Pupil Development Teachers Day Video Montage

Teachers’ Day Appreciation Video

In this program, the Pupil Development(PD) Department members will write up a Teachers’ Day message and film many students in the school to say a few words or phrases from the message we wrote to the teachers, we will then compile and edit the video then show it to the school during Teachers’ Day.
By displaying this video, we hope that all students will start to appreciate their teachers more for their dedication, commitment and hardwork.

PD members have worked very hard in this program and had lots of fun as well, it also gave us the chance to bond as a department.
The result of all the efforts paid off and was very satisfying especially when everyone enjoyed the video.

Pupil Welfare Fund Raising

 

Teachers' Day Writeup

Being in the Pupil Welfare Department, we had to raise funds for the Sec. 2 Service Learning Trip. In order to do this, we made flower bouquets for every class to carry out a bidding process starting from $5. The preparations for this activity is very long and tedious. 1 and a half weeks prior to the event, we already started cutting the hands (flower petals) and the straws (stalks). We stuck double-sided tape to hands and stuck both the straw and the hand together to make a flower. After making sufficient flowers, we would make a bouquet by placing the flowers in a wrapped fruit juice box and use different coloured wrapping papers on the outside to make it look presentable. From this event, we made a total of $676.30 and we want to thank everyone for their efforts and contributions in making this event fruitful. :)

A few Learning Points are:

 -Have confidence when standing in front of a crowd

- Have perseverance to complete a task

- Do your best in everything

Outward Bound Singapore

On June 4th-8th, ten Secondary 3 Councillors took part in the five-day physically and mentally demanding camp, Outward Bound Singapore.
The Councillors were all splitted up into different groups.

Through this camp, the councillors realized that they have to step out of their comfort zones, and give themselves a try. It was also a good platform for them to make new friends and learn about how other schools' manage as Student Leaders. The camp also taught the councillors new skills.
This camp sure did improve the potential of the councillors and their experience is one they would never forget! :)

Mid-Year Exam Encouragement 2011

Exams!!! The thing that all students dread but have to go through... The Student Council knows that Hendersonians, like all other students in schools everywhere, will be undergoing lots of stress during the examinations. Hence, to make this period of assessment be easier to bear, the Pupil Relations Department put up boards in the foyer and encouraged people to write encouragement cards for their friends. Many teachers, including our beloved OM Mr. Sim wrote cards for the students, and students also wrote cards for one another. It was really heart-warming to see such a supportive environment in the school =)

1T1 Mentoring by the Pupil Development Dept 2011

The Pupil Development Department of the Student Council is newly set up this year. It's aim is to provide a structured platform for student leaders to mentor selected students in the school. A department for students, of students and by students, it started off with a blank page. After numerous brain-storming sessions, the department and its teachers-in-charge, Mr. Chui and Ms Hu decided to focus on the 1T1 students as the target of the mentoring session.

In conjunction with the Japanese Well-Wishes Compilation, the Councillors led selected 1T1 students to make a video to thank the Hendersonians for their kind acts. In the process, everyone had lots of fun and laughter, and it was not hard to see the bonding that took place between the students and the councillors.
