*Secondary 1 & 2* 2014 has been a busy yet fun year for both the Sec 1s and 2s and it is good to take stock of some of the more memorable moments. Sometime in April, at the end of the monsoon season, the school had its share of ‘natural sightings’. Yes, all kinds of ‘crawlies’ found their way as we were so close to Nature. Nonetheless, the good sense of Pegasians prevailed. We championed for time-honoured values like Respect and Responsibility. One of our students, Aashika BT Amber, volunteered to lead the Sec 1s and 2s in the 3Rs programme: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The Sec 1s and Sec 2s got together to create art pieces with the message that all of us need to do our part to conserve and preserve the natural environment and also to respect all forms of life. The message to save the environment was cascaded from principal to the teachers and to all students. Project work was also aligned to the theme of an eco-friendly environment. Talents were spotted earlier in the year and students were given the platform to perform in the school, especially during Assembly. There were many good practices that the Sec 1s and 2s cherish. Charmaine Ng from Sec 2, for example, helped to generate a lively Art space in the canteen, thanks to her passion and commitment to the Visual Art. Kai Watarai also volunteered to share his origami skills with other students in the library. There are more examples of students stepping up to help lead the juniors during Fun Day after the exams: Hannah, Ashrina, Afiqah, Xin Rou, Xin Hui, Yik Fei, Kar Fung and Yan Hao, just to name a few. In different ways, the Sec 1s and 2s lived up to be good role models, upholding the school’s virtues which are an obvious strength in our school. Experientially, the Sec 1s and 2s had the privilege to go to Singapore twice. During Semester One, students went on a learning journey to the Singapore Science Centre and of course, the Singapore Art Museum and National Library for the second semester. It was good students get first-hand information that would help augment their existing knowledge of Art, Science and Technology. All said, the Sec 1s and Sec 2s are a lively bunch and an important part of the Pegasian community. At school, the students have both their fair share of fun and work. They had to sit for regular tests and exams for the core subjects following the Singapore curriculum, namely English, Mathematics and Science. Yet, they enjoy a holistic education, learning how to apply new skills for other subjects such as Art, Music, ICT, SOSE and others. The Sec 1s and 2s look forward to new and exciting programmes in 2015 in preparation for their IGCSE.
