Students’ reflections
“This carnival reminded us that despite the odds seemingly against our favour, it is imperative that we constantly encourage one another to keep each other’s spirit up. We understood how our inattention could lead to our greatest downfall, how our motivation could lead to our greatest glory and how the nuances in our mind-sets and attitude made all the difference.”
Kwek Jia Xuan Tammie, Member of PL B Division Netball Team
“This was the first carnival where the Sec 2s and 3s played as a team and I felt that this carnival really showed me a lot. Although some of us felt demoralised when we first saw the fixtures as we were in a tough grouping, we made a goal for ourselves and worked towards that goal. Before every single game, everyone made sure they were warmed up well and this showed me that everyone was determined to fight. On the court, for all the opponents we faced, everyone stood strong against them and fought hard. Eventually, we topped the table, winning against the team we at first thought might lose to. There were tears and pressure. The games got tighter but no one backed down, we finally clinched 2nd placing. I was honestly surprised because I never thought we would go this far. This carnival really showed me every teammate’s fighting spirit and how a common goal could bring us so far. We constantly reminded ourselves that we wanted the medal. With our fighting spirit, we worked well together and supported each other. It felt good as I knew that not only me but everyone in my team wanted to win and that was my motivation to put in all my shots. This is a carnival that I would never forget, for all the emotions I felt and what I saw in all of my teammates.”
Gladys Chia Xin Yi, Vice-Captain of the PL B Division Netball team
“Since it was my last time playing in speed carnival with my team of Sec 2s and 3s, I wanted our team to do their best and land themselves in the finals. With the team’s goal in mind and the motivation from my teammates, I set my mind on the challenge ahead and to always be focused on what I truly want to achieve at the end. The teams that we were going against were really strong and I was initially worried that my team would be afraid but our team came in strong and had what it takes to win. We maintained our winning streak until that very last match against St Hilda’s Secondary where we fell short by one goal and clinched the silver medal instead. I am still very proud of my team because we worked very hard as a team together and took every game as an opportunity to improve our skills and prove ourselves that we are one PL team. I felt touched to see my teammates working hard and I was very motivated as I knew that I was not working hard for that medal alone. I had my teammates’ assurance and determination as well to push me forward.”

Students’ Reflections
“This competitions was truly an inspiring and enriching one. It allowed me to test out my knowledge of robotics coding and programming and I have gained so much knowledge from the workshop and the competitions provided. The road ahead was a tough one. We encounter many obstacles that put my team under lots of pressure and not everything went smooth as we expected, even on the competition day itself. With determination and perseverance, we overcame each obstacle one by one until we emerged victorious. This competition has been a great learning opportunity.”
Adelaine Ruth Hanako Suhendro, 2.2
“As this was my first time taking part in this competition. Our team had lots of issues in programming our robot as it did not turn out the way we wanted it to be.. However, we did not give up and tried our best to reprogram the codes so that our robot was able to complete the maze. Although our team did not get into the top 3, we were awarded with the best robot design. Through the process of preparation for the competition, I have learnt that no matter what circumstances we encounter, we should never give up and continue to press on till the very end. I also learnt that teamwork is a very important factor for a team as everyone have to work together and do their part in order to achieve the desired goal. Lastly, I realised that winning is not the only important thing to achieve in a competition but exposure and experienced we gained from the competition as well as the friendships forged are the ones that count.”
Sherlynn Yeo, 2.3
"This competition has definitely widened my knowledge on technology and robotics and it was a good experience for me and my teammates as we had to get our robot to complete its mission, not giving up even when we faced several challenges."
Natasha Wee, 3A3
“Through this competition, I have gained a lot of experience. Having to use the Arduino software for the first time, I had to start right from the basic to learn to program the robot. There were many setbacks in preparation for this competition but all our work had paid off. This is definitely largely due to the great teamwork and resilience in my team and the never ending will to push on to the last second. I'm thankful to the teachers who has made this possible for us students to participate in this competition. This was a great experience for me and one that I'll treasure and learn from in future activities.”

“Through this competition, I learn about team work and time management. I learnt that we need teamwork to go through this competition because without teamwork things cannot be done. I had fun during the competition and I look forward to future competitions.”
Faith Ng, 2.3
“From this competition, I have learnt many things such as teamwork as well as thinking on my two feet. To do well in the competition, I had to work and communicate with my teammates. I also learnt how to control a robot with as well as how metal cannot be in contact a circuit board. We faced a few problems in this competition. However, we learnt how to solve those problems quickly and with the amount of resources we have. I made many friends from the competition and I am very thankful to be given this opportunity.”
Breann Ong, 1.1
“Through this competition, I have learnt the importance of teamwork and communication. Through this competition, I have learnt that in order for a group to be successful, everyone MUST play a part in contributing to the team, be it for the presentation or showing up for meetings and adding ideas to better improve the robot.”

Students’ Reflection
“Overall for this East Zone Competition, I felt happy and grateful that I was given the chance to compete and experience something academic lessons would not be able to give me. I also enjoyed the process of learning, fighting hard, defeat, victory with my teammates and I really treasure each and every one of them even though we don’t see eye to eye sometimes. I learnt many values like sportsmanship, determination, perseverance, and resilience to continue pressing on even if my team is losing. What’s important is that we are safe and have tried our very best, didn’t give up and were there for each other. I also feel that the bonds I have formed with my team will never be broken and we have gotten closer and can open up to each other better. I also think we did well overall and I am thankful that we clinched the top 4 position. This top 4 is for my team, my coaches, my teachers and those who were supporting us and I think we accomplished our goal.”
Karen Siew Ching Yi, Member of PL B Division Netball Team
“I was privileged to get the opportunity to play many games. We experienced winning and losing games and we did learn a lot more by losing, giving us more and learning how to overcome our problems. As the going gets tough, I really want the team to become more united as one, having the team spirit to fight all the way and go far together.
Charisse Lim Xuan Min, Vice- Captain of the PL B Division Netball Team

The
World Robot Games 2016 Singapore being the first of its kind in
Singapore, promotes Science, Technology, Electrical & Mechanical
Engineering and the Arts. This event provides the platform where
participants pit their wits against one another, design and test their
robotic creations in 3 different games, SUMOROBOT, LINE TRACING, and
SEARCH & RESCUE. WRG 2016 theme focuses on "DISASTER RECOVERY".
Teams will be challenged to design robots to search and rescue victims
in a disaster situation. Winning Teams of WRG Singapore 2016 will also
get to represent Singapore to compete in the WRG 2016 International,
Indonesia (Bandung) in August.
We
are proud to announce that one team comprising of Woo Jie Lyn of Sec
3A2 and Esther Chan of Sec 2.3 clinched the Bronze Award in Line Tracing
Secondary School Category. For Search and Rescue Secondary School
Category, Ling Yin and Wee Chun Hui of 3A1 achieved the Silver Award
while Tan Jia Min of 3A1 and Julia Chacko of 3A3 attained the Gold
Award. Congratulations to all the robotic teams of PLMGSS!
Students' Reflections:
“In this
competition, our robot had quite a few breakdowns. During the
competition itself, the unit faced tough competitions from other
competitors. Through teamwork, communication and tolerance, we all
managed to pull through, and that is really worth all the effort.”
Wee Chun Hui, 3A1
“I feel that
participating in this year’s World Robotics Games was definitely an
enriching opportunity as I felt that it trained myself mentally and
physically into adapting to different changes as well as new challenges
to solve. I have learnt a lot from this experience and it has been a
great learning opportunity.”
Lee Wen, 3A4
“During the two days of
the competition we met with many setbacks such as the wheels of the
robot falling off or the screws coming lose on various parts of the
robot. However, this competition has allowed me to be closer with my
team mate, Chun Hui and exposed us to different forms of robotic
technologies. When we first walked in for practice, many people from
other schools, including parents and teachers looked at us, probably in
disbelief. However, as we practiced and got the hang of things together
with teamwork and communication, we eventually managed to emerge
victorious and made our mark. The sense of satisfaction and euphoria
that we felt when we finished the task was truly amazing. The experience
has also taught me that nothing is impossible if you set your heart and
mind to accomplishing it.”
Ling Yin, 3A1
“This competition was a
thrilling one compared to previous competitions our robotics unit had
participated in. We entered this competition fully prepared but not
knowing what the main challenges are. Though some problems came up on
the competition day itself, we were able to fix them. Can't wait for our
next competition to show other schools that our school can do
robotics.”
Woo Jie Lyn, 3A2
“As this is my first
competition in robotics, I feel very honoured to be selected for
participation. The competition gave me a lot of experience and I felt
very happy having contributed my best. There were also challenges we
faced. We struggled with the speed and tuning of the line tracer.
Through this competition, I learnt that teamwork and sportsmanship is
very important. Thank you PLMGSS for this experience!”
Angel Yip, 1.2
“I really enjoyed
participating in WRG Singapore as it was a new experience for me. During
the competition itself I learnt a lot about teamwork as my partner, Jia
Min, and I had to work closely together to ensure that our robot could
complete all challenges. I’m really glad I had the chance to take part
in this competition along with the rest of the PL Robotics Unit!”
Julia, 3A3
iChef Competition

The
NFS unit participated in this year’s ichef competition which was
organised by Republic Polytechnic. A total of 3 teams from our PLMGSS
participated in the above competition. The teams had to undergo 2
challenges, the first challenge was to create a fusion bento box lunch
presentation and the other was to do a menu design for a Café in the
qualifying round. A total of 108 teams from various schools participated
in the qualifying round. One of our 3 teams, “PL Angels” qualified for
the finals. In the finals the teams were to prepare 5 different types of
Butler Passed Canapes featuring ingredients from the East to the West
ends of the globe. The team practiced hard for the finals and worked
diligently to present the canapes attractively. “PL Angels” came in 4
th
place in this competition.
Students' Reflections:
“The
subject, Food and Nutrition, motivated us to cook different types of
food. We are inspired and challenged to cook different type of
interesting food. The creation of the menu, the process of brainstorming
for the bento box and the workshops that we attended during the first
round of competition had given us an eye opening experience. We never
knew food can be infused and created in such a way. Through this
competition we learned that teamwork and communication skills are
important life skills in the working life. We have to learn how to
communicate and work in a group to get things done. We sat down as a
team to talk about the problems. As we talked and brainstormed, we found
solutions to our problems and sometimes we can be very creative in our
solutions.”

8 years after PL first established the Volleyball team, the PL ‘C’ Division Volleyball Team finally made history by clinching 3
d
position in the East Zone ‘C’ Division Volleyball Championships and
qualified for the nationals. The Volleyball girls trained 3 times a week
and took part in a number of competitions to prepare themselves. During
the East Zone ‘C’ Division Volleyball Championships 2016, the girls
displayed great resilience to overcome injuries and illnesses and
managed to beat some traditionally strong teams. The Volleyball girls
will continue to put in their best effort during the nationals to bring
honour to the school.
Students' Reflections:
"To achieve something no one had ever achieved before in this school during our school’s 100
th
anniversary is definitely unforgettable. I have learnt to push myself
beyond my boundaries and always to persevere. Also, I have learnt the
importance of teamwork and team spirit. I am looking forward to more of
these experiences to come!"
Yap Jing Yi, Nadia, Vice-Captain of the PL C Division Volleyball Team
"On the first day of
the competition, we were surprised that we managed to beat our strong
opponent despite playing the match immediately after our Sec 2 Camp.
What was even more unimaginable was that we actually reached the
nationals. This was beyond my expectations and it will be an experience I
can never forget."
Faith Andreali M. Bunoan, team member of the PL C Division Volleyball Team

Congratulation to the Robotic Teams of PLMGSS!
Students' Reflections:
“Going
for the 3D-tronics Challenge was a wonderful experience for me. In the
competition, there were many people of different ages taking part in
different categories with different styles. The competition made us step
out of our comfort zones to learn from others and improve from there. I
would like to thank our Principal Mrs Quek and our teacher Mr Indra for
giving us the chance to broaden our knowledge about robotics by
attending such competitions. I hope I will be able to attend more of
such competitions in the future.”
Charissa Wee, 2.2
“I feel that
participating in this year’s 3D-Tronics Challenge was definitely an
enriching opportunity as I felt that it trained me mentally and
physically to adapt to different challenges during the Arena Battle
games as well as having to think independently to solve new problems. I
have learnt a lot from this experience and I am very thankful for this
great learning opportunity.”
Lee Wen, 3A4
“This competition was
once again a challenge with the new category and tough program coding.
We were all afraid that our robot may not work and we will not be able
to make the school proud. We worked together to figure out all the
problems with whatever tools available. This competition once again
provided me with very enjoyable times that I can spend working together
with my teammates.”
Woo Jie Lyn, 3A2
“Taking part in the
2016 3D-tronics Challenge was very interesting especially when the
challenges were different from last year. This year, my team and I
entered the battle robot category and clinched champion position. I am
proud of my team as we competed against institutes of higher learning
such as the ITE. Through this competition, I managed to have more
patience and strategise the movement for my robots depending on the
situations. I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to take part in
this year's 3D-tronics Challenge. I would like to thank our
teacher-in-charge, Mr Indra, for guiding us through this competition and
for giving us opportunities to take part in competitions and do the
school proud.”
Andrea Seng, 3B1
“This competition gave
me a great opportunity to train up my focus. We needed to be focused and
not get distracted by the people around us. We persevered to prepare
the robot for the competition through Arduino Programming. I am happy
that we were the 2nd runner up for the competition and hope to win more
prizes for the school.”
Angel Yip, 1.1
“I felt honoured as it
is a rare opportunity and not everyone would have the chance to do what I
did. I learnt a lot in the competition as we participated in the open
category which allowed me to compete with older competitors and also
learn from them. Given the opportunity, I would love to represent our
school again.”
Christina Tan, 2.4

The
school congratulates Sherry Koh Pan Yi and Amanda Woo Kai Yi for
winning the ADAPTATION Award in the 2016 Design & Technology Awards.
Their winning artefact will be displayed at The Marquee @ Science
Centre Singapore on 1 Jun 2016. To God be the Glory!
Students' Reflections:
"During the
process of making the artefact, I felt frustrated as we faced many
problems. One of the challenges was the motor not being able to work
properly and this was the crucial part of the artefact. I was afraid
that we could not finish making the product. After many times of trying,
we managed to overcome the problem. I was quite nervous during the
interview due to the short time given for us to prepare. But I soon
eased up as the words just came out naturally. I felt a sense if
accomplishment when I heard the good news. We had put in a lot of effort
and spent long hours in coming up with the idea and making the product.
I feel proud and happy that our hard work had paid off."
Amanda Woo, Sec 3A1
"During the process of
making the artefact, there were many frustrating moments but I felt a
sense of accomplishment and satisfaction whenever we complete parts of
the artefact. I felt that our artefact was not good enough when compared
to the rest. However, we still did our best in trying to promote our
product to the judges. I was thrilled and overjoyed as our hard work
paid off in the end."

“Having
the chance to participate in this competition was a great opportunity
for all of us to learn more about a whole different type of programming.
As a team, we have worked well together and have all grown and learnt
many things with and from each other. I have learnt the basics of this
new programme. I would like to thank Mr Indra, our teacher-in-charge,
for guiding us along the way and giving us the opportunity to go for the
training and competition.”
Andrea Seng, Sec 3B1
“As part the IDE
robotics challenge, we had a boot camp before the actual day of
competition. We learned different things during the boot camp such as
how to create different shapes and letters with the programming for the
robot. We also managed to program the robot according to the brief
provided. I also learnt different things from other groups and I am
proud of our achievements.”
Christina Tan, Sec 2.4
“I feel that
participating in this year’s IDE challenge was definitely an enriching
opportunity as I felt that it had trained my mental and physical
stamina, adaptability and flexibility to overcome problems and
challenges. It was certainly been a great learning experience.”
Lee Wen, Sec 3A4
“Participating in IDE
2016 was an enriching experience. My group took part in the IDE
challenge where we were given certain materials to complete three tasks.
With the incredibly limited resources provided, we had to wreck our
brains to come up with feasible solutions. Thankfully, we were able to
pull through in the end. I am extremely grateful for the chance to
participate in such an event.”
Tan Jia Min, Sec 3A1
“Taking part in the IDE
Robotics was an extremely fun experience. In the IDE challenge, I had
the opportunity to learn from other schools which is very meaningful. I
hope I would be able to take part in more of such events.”

took part in a Set Text Debate on Joy Luck Club and an Unseen Text
Debate. The team who participated in the Unseen Text Debate won in their
debate. For the Lower Secondary, a group of Lower Secondary students
put up a Book Parade display on The Merchant of Venice , and achieved 2
nd
place in their category. Another Lower Secondary group also presented a
Book Trailer on Red Sky in the Morning , which attained 3
rd
position in their category. The participants also had the opportunity to
attend sessions on prose, poetry and drama conducted by Singaporean
experts and writers in the field, in line with the SG50 celebrations.
Students' Reflection:
“Participating
in the Lit Fest was an enjoyable and enriching experience. In our
preparation for the Unseen Poetry debate, my team had fun analysing the
poem ad found it very intellectually stimulating. I am glad to have
gotten the chance to meet many writers and listen to their writing tips.
Overall, Lit Fest really enhanced my appreciation for Literature as a
subject and the English Language.”
– Megan Lew, 3A3
“To me, the National
Schools Literature Festival is more than a competition. It is a true
celebration of the beauty of the English language. It was a joy to
listen to many famous Singaporean writers, poets and playwrights as I
got to learn things that can't be taught with the classroom walls. I
feel truly blessed to have gotten such a wonderful opportunity.”

We are proud of our debaters. To God be the glory!
Student's Reflections:
"My
experience in this national tournament was definitely an unforgettable
one. It was not just the end result of making it to quarter finals and
making PL history, but also the process of getting there. Although
training was intense and exhausting, I thoroughly enjoyed working with
my teammates, discussing rebuttals every second that we got to spend
with each other, getting to know each others' strengths and weaknesses. I
enjoyed the thrilling experiences of going up against such brilliant
opponents and brainstorming the cases in great details. I thank God for
our teachers and coach for helping us through such an amazing and
enriching experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat, and it is
truly a blessing to see our hard work, determination, perseverance and
teamwork pay off."

against different opponents from other schools. In addition, we were
able to forge new friendships with our opponents. It was a really great
experience and I've enjoyed the competition.”
from Jessie Koh, Sec 4A2

The
Innovation, Design and Engineering (IDE) Challenge, which took place on
20 March 2015, was a hands-on competition with one or more engineering
challenges. Participating teams were required to work on their designs
and solutions. On the actual day of competition, teams needed to create
the most effective design under limited time using the materials
provided to them.
We
are proud to announce that one of the teams representing PLMGS (Sec)
clinched the IDE Engineering Award for 2015. The members comprised
Zaneta Low and Tan Jia Min, both from Sec 2.3.
Students' Reflections:
“ I feel
that this competition was absolutely fun and brain-triggering. In our
normal lessons, we sit down, take notes and sometimes have group work,
but in this competition, my team and I really pushed our brain to try to
win something. Overall, this competition was fun, and was made even
more so with my awesome team-mates. Thank you for giving us this
opportunity.”
from Wee Chun Hui, Sec 2.2
“The IDE Challenge 2015
was a wonderful learning experience. It certainly got us wrecking our
brains, trying to think of a way around each challenge considering the
impossibly little resources given for the construction of all three
contraptions. IDE was definitely something different from any other
typical competition, and I am glad I had the opportunity to participate
in such an event.”
from Tan Jia Min, Sec 2.3
“To be honest, when the
team leaders asked me to join them, I wasn’t sure what they saw in me. I
was a little shocked. Through research and all the team meetings, I
became more confident about the competition. When we went into the
competition with zero expectations, although we covered quite a lot of
content in research. The competition was intense but overall I enjoyed
the entire process of planning and making the objects. Although some
artefacts may not have turned out as well as expected, I guess it was
the journey that counts. I enjoyed myself throughout the entire
process”
from Ling Yin, Sec 2.2
“Being part of this
competition has taught me how to think on my feet. After completing my
bridge, I realized that it could not hold heavy weights as well as
expected. Therefore, I had to quickly plan and build a second one.
Despite having their own tasks, my team mates stood by me and helped me
by contributing ideas.”
from Crystal Cheong, Sec 2.2
“I am really glad that I
was able to participate in the IDE Championship 2015. The tasks that we
were supposed to perform were really challenging and thought-provoking.
The task that we found most challenging was building the rubber band
powered car and the easiest one was building the bridge. I am really
happy that my team members did their part and we all managed to put our
strengths to use. Other than learning more about Innovation, Design and
Engineering, I am glad that I learnt values like adaptability more in
depth through the limit of materials and time provided.”
from Julia, Sec 2.3
“The IDE challenge
was an interesting and fun competition. In the competition, we were
given limited materials to satisfy three challenges: to build a strong
bridge, an efficient rubber band powered car and a structure to protect
10 eggs when dropped from a height of three floors. We were able to
learn a lot through trial and error and also able to have fun in the
process. It was very eventful and I would definitely like to participate
again if I were given another chance.”
from Esther Chew, Sec 2.2.

Students' Reflections:
I feel
honoured to have my photograph featured in the Canon EOS Academy
magazine. I get to experiment with different photography genres and with
the help of the magazine, I get to know which style of photography I am
best at. I learn more about the styles of other photographers and what I
can do to refine my photos. I am glad that the Canon EOS Academy
magazine has this platform that allows students to be recognised for
their works. The platform encourages me to produce better quality
photos, so that I can continue to share my works with budding
photographers and to learn from them.
Syaza Nisrina, Sec 4A3, President of PL Photography Club
I feel that the Canon
EOS Academy magazine is a great platform for photographers to learn from
one another. We learnt to get the techniques right and master the
skills for a specific genre of photography. It also gives the
photographers the recognition they deserve for the effort they put into
taking each photo. I have learnt a lot from different photographers from
other schools and I am also very inspired to continue sharing my photos
with others. It is indeed an honour to have my photo published in a
renowned magazine.

KC Humanities / NE Challenge 2015
On
12 February, 5 Secondary 4 students (Amanda Tan, Jamais Ang, Sarah Ann
Lim, Victoria Teng and Zhang Jingyi) took part in the KC Humanities/NE
Challenge 2015 organised by CHIJ Katong Convent. They were the top 5
teams competing in the quiz segment (Humanopoly) and emerged champions.
In addition, they also came in the second in the Treasure Hunt segment.
All glory to God for His favour.
Students' Reflections:
The KC
Humanities/NE Challenge not only allowed us to put our textbook
knowledge to use, but it also tested us on current events, making us
more aware of what is happening in the world. We had a lot of fun taking
part in the competition and also learnt things that are not taught in
the classroom. Although the challenge was tough at times, we persevered
and supported each other to do our best.
Sarah-Ann Lim, Sec 4A2
I learned a lot from
the taking part in the competition: both team work and knowledge. The
Humanities Challenge comprised mainly of History and general knowledge
questions. Thus, it is important to be updated and well informed with
the latest news happening all around the world. We must work well and be
united as a team in order to overcome the challenges faced when
participating in the various tasks. All in all, I enjoyed myself during
the KC Humanities Challenge and I am very grateful to have had such an
opportunity to participate.

Student's Reflections:
“ The 37
th
C. B. Paul Science Quiz was really an eye opener. I
was apprehensive at first.I was surprised when I passed the preliminary
round to move on to the final and achieved a bronze medal! Personally I
think the questions were challenging and tough, especially the
chemistry and biology questions. Thankfully, I managed to brave through
the application questions. The competition was a really great experience
for me, as I was exposed to various, unique, think-on-the-spot
questions. It gave me an opportunity to learn that sciences and math are
something beyond the textbooks .”
from Ignasia Hanny, Secondary 4A1 (Bronze Individual Award)
“ I really liked the
exposure, especially the biology questions! The questions really were
something that I've never seen before and they intrigued me. Even though
the questions were really quite hard, especially since some of them
were not for secondary school level, I had a very enjoyable time! They
made me think out of the box. I continued to wonder and research about
some of the topics even after the quiz was over .”
from Hannah Quek, Secondary 3A1
“ This being my first
C.B. Paul Science Quiz, I have to say it has been a valuable experience.
The questions that were asked were out of my syllabus, but I have to
say that I am happy I was able to answer some of them. Being a Secondary
2 student, I am glad that I was able to be exposed to such questions
that are out of my syllabus. I am also thankful that I could participate
in a competition like this and represent the school and give God the
Glory !”

Six
dedicated PL-lites from Class 3D1 represented PLMGSS in the finals of
the National Pushcart Challenge 2014 organised by Republic Polytechnic.
This competition required teams to collaborate with a social enterprise
of their choice and develop product innovations to augment their
existing merchandise for fund-raising.
Working
with the SPCA, our girls saw an opportunity in recycling unwanted
cardboard rolls into household products such as photo frames, stationery
holders, torchlights, desktop lamps and even mobile phone speakers!
After
a long 5 months’ work involving ideation, sourcing and development, the
girls had to set up their own pushcart to market their completed
products at Causeway Point over 2 days.
Their
hard work and aching feet eventually paid much dividends as they
snagged the Most Innovative Product award as well as the overall 1
st
runners-up trophy – the only team out of 16 finalists to receive 2 prizes!
The
school congratulates Faith Kung, P. Maitreyah, Pan YiTong, Raeann Tan,
Saraniya D/O Panichelvam and Theenmathi D/O Kanesan (all from 3D1) for
their unique achievement!
Students' Reflections:
"This
experience proved how important teamwork is as we stuck together
throughout the competition, coming to school and working on the products
even during the holidays."
- Raeann Tan
"It’s fantastic how we
managed to get so many of our products out in time! The key was in how
we split the workload and helped one another out."
- Theenmathi
"Through this
competition, I’ve learnt much about taking personal responsibility, how
to overcome my fear of approaching strangers and lastly, the importance
of working with others. These experiences will make me a better
person!"
- P. Maitreyah
Natalie Soh receives Zone Colours Award

East Zone A*Star Science Fair 2014
|
|
|
|
On
29 July 2014, 4 groups of students from Secondary Two ACE Science
programme represented PLMGS (Sec) at the East Zone A*Star Science Fair
2014 organised by Victoria Junior College. They presented their science
projects to researchers from Agency for Science, Technology and
Research. The students worked very hard for the project. They read up on
science research papers to formulate their hypothesis and performed
experiments using the Scientific Method.
We
are proud to announce that one of the groups clinched the Bronze Award
under the Lower Secondary Open Category with their project, “Removal of
Heavy Metal Ions using Dried Leaves”. The members of the winning team
were Chen TingYu, Chloe and Michelle Seet Su Ling, both from Secondary
2.1.
Students'
Reflections:
“This Ace
Science project was extremely enriching and taught me to think out of
the box. Through the project, I have learnt to persevere and understood
the meaning of commitment even more as we had to invest time and effort
into finding information and putting it together to finish our research
paper. The Science Fair held in Victoria Junior College was an
eye-opener. There were many different project titles and it showed me
that science is in our everyday lives and it can be interesting after
all. It has changed my perception on what science is all about.”
from Michelle Seet Su Ling, Secondary 2.1
“The ACE Science
project required a lot of commitment including going back to school
during the holidays, weeks of researching and editing of our research
paper, and repeating the experiment to ensure fairness and accuracy.
However, when the project was finally done and ready for presentation, I
felt quite proud of our project as it was the result of our few months
of hard work. Even though we did not win the competition, it was is a
great one-time experience, and I am glad that I did not give up.”
from Bethany Lim, Secondary 2.1
“Through this East Zone
Science Fair, I have learnt that it required commitment and efforts in
science experiments. Time management was also important because even
though we had half a year to complete, coming up with an experiment to
work on was not easy. We had to go through 2 experiments which were
both unsuccessful and not so interesting before coming up with our final
experiment. Our final experiment required us to filter the dried leaves
and saw dust out from the solutions one by one, 54 times across 3 days.
To make sure that the experiment was fair, it should be repeated more
than once. In addition, I had to analyse and compare results to ensure
that the hypothesis was correct. Overall, it was a good and fun learning
experience.”
from Chen TingYu, Chloe, Secondary 2.1

Student's Reflection
“O-Level Art
is so much more than a subject to me. It has allowed me to express
myself and my perspective of the world around me in ways I could never
have imagined. Though the process of completing the coursework was
tiring, and has at times raised doubts and hopelessness within me, God's
love and grace never fails. Christ is the centre of my coursework and
my sole inspiration. I have truly seen the glory of Christ through this
experience that has been like no others. I urge the juniors who are to
take on Art at O-Level - never doubt your abilities, for when the Lord
is with you, anything is possible. It has been the most amazing journey
and one I will always remember. Thank you, PL, for believing in me when I
least did in myself.”

th
C.B. Paul Memorial Science Quiz organized by ACJC
Science and Mathematics Council. The annual science quiz aims to provide
a platform for students to apply textbook knowledge in explaining daily
phenomena, and hence enabling them to exercise analytical and critical
thinking skills.
The
students were put through rigorous questions in a wide range of
contexts including Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Mathematics and Physics. They were challenged to solve problems,
evaluate theories, and interpret work which required them to draw on a
complex array of understandings.
We are proud to announce that the following students have done the school proud:
- Elisabeth Lian Shi-Ri, Secondary 2.1 (Bronze Individual Award)
- Charis Chia, Secondary 2.3 (Bronze Individual Award)
- Michelle Seet Su Ling, Secondary 2.1 (Merit Individual Award)
Pupils' Reflections:
“After
speaking to my seniors, I knew that the competition was going to be very
tough and I was not counting on winning anything. The paper was indeed
very tough but it was fun nonetheless. I think it was good knowing where
I stand, and it was a great exposure beyond the syllabus. I would
really want to do it again in the future.”
Elisabeth Lian Shi-Ri, Secondary 2.1 (Bronze Individual Award)
“I felt that the
competition was very interesting and it was a good exposure. To be
honest, the papers that we took were really tough. I actually got a
shock because I have never been exposed to such questions before despite
the preparation I had for this competition. Nonetheless, I believe this
was a good time for me to actually try out my skills. From this
competition, I learnt many sophisticated things, including new topics
such as astronomy and computer science. I think that the school should
continue to send the Secondary 2 girls for the competition as it
actually will give them exposure to the different sciences apart from
the three sciences that we learn in school.”
Charis Chia, Secondary 2.3 (Bronze Individual Award)
“I feel that the
competition was extremely good exposure, especially for computer science
and astronomy. It was very intellectually stimulating but tiring at the
same time. Overall I think it was a very enriching experience that
higher ability science girls should go for.”
Hannah Quek , Secondary 2.1
“I think it's a really a
good exposure for me as the competition provided a wide range of
questions for us to try. The questions asked during the competition were
above our level, and I look forward to such a challenge.”
Lim Hui Fang, Secondary 2.2
PL wins gold medal at the National Inter-School Cross Country Championship 2014
|
|
|
The
PL Track and Field team participated in the 55th National Inter-School
Cross Country Championships on 25 March 2014 at the Bedok Reservoir
where one of our students, Soh Hann Natalie, from Secondary 4A1 won the
Gold Medal in the "B" Division category. She ran the 3.6 km route with a
timing of 14mins 28.07secs. We would like to thank the coach of the PL
Track and Field team, Mr Alfred Sim, for helping the girls to achieve
the excellent results.
There is an online newspaper article on this event reported by Today newspaper (26/03/2014). Here is an excerpt of the article:
Natalie
Soh of Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ School Secondary delivered a
surprise come-from-behind victory in the Girls ‘B’ Division race, as the
gutsy 16-year-old held on to push past her rivals in the last 50m to
claim the gold in 14min 28.7sec ahead of Nah Yi Xin (Cedar Girls’) and
Shervon Goh (Commonwealth), who finished second and third respectively
in 14:30.2 and 14:39.2.
“It
was quite a struggle for me when I started the race as everyone was
sprinting and I was still trying to get into the rhythm,” said the
Secondary Four student, who finished 40th last year. “I wasn’t in the
front and I struggled to keep up with them. Towards the end, I thought I
would be okay with third, but at the end the two runners in front went
faster and I kept up and overtook them in the last 50m. I certainly was
the underdog and winning this feels great. It’s amazing, and I still
can’t believe I won!”
On 26 March 2014, The New Paper carried an article on Natalie Soh from Sec 4A1. Please click

Pupil's Reflection:
"After hours
of restless anticipation, the starting horn finally sounded and I kept
close to the front of the pack. I was slowly burning out; that was when I
drew strength from God to carry me through the race. His greatness
surpassed my expectations by giving me that last dose of determination
to sprint to the finish. All glory goes to Him and I really thank the
school for providing me with this opportunity. Especially the
teachers-in-charge, Ms Haida, Ms Tan and Ms Deepa, and of course the PL
Track Team for their constant support. Thank you!"
Natalie Soh, Sec 4A1

PLMGSS was
presented with an award by Guest of Honour, Senior Minister of State, Mr
Heng Chee How, at the Intergenerational Learning Programme Appreciation
and Award Ceremony 2013 for its unique Values in Action project where
50 of our Secondary Three pupils taught 30 elderly from St Luke’s
ElderCare a music appreciation class with the ukulele over a span of 5
half-day sessions in May this year. The award presentation ceremony took
place on 21 September 2013 (Saturday).
The
highlight of the ceremony was the opening performance where our pupils
and the elderly played the ukulele to the great delight of the audience.
One of our pupils, Nivitha D/O Royston, was interviewed by the media
and she shared how she learnt and benefited from her interaction with
the elderly. One of the elderly who was truly a role model to our pupils
is Mdm Tan, a 91-year old lady, who was a participant of our programme
and a person who embodies the spirit of a life-long learner!
PL
is thankful to Council for the Third Age for their sponsorship and
support, and HistoryMakers for their partnership and mentorship of our
pupils in this meaningful project.

Four PL-lites
from Class 3B3 represented PLMGSS in the finals of the Tourism
Innovation Challenge 2013 organised by Temasek Polytechnic on 15 and 16
July 2013. They were to conceptualise a proposal aimed at turning
Singapore into an attractive destination for youth travellers.
Our
girls put together a tour concept entitled ‘Youthoria’ that sought to
weave in their experiences gained through the school’s unique Overseas
Faithful-In-Service (FIS)programme by inviting youth tourists to engage
in social projects – an idea which was commended as ‘heart-warming’ by
one of the judges from the Singapore Tourism Board.
The proposal ultimately came in 4
th
overall in the competition, a testament of not
only their creativity but also the school’s successful overseas service
learning project!
The school congratulates the team comprising Lim Ying, Natale Tan, Chloe Chan and Yvvyan Tan for their achievement!
Pupils’
Reflections:
“The
competition was interesting for me as I am very keen in the tourism
industry and may even consider a post-secondary course in Tourism and
Resort Management. It helped me to gain insights on the Singapore
tourism industry.”

competition taught me that cooperation and team work is important as

Owning a pet is
a life-long commitment – that was the message five girls from Secondary
3D1 zealously shared with shoppers at Causeway Point on 17 and18
November 2012. This entrepreneurship activity was part of the National
Pushcart Challenge Finals 2012 organised by Republic Polytechnic.
In
this competition, teams had to collaborate with social enterprises to
innovate and market products to help them raise funds as well as spread
awareness of their causes. Our team comprising of Melissa, Durgeswary,
Letchimi, Min Shan and Siu Ching worked with the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty against Animals (SPCA) and fashioned desktop
clocks out of unwanted CDs. This innovation, coupled with their
dedication in working twelve-hour shifts, earned them the 4
th
overall position out of a total of 15 finalists.
