SG60 National Day Celebrations
See how students marked SG60 by honouring unsung heroes, enjoying a school-wide picnic, and taking part in the Kembangan National Day Observance Ceremony.
In the spirit of the SG60 theme “Building Our Singapore Together” our students were tasked to find out more on various groups of people who had contributed in the background to allow Singapore to prosper over the past 60 years. Leading up to National Day, students learnt about these unsung heroes – the people who make significant contributions to society and improve our lives in ways that often go unnoticed including hawkers, transport workers, migrant workers, and our own MJR non-teaching staff. They then wrote thank-you messages to express their appreciation and gave them to these unsung heroes. These acts of kindness were recorded to foster gratitude and shown during our National Day celebrations to build a stronger sense of community.
On the eve of National Day, all classes enjoyed a school-wide picnic to foster togetherness through communal celebration. Classes held their respective picnics at different locations across the campus, e.g. central garden and sheltered basketball courts. The Sec 4 classes also invited school support staff to join them for their picnics to show gratitude and appreciation. The celebration closed with concert performances and singing of national songs at our Multi-Purpose Hall.
On National Day itself, our Girl Guides sent a contingent to participate in the Kembangan National Day Observance Ceremony held at Kampong Ubi Community Centre Hall.
