He will be going to New Zealand to particate in the Thunder Warrior exercise there. The school band played excellently. The pioneer ONE Advocates did exceedingly well to get the registration system going very smoothly. As a result, the school responded positively by singing the National Anthem with gusto and reciting the pledge with pride. Kudos to all. The next ceremony will be held on 15 February 2008.


Here are some of the photos...

Exciting Times Ahead!

Hello everyone and welcome back to school! It's been an extremely exciting first day hasn't it? Anyway, I'd like to thank my lovely ONE Advocates for keeping things running for the past one year. Well done, guys! Great job, indeed. :)

Anyway, I have some great news for you out there. The NE family is looking out for new ONE Advocates and One Heritagers members. We need 1 One Advocate per class and 3 One Heritagers. What's the difference you may ask? Well, One Advocates are in charge of organising NE events at the school level while One Heritagers will be conducting events at the class level. One Advocates is a recognised student leadership body in Hua Yi, just like our Student Council. So at the end of the year, you get CCA points for your commitment. As for One Heritagers, you will accumulate CIP hours for your contributions. :)

So if you're interested in joining our little NE family consisting of Mr Amran, Mrs Kwok, Mrs Selina Wong and myself, Miss Leyana, as well as One Advocates of 2007 such as Evann, Alan, Melvin, Ghaz and many more, please do tell your form teachers of your interest. We can't wait to meet all the new members.

Also, something to look forward to in 2008:

-A more interactive blog which communicates with the pillars in school as well as the NE gallery. Keep a lookout for that one.

- A new round of Quotes of the Day!

- ONE at HYSS Blogskin contest! The winner's blogskin will be used for the entire academic year of 2008!

And of course, all the exciting commemorative events. :)

We hope to see more fresh faces soon!
