Chinese New Year Celebrations
On the 27th of January, the entire school was immersed in the festive mood with our PL-Lites enjoying the company of their friends and teachers for class bonding. The girls also got the opportunity to express their creativity by decorating their classrooms for the Year of the Rooster CNY celebrations. It was indeed a great start to the Lunar New Year this year.

Opening of the new Student Leadership Centre
The school also witnessed the launch of the Student Leadership Centre (SLC). The SLC is opened to all PL-Lites who are aspiring leaders and wish to step up to take charge of Go Light Your World projects, FIS projects and other school or level wide events that positively impact the school or community.
REFLECTIONS:
“It was a symbolic moment, as I felt that I had officially taken on a leadership role. I really liked how all the student leaders took the Student Leaders’ pledge together since it showed that all of us were ready to lead the school together.“
- Nadia 3A2 (Peer-lite)
“On the 23rd January, I was installed in front of the school as the Chairperson of the Monitors’ Council and also as a Peer Lite. I was really nervous as it was only my second time to be in front of the school during assembly. Being selected to be the chairperson, I felt grateful to all those that believed that I could lead my pers. On the other hand I knew that I would have more responsibilities to take care of and that I would need to be able to manage my time better. On the same day, I was also present at the opening of the Student Leadership Centre. I think that the Student Leadership centre is very useful as the student leaders can do their discussions about certain situations and also a clean and comfortable environment for the rest of the PL-Lites to do school projects with their peers.”
- Charmaine Kong 3B1
Korea Twinning Programme
On 18 Jan 2017, the PL family spent an enriching time with the Principal, Mrs Hwang, teachers and girls from our twinning school - Kyung Hee Girls' High School, Seoul, South Korea in the last 2 days. The Korean girls joined in lessons and stayed at our girls' homes for 2 nights. We thank the families who lovingly and graciously hosted the girls. Thank you for leaving a part of Singapore in the hearts of our Korean friends. It was indeed an unforgettable experience for both our Korean friends and PL-Lites.

Sharing of a success story
Some of our students overcame their personal challenges in addition to their academic struggles to prepare and sit for their examinations. We are pleased to share one of their success stories.
Farah, who was a school prefect, possessed a positive attitude towards her work. However, she was hit hard when she lost her father after her preliminary exams in 2016. During this period, she had to bear the responsibilities of looking after her sick father who was hospitalised and later passed away. Farah showed resilience amidst all odds when she persevered to do well in the school's preliminary examinations. We are most pleased to share that she perform well in the 2016 GCE O-Level Examinations despite the odds. We congratulate her for resilience and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.
