Dear Parents/Guardians

We are proud to highlight the demonstration of our school values in this issue of the newsletter.

Commendable Act by 2 Stamfordians

We would like to commend two of our students, Jesslyn Chee Jia Xi (P5/2) and Nur Izzaura

Binte Izhar (P5/5) for their act of public spiritedness. Both girls found a Samsung mobile phone

at a neighborhood playground on 12 March 2018. They called the police and handed over the

mobile phone to them after their efforts to trace and locate the owner failed. The school is

proud of these two students for showing initiative and displaying the school values of integrity

and responsibility. The Singapore Police Force will be presenting them with a token of

appreciation for their commendable act.

SPSSC National School Games Senior Division Floorball Championships 2018 Displaying our school’s ENRICH values, both the boys’ and girls’ teams progressed through the qualifying and 2nd rounds to reach the semi-finals and finals respectively. The Senior Girls secured 3rd place by defeating Pasir Ris Primary 5-1 while the Senior Boys ended as National Champions once again with a breath-taking win against Pasir Ris Primary. The scores were tied at 2-2 at the final whistle, with Stamford winning the penalty shootout 3-1. Both teams have truly done the school proud with their performances and sporting behaviour. We warmly congratulate our Floorball players and thank all parents who have supported us.

Singapore Youth Festival Arts Presentation (SYFAP) 2018 This year, three of our performing groups, Choir, Chinese Dance, and International Dance took part in the SYFAP 2018. Our performers had started preparing for the festival since last year. We are proud to announce that the students have demonstrated resilience and their efforts over the past few months of practices had resulted in vibrant performances during the SYFAP with the following results: Achievement Performing Art CCA Groups Certificate of Commendation Choir Certificate of Accomplishment Chinese Dance
