National Orange Ribbon Celebrations: Star Pledge

National Orange Ribbon Celebrations is a signature event in July to celebrate Racial Harmony and a focal point to promote understanding, appreciation and trust among Singapore's multi-racial and multi-religious society.

The aim of the Star Pledge is to gather youths to make a pledge towards promoting Racial Harmony through a simple gesture. The Organising Committee has prepared for materials which is meant to be folded into stars and the students are encouraged to write their pledge on the star. The target is to collect a total of 10,000 pledges in support for the Orange Ribbon Celebrations. Endeavour Primary School will pledge 300 stars.

I would like to thank the Primary 3 to 5 Form teachers and Subject teachers; as well as the Primary 3 to 5 pupils for their support in this event.

National Fire & Civil Emergency Preparedness Council 'On-the-Spot Art Competition'

On Saturday 23rd May 2009, 3 of our Primary 4 students Sherman , Odelia Chung and Ng Yuan Kai took part in the 'On-the-Spot Art Competition' at Clementi Primary School. The competition was organised by NFEC. The theme for this year’s competition is ‘Ever Ready for Emergencies’. The objective of the competition is to create greater awareness of fire prevention and civil emergency preparedness among the students through the use of art.

The students created art piecces based on their interpretation of the theme and put to the test the skills they learnt in Art Lessons. It was also a good opportunity for them to learn from their peers from the other schools.

The students received certificates of participation and Sherman Lim came in 3rd for Category B winning cash vouchers worth $100. Congratulations, Sherman!

Details of the competition are available at the NFEC website:

International Friendship Day- Part 2

Looking at these pictures, I can’t wait for the next school celebration to come =) Let’s look forward to it ;)

International Friendship Day- Part 1

International Friendship Day (IFD) was definitely a special day for the children. To start with, the students were allowed to wear their home clothes to school!! Seeing the children in some of their most interesting home clothes added vibrancy and joy to the school ambience for the day. To further celebrate the occasion, there were performances by stage play artistes, children from the choir and impressive mass dances by various classes and even the parent volunteers. Wow!!! Apart from teacher hosting the event, children took up co-hosting roles on stage as well. =) Everyone enjoyed the entire celebration. We appreciate the effort put in for the preparation of the performances and the various details involved in this event. Last but not least, having worked together to make this event a celebratory success, I believe we have all learnt to appreciate and treasure one another all the more.

Pupils' Reflection

Friends are the ones who will be there forever. They are the ones who are not related to you by blood, but sometimes they are more loyal than your own brothers. Celebrating the true spirit of friendship is seldom known until it is lost.
Friends are the most important in this recipe of life.
