August 2015

Our Chaplain IC, Rev Dr Jonathan Seet and the Pastors of PLMC gathered at the School Canteen on 25 August over a Breakfast Fellowship with the Staff of PLMGS (Sec). He gave a word of encouragement as he thanked all the staff for their dedication and service to the school.  

The PL Art Trail was an annual collaboration between PL-Primary and PL-Secondary. The objectives of PL Art Trail were to provide opportunities for students to showcase their art pieces and to promote visual arts in PL. 

On 18 August, the PL family bonded over the kitchen stoves and the staff showed off their hidden culinary talent. Working with the theme, H.E.A.R.T, the secret ingredients were revealed on the morning itself. The staff had to incorporate honey, edamame, apple, rice crispies and tortilla chips into their creative breakfast menu. In search for our own PL’s Master Chefs, our staff worked together to prepare the breakfast with lots of creativity, fun and laughter. 

On 6 August, PLMGS (Sec) celebrated our nation’s 50th birthday with much fanfare. There was a combined PLMGS (Primary and Secondary) parade segment showcasing PL’s uniformed groups and PL band performance. The parade saw its first aerial flypast of a drone, that flew the national flag proudly as the national anthem was played. This was followed by the Colours Award presentation to recognise the service and leadership of our student leaders and CCA members. The concert presentation included performances by the ELDDS, Guzheng members, Guitar Ensemble, PL Dance, our Indian students and students from Sec 2.8, a video made by our MIT students and our teachers who led the school in the community singing segment. The concert ended on a high note with our uniformed group leaders who marched in proudly, with our state flag and led the whole school in the singing of the national anthem. The cheerful, grand yet patriotic closure of the school’s National Day concert left our Guest of Honour, Mr Andrew Ang, PL Alumni members, guests, parents and the PL Family feeling proud as Singaporeans as they made their way to the reception.

On 6 August 2015, PL celebrated our nation’s Golden Jubilee Year with a Thanksgiving Service led by the School Leaders. This year, we are privileged to have as our speaker and Guest of Honour, Ms Lorinne Kon. Ms Kon is an Alumni PL-Lite and a Board Member of Prison Fellowship. She shared a meaningful and poignant message entitled ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself’.
