Observing ACES day Every year, we celebrate Teachers' Day a day in advance on 31 August. Like in past years, all students participated in a mass exercise in the morning, as part of ACES day. ACES stands for “All Students Exercising Simultaneously”. The exercise was led by Ms Chai, a PE teacher.

Secondary 1 and 2 students were scheduled for 1 period of lessons, after which, they proceeded to the school hall to enjoy the Teachers' Day concert. Secondary 3, 4 and 5 students had to attend 3 periods of lessons before they were treated to the second session of the concert. Students were dismissed at 11:40am.

Imran on stage The Teachers' Day concert featured Talentime participants, who danced, sang and played music to entertain the teachers and students. This allows students to express their creativity, and at the same time, it served as a way for them to show their heartfelt thanks for their teachers. The hour long concert, organised by Mrs Elene Wan, also included the Pledge for Teachers as well as a cake-cutting ceremony at the end.

Taking the Teachers' Pledge. The Pledge for Teachers, written by the Ministry of Education, reads, “We the teachers of Singapore, pledge that we will be true in our mission to bring out the best in our pupils. We will be exemplary in the discharge of duties and responsibilities. We will guide our students to be good and useful citizens of Singapore. We will continue to learn and pass on the love of learning to our pupils. We will win the trust, support and co-operation of parents and the community so as to enable us to achieve our mission.”

Modern Dance performance In the upper-secondary concert, Mrs Sally Tang had the honour of slicing the cake. It symbolises the students' appreciation for her. Mrs Sally Tang was persuaded to stay on by her students because of her excellent teaching style and friendliness. Although she has retired, she is now back with the school as a relief teacher.

Teachers' Day is on 01 September 2005, Thursday. It will be a school holiday and students need not attend school on this day. However, the school General Office will operate. School curriculum will resume on 02 September 2005, Friday.
