1st Quote of the Week 2009





This year 4E1 kicked off the Quote of the Week for 2009. This programme is a collaboration between the NE Committee and the English Department.
The topic presented was on the NE Message 6 - "We have confidence in our future. United, determined and well-prepared, we have what it takes to build a bright future for ourselves, and to progress together as one nation."
Among others, the class representatives spoke about what the school did to prepare the students in times of crisis such as the In-Place Protection Exercise, Fire Drill Exercises and the daily temperature taking. They also cited some quotes such as:
from Dr Ng Eng Hen :
… we must face the future with confidence - determined to remain united, not just to survive, but to overcome challenges, thrive and prosper.
While we are a small country, we are a strong society because we stand united, as one people, ready to defend our country and to work together for the common good.
from C . S Lewis saying :

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
