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.

Long Service Award

Our school would like to congratulate Mdm Poon Woon Han for being awarded the Long Service Award. We would like to thank her for her loyal and dedicated contribution in the public service for the past 13 years.

Opening of the new Student Leadership Centre

On the 23rd January 2017, the Class Monitors, Peer Lites and the hospitality team were officially installed during the school assembly amidst loud applause and support from their peers. Ms Amelia Champion, a member of our Alumni and our Guest of Honor for the event, shared with the school on how PL has helped shaped her career background and what leadership meant to her. Ms Champion also inspired the girls in the “Go Light Your World” initiative by sharing her experiences in Corporate Social Responsibility. She shared how everyone can go light our world and make a difference. At the end of the installation, student leaders recited the student leaders’ pledge to pledge their commitment to serve PL with love.

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.

PL Celebrates

On 12 January 2017, our PL family celebrated the good N- and O-Level examination results of our 2016 graduands with joy and thanksgiving. We would like to thank the Board of Management for blessing each member of our family with a Famous Amos lollipop and a Cornetto cone. The results are a testimony of hard work which serves as an encouragement to all PL-Lites to continuously strive for excellence.

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.

Sec 1 Candle Lighting Ceremony

PL's signature event during our Sec 1 Orientation is the Initiation ceremony at the end of the iDiscover camp. It was a proud moment as the girls were given their school badge to wear for the first time. This was followed by the candle-lighting ceremony where the girls reminded one another that their role as PL-Lites was to seek to make a difference in the world.

Sec 1 Orientation

The Sec 1 Orientation week ended on a high note with the Sec 1 iDiscover Camp. Families turned up in full force to support and participate alongside their daughters during the Camp’s Finale Night. It was indeed a rousing start to the new school year for our new girls. We warmly welcome our new PL-Lites into our family. To God be the Glory!

CCA Fair 2017

PL Secondary treated our new Secondary 1 cohort to an exciting CCA Fair on Thursday, 5th January 2017 as part of their Orientation Programme. It was an exciting time for our new girls as they considered their options of which CCA they were interested to join.
