Books Down, Fun Up!

Post-Exam Activities

With exams behind them, our student-athletes immersed themselves in an exciting lineup of post-exam activities, from arts and cultural programmes, inter-class games, and multi-sport experiences. These activities, held from 29 October to 6 November 2024, offered them a unique opportunity to explore new talents and passions, and strengthen their bonds with their friends. The celebration culminated on 7 November with a memorable Awards Ceremony to mark the end of the school year, as staff and student-athletes gathered in the auditorium to honour the achievements of our student-athletes in academics, sports and character.

What better way to appreciate a new culture than by experiencing it first hand? Our Secondary 1 student-athletes kicked off their post-exam fun with a hands-on exploration of Indian cultural activities, including playing the traditional "Aadu Puli Aatam" (tiger and goat game), learning traditional Indian dance moves, and the rhythmic beats of Indian drums. It was an exciting and immersive way to learn about the rich heritage of Indian culture.
