Message From The Vice Principal
Five weeks have flown by quickly and truly we have much to be grateful for. We congratulate
all our students for showing what it means to be a Xinghua pupil who is resilient and works
well with others. In the month of July, we celebrated the many achievements of our students
who have truly exemplified the spirit of giving their best in whatever they do. Our softball
players fought well and did themselves proud in the Inter-School Championships. Our
dancers, choir members and Guzheng players also demonstrated the epitome of a
professional artist and performer. We are proud of each of them.
The month of August is a significant one as Singapore roars to life on National Day. Our
Singapore story is well known – how we had achieved independence in 1965 and how we
had survived at all with our tiny size and severe lack of natural resources. We have
succeeded against the odds but we won’t take our achievements for granted. We will
continue to unite and grow as One Nation, One People and One Singapore.
Happy 51st Birthday, Singapore!
Warmest Regards
Shirley Quek (Mrs)

with the children. This is an extremely dangerous act and may result in serious injuries or
fatalities. As good role models, you play an important part to ensure that our children take a
