This year, we bade farewell to our Principal of over 18 years, Mr Harry Tan, who was given a new posting.

St Andrew's now in very good hands under Ms Priscilla Krempl and the strong team of Heads of Department and dedicated teachers, are working in full force to lead the school "Up and On" with an "ethos of excellence".

We have now a new vision and a new perspective but also have in Ms P. Krempl, the stability of the traditions of the school. With new innovative ideas woven into the fabric of the school, a new and stronger mesh will emerge - we will sail with it and ride the winds of change to bring St Andrew's to the shores of excellence in this new age.

The Editorial Board wishes to thank the advertisers for their generous support without which this magazine would not be possible. To all those who have helped us in one way or another, we say a big thank you.

We thank the Junior School Principal, Ms Jacqueline Oehlers for taking charge of the Junior School Section.

JUNIOR SCHOOL

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3 : 5, 6 The Past year has been another year of blessing for us at St Andrew's Junior School. Our new school building is nearing completion and with eager anticipation we look forward to our move to new premises in the new year. God has indeed been faithful as seen in His provision for us in countless ways. As we reflect on the Lord's faithfulness to us, let us respond, as the above portion of Scriptures encourages us to, in two ways. Firstly, let us resolve to trust the Lord with all our hearts. In the midst of challenges, obstacles and disappointments let us remember that our confidence and trust in a faithful God will never be in vain. While we can never fully understand the ways of God, we can always be certain of His constant love and concern for us. Secondly, let us take note of the call to acknowledge the Lord in all our ways. This requires the surrender of our lives to the Lord and a willing obedience to His World. For if God is faithful, then it makes good sense to entrust our lives to Him and submit to His leading. In the face of the many uncertainties in life, the Lord can and will be our true source of security. So, as we rejoice at God's faithfulness to us, let us endeavour in all our lives, to trust Him with all our hearts and to acknowledge Him in all our ways. Rev Kingsley Ponniah SENIOR SCHOOL Living in between your ears ! Think future ! Live each day with God's strength and wisdom and you'll look back with much satisfaction. To the boys from Secondary 4 and 5 who will be leaving School and friends soon, may you build up the memories of your time with us and be thankful to God for his goodness and mercy always. May I take the opportunity to thank the teachers and pastoral staff, Joseph Chean & Andy Wee, who helped me during the chapel periods over the past years, the Boy's Brigade members and officers for their friendship and fellowship, the principal, Ms P. Krempl, and the teaching staff for being my co­ workers in pastoral care. As from 1st September 1995, the Revd. Tony Tan will be the new chaplain of the school. I commend him to your prayers and support. May the Lord be with us always. Revd. Tan Piah

FAREWELL NOTE

The Principal, Staff and Students would always remember Revd. Tan for his prayers, guidance and counsel during morning assem­ blies and chapel lessons. It was with a tinge of sadness that we bade farewell to him. Through the years Revd. Tan has been with us, he has given special interest to staff and pupil welfare. He has spent time counselling, teaching and helping the staff handle difficult situations and his cheerful and calm presence will surely be missed. He is truly a Man of God who goes where he is sent and in all that he does, he gives his best to the Master.

Three new faces joined the Committee as well viz. Mrs Gan Sim Ser, Mr Chan Heng Toon and Dr lmran Nawaz. SAPTA continues to serve as a support group to both St Andrew's Junior School and St Andrew's Secondary School, giving support to their Schools' activities and projects aimed at educating and motivating the boys to excel academically and to mould them into upright gentlemen. This year we sponsored several of the Secondary School's projects viz. the Christian Mission Trip to Malaysia, the Caulfield Exchange Programme and the 8th Asian Workshop on Child and Adolescent Devel­ opment. The talk organised by SAPTA on 29 July 1985 on 'How to change undesirable Adoles­ cent Behaviour' by Jim Moran was well-attended by parents who found it informative. The Projects sub-committee is currently planning a video presentation and discussion with participation from teachers and parents. SAPTA also sponsored both Schools in their Teachers' Day celebrations and will be holding a sumptuous dinner for the teachers and parents at the SAFRA Resort and Country Club to show our appreciation to the teachers for their dedication. With a view to help improve the School's ranking, SAPTA has set up a Scholarship Fund. It has donated $10,000/- towards awards to top Primary Six Students who opt in 1986 to enrol and continue their secondary school education at St Andrew's Secondary School. The details of the Scholarships are being worked out by the Scholarship Sub-Committee and will be made known to the students soon. SAPTA will therefore be organising several projects to raise funds for their Scholarship Fund, and will start with a marathon in February/March 1996.

We are encouraged by the increased participation by parents who are willing to give of their time and financial support to SAPTA and look forward to your continued interest.

Lord Bishop, our guest of honour, Mr Goh Chong Chia , mem­ bers of the Board, Mrs Goh Hwee Choo, our Senior Inspector, honoured guests, parents, teachers and pupils of St.Andrew's, welcome to St.Andrew's to our 133rd Founder's Day. The School report has been printed for your easy reference. It records our successes in our external examinations and extra­ curricular activities, it celebrates the achievements of individu­ als both students and staff and highlights the strategies which will keep us on course. But what of the future ? When I was a student here at St.Andrew's, the school was just passing its centenary. It was a time for celebrating the past success and wondering about the future. We are now in that future and the school has progressed well. New property and buildings and the change to a single-session school are obvious changes but other more important changes have happened too. Like many ex-students, I remember school days with great affection. I am sure I recall only all the good things and forget the bad - it's human nature to do so. However, being intimately involved with the education at St.Andrew's, I can, of course, notice the changes in education that have occurred over those years. Society has changed, Singapore has changed, the world has changed and educational practice has changed and all these trends have been quite correctly reflected in our education programmes at St. Andrew's. Is the school better or worse than it was in my day ? The answer is that it is necessarily different and that comparing the two era is really an unfruitful effort unless you simul­ taneously compare the social settings, the national goals and the world position of those two times. Having said that I would dare to look into the future with a definite measure of confidence and would attempt to suggest where St.Andrew's will be heading in the future. The first point is that St.Andrew's is an academic school and it will remain so. Academic competition has become more intense, particularly since school ranking became public knowledge. It is a fact that St.Andrew's has not fared quite as well as we have expected as our standards and expectations are high although subjects like Design and Technology and Biology both have high distinction rates and others like Mathematics, Geography, Art and Tamil still command distinction rates above National average. But already programmes are in place to address this issue and to recover lost ground. Special programmes for gifted students and strategies for ensuring we attract such students have been introduced. For example, we have available scholarships for the top ten PSLE pupils from the Junior School enrolling in the secondary school. Out of the ten, the best will receive the RKS Adam's Scholarship which is over and above the Edusave scholarship. To help pupils academically, we have remedial and special programmes. We conduct peer tutoring and courses in English and Chinese composition writing skills, a learning and study skills programme, among a host of others. In addition assessment procedures have been examined and will be altered to provide a reliable means of measuring our improvement. So in future, I see St.Andrew's continuing to be a highly successful, attractive academic school achieving a place in the top twenty-five schools in Singapore. This must be achieved by producing extraordinary outcomes from ordinary inputs. St.Andrew's does not wish and has never wished to be exclusive or elitist, our aim is to produce the best in our pupils. The school has always been a leader in science and technology. This must continue. The world will need more science-minded and literate citizens in the future. Here again, St. Andrew's is quickly catching up with the rest of the field. Computers must become a natural part of the fabric of learning. The future will see St.Andrew's regain its place in the lead but considerable capital expense and professional development for staff will be required. This process is already underway and staff are quickly embracing a new view of education. The ranking process, where emphasis has been placed solely on academic results pegged against the PSLE performance, can threaten to unbalance the basic educational premise. But the new value-added component adds a new dimension to measuring academic standards. St.Andrew's has been and will 20 encourage pupils to do their personal best and aim for excellence not only in the academics but also in other facets of their lives. There is much more to education than academic achievement. St.Andrew's prides itself on producing fine future citizens and contributing members of the community. Sound values, self-esteem, a love of learning and so on may not be so visibly measured but they are at least as equally important as the academic focus in producing young people of quality. The St.Andrew's of the future will be a people's place where individuals are valued and nurtured, where each voice is a voice to be heard and where personal triumphs are celebrated. Overall statistics must not be allowed to cloud individual success. Each person should be encouraged to achieve his personal best in all endeavour. At this point, I would like to commend Mohd lswan, Teo Wee Tee and Wee Lee, Ivan Goh, Leon Boey and Nigel Eng for achieving their personal best in their ECA's . Care and respect for others must also be a natural part of the school atmosphere. The pastoral care and discipline systems must change to meet the future. Encouragement to succeed rather than discouragement of failure must become the philosophy. Our team of teacher counsellors are very aware of this basic tenet. After all , punishment is often too late; the wrong has been committed. We must in essence develop proactive ways to make pupils perform their best in all things, to become innovative thinkers and risk takers, to be life-long learners. School should be a place of enjoyment and pleasure, of encouragement and support and of mutual respect and selfless service. This will be the St.Andrew's of the future and it is taking form already. The school is unashamedly a Christian Anglican school. Pupils must be encouraged to explore spiritual pathways, they must be guided in developing moral values for life, they must be provided with avenues for service. The Gospel message must not only be heard it must be evident in the life of the school. St.Andrew's must be a beacon to set students on the right path through an increasingly materialistic and amoral world. This too is already happening. Our recent mission to Malaysia shows that pupils are willing to hold acceptable values and share them and put them into practice. One area we ex-students have also seen through rose-tinted glasses is sport and extra-curricular activ­ ity. It seems to be always better back then. I was indeed surprised that our rugby side which came in second this year, was seen as below par. The criticism of some was ridiculous as it was damaging. Competition is great and we must strive to be the best but there is more to sports than this, surely. Teamwork, sportsmanship and the joys of physical activity must not be sullied by unbridled lust for winning . Our aim is to produce champion teams rather than teams of champions. We will surprise our competition by delivering extraordinary results from apparently ordinary players. We are developing young people and that must be seen as the broader goal than just winning. Of course, St.Andrew's will continue to win gold medals and accolades in the future as they have in the various Extra Curricular activities like the Indoor Band Competition, Waterpolo and Junior School and Hockey but our sportsmen should be the best in the competition in other ways too. St.Andrew's will become an outward-looking school. We will become more involved in community serv­ ice and thus develop more understanding of community needs. Pupils must be trained as future citizens of Singapore and the world; they should become individuals who are fully aware of the rights and responsibilities that are involved in such serious commitments. In this respect, old boys and parents who are already active participants in society, can help to open this world to pupils. The St.Andrew's of tomorrow must have an active and vital PTA and SAOBA who work readily with the principal to achieve the school's goals. It is important that these groups continue to be seen as supportive and innovative. Parents and old boys can give invaluable services to the school. This will be the hallmark of the St.Andrew's of the future. This teamwork is already happening and I thank the PTA and the SAOBA for their significant contribution to the life of the school. I have yet to mention the staff. To those who have never taught, teaching can appear to be a simple task but it is anything but that. The demands on teachers' time outside the classroom has never been greater and in addition teachers are required to hone their skills continually to keep pace with the rapid changes happening in the profession. At St.Andrew's we have an excellent and dedicated staff who give freely of their time and expertise. There is a genuine willingness to help the pupils in their care while meeting pressing demands placed upon them. I acknowledge the outstanding contribution of my col­ leagues. I take this opportunity to thank my predecessor, Mr Harry Tan for his contribution to the school. Mr Tan gave St.Andrew's eighteen years of dedicated service. He was instrumental in the building of the new secondary school and its annexes which allowed the school to go single-session. I would also like to thank Rev Tan Piah who will be leaving us, for his spiritual leadership in the life of the school. I thank them and the teachers for their unstinting service and I commend them for their achievements. The future will be no easier. The pace of changes is unlikely to slacken and academic and social demands will become even greater. St.Andrew's must continue to have a special staff and the school must support them as much as possible. Decent staff amenities and resources and fair recog­ nition of teachers' work must be placed on very high priority.

St.Andrew's is, and will continue to be a great school. It will be a school whose values set the 21 standards for other schools, it will be a school whose care for the individual is the envy of other schools, it will be a school whose achievements are remarkable, whose students are remarkable and whose reputation is unassailable. It will be a school in which the ordinary becomes extraordinary, where expectations are exceeded and where superlative are commonplace, in short, it is a school where lives are in the making, hearts are in the waking and there is mighty undertaking - where history is in the making. History has it that our Guest of Honour, Mr Goh Chong Chia was, when at school, sorry for the revelation, was not an extraordinary student. He was shy and somewhat reticent. But he listened to everything his teachers taught him, and kept within his heart a quiet courage, which he only chose to show at the right time. He was in the medicine class when doing his "A" levels but then he decided to make a switch; he pursued architecture instead of medicine. He dared to be different. Today, he is a highly respected President of the Singapore Institute of Architects. He can't beat too many people at golf. But he is an excellent snow skier who has challenged the Alpine slopes. Ladies and gentlemen, the qualities Mr Goh has are the qualities of a Saint, spelt with a capital "S" . Now it gives me great pleasure to call upon our Guest-of-Honour, Mr Goh Chong Chia to address us. SPEECH BY GUEST-OF HONOUR - MR GOH CHONG CHIA My Lord Bishop Moses Tay The School Supervisors, Mr Tan Sao Kiang and Mr Gerald Lim Members of the Board of Governors Principals of the School Representatives from the Old Boy's Association Distinguished Guests Parents, Staff and Fellow Saints

When I was asked to be the Guest of Honour for this 133rd Founder's Day, I looked at the role of Honour on the walls of the hall and told myself that I was neither an academic dux nor did I excel in athletic endeavour while at school. It is therefore a great honour to be asked by one's alma mater to address the School as my only credential is simply that of being an old boy.

I asked myself what could I tell you and what message I could pass on to you today. I will tell you what the school was like, how we got here, what lessons we learnt along the way and what St.Andrew's has meant to me.

Education is a great social institution and St Andrew's going back 133 years is a tribute to this process. The school is not simply a place but a lifestyle. We arrived as bright-eyed seven year olds, a little frightened of the world and emerged moulded by this process into street-wise teenagers ten years later.

I remember the great excitement of being promoted to the 'big school'. It was a big step for a child from kindergarten to take. I remember clearly the huge pink building with its tower and its fish-scale motifs on the walls. The approach to the school was through a narrow stony lane with a steep incline, making the sense of arrival even more imposing.

We were forty strangers when we met in Primary 1 for the first time. Ten years later, we left as friends, sharing a common past. We have grown up together and have gone through the trials and tribulations of success and failures. We had befriended each other for no other reason than pure friendship and these friends will last a life-time. Unlike later life friendships, these relationships will be simple and uncomplicated by other hidden motives.

There was a deep depression where the Toa Payoh Flyover now stands and this was one of our two school fields. We waited for the recess bell to ring as this signalled a temporary reprieve from formal classes. The escarpment of the playfield became imaginary castle walls and battle fields. At the highest point of the hill was a great Bunyan tree which was central to the lives of the students. Unfortunately, it has since been chopped down. Perhaps we should replant another within the new school compound.

This Bunyan tree was very much a symbol of the school with its numerous roots holding up and feeding the entire tree. The fruits it bore became the ammunition for the battles that were played out on this escarpment. The battle lines shifted between waves of attack and defence. This was our equivalent of today's Great Workout. Unfortunately, the field has since been filled in and turned into an efficient

22 motorway with its accompanying noise. I suppose this is part of progress that we must live with. Games and sports are part of the growing-up process as through them we learn to be social beings. We had no computer games or the sophisticated gadgetry that you now have. Games were simpler and more innovative and we made up the rules as we went along. Marble and gasing were the order of the day. Numerous holes and circles were dug meticulously and drawn ceremoniously on the red clay. These games were seasonal and took on the fervour of a league championship. The regular rugby matches between us and Raffles Institution were a central part of the sports calendar. In those days, we won more often and our sportsmanship was sometimes tested to the limit.

The Potong Pasir of old was subject to constant flooding after every heavy downpour, bringing in a stream of refugees using the school hall as their refuge. It reminded us of the less fortunate as well as the constant battle with nature. Boys played doctors and first-aiders. Perhaps it is from this batch that a few went on to become doctors and social workers.

Potong Pasir has changed beyond all recognition over the last 30 years. What was once vegetable farmland has now become high-rise flats. While the school was once in the midst of a rural setting, today we are a part of a new town. These constant changes will always be a part of the lifestyle of Singapore.

Changes have also taken place in the celebration of National Day. The spectacular National Day display at the Padang this year was vastly different from the one I participated in 1 959 when we achieved self­ government. It was a simple, less sophisticated display but with no less national fervour than what we experience today. The sophisticated laser display somehow reminds us of how far we have come.

In 1962, we celebrated the schools' Centenary. We spent weeks scrubbing the school clean, repainting the walls and hanging up the bunting. I remember making geographical models of the process of erosion. I have always wondered what happened to these models, whether they were ever used again for classes that came after us. The great event was held in the Quadrangle and Canon Adams came back to celebrate with us.

There had been many changes over the last 30 years. While we studied British Colonial History and world Geography, today we look at ourselves and the region in greater depth. We have developed greater self-confidence in the way we do things. We have become more affluent and more aware of the things that define a better quality of life.

We are in the last years of the 20th Century and on the threshold of a new Millennium. While we once measured ourselves within the confines of the island of Singapore, today we look outwards to the region and the rest of the world. Your jobs and work places may not be in Singapore but far a field. You must develop a world outlook.

The world has shifted to Asia and the 21st Century will be Asia's century. Great opportunities will be opened to all of you . Both the moral and academic education that you receive here will you to be useful and responsible members of society. Tomorrow belongs to you. You must have the guts to have your dreams and visions and to define tomorrow's Singapore as we had to define today's Singapore. We must remember that life is not simply made for material ends. Today's dreams will be tomorrow's realities.

Central to the school are the teachers. They are the vital software in the system. They pass on to you their knowledge and experiences. We know how much they cared for us, how proud they were of us when we succeeded and how much sadness they felt within themselves when we did not do too well. Let me on behalf of all of us here thank our teachers. Education is the greatest gift a parent can give to his child, for which we must also thank our parents.

To the students in your final year at t he school, may I leave this thought with you . When you leave the classroom for the last time after your 'O' levels, remember that this may be the last time that you will be together as one class in one place. You had come to school daily and had assumed that this arrange­ ment would last forever. As you go your separate ways, you will realise that this day will be a unique day in your life.

May I congratulate all t he students who will be receiving prizes today and thank again the school for invit ing me here. Just 30 years ago, I left St Andrew's to study architecture in England. Perhaps, in 30 years' time, one of you will be up here and if God permits, I assure you I will be here even if I have to come on crutches or in a wheelchair to listen to your speech. Thank you.

This year Christian Fellowship meetings were held from 10.45 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. on Saturdays. The meetings were held later so that pupils who were involved in other activities held earlier could join Christian Fellowship.

There are about 30 members and the majority of them are from Primary four.

Lessons on 'Patience' and 'How To Overcome Fear' were held. The boys were tested on the Christian Fellowship Award System test items and were also encour­ aged to borrow books from the Church of the Ascension Library.

In order to cater to the varied inter­ ests of the boys, they were allowed to play badminton, soccer and indoor games.

The boys also went on outings which included the Singapore Zoological Gardens.

All these activities were carried out with the assistance of Mr Dennis Tan , the Ascension Church pastoral staff.

- ~--~ - The Science Club recruited a total of 40 boys from Primary 4 to Primary 6 this year. These boys are divided into groups and they take turns to be responsible in the maintenance of the aquariums and the new hydrophonic project.

For the hydroponic project, the boys first visited a hydroponic farm to find out first hand what it is like and to learn how to start and maintain a mini hydroponic garden. Back in school, a group of boys started their project. They met with some successes and failures. They found difficulties in taking care of the young plants and subsequently took steps to ensure that they grow well in the future. They also learnt to problem solve when their "young charges" were not growing as well as expected.

Every member in the Science Club took part in the Young Scientist Badge Awards this year. The Primary Four boys took the Botanist Award and the Primary Five and Six boys took either the Zoologist Award or Chemist Award. The projects produced by the boys will be displayed at the Young Scientist Award Exhibition later this year. The boys had a lot of fun doing the projects and some boys even learnt how to transfer what they had learnt during their Science lessons to the projects they were doing, for example, in the planning of an experiment to find out the amount of salt in sea water.

The Science Club welcomes Mrs Teo Wan Woon, who joined the Club in July.

53 The School Choir would like to bid a warm welcome to Mrs Angela Lim who joined the School this year. Her experience will surely bring the School Choir to a greater height.

Our Choir boys participated in this year's Singapore Youth Festival Music and Dance Com­ petition which is a bi-annual event. The Central Judging was held on 1st April, 1995 at the Singa­ pore Conference Hall. The two songs presented were

(1) 'Humoreske' a two-part song by Antoni Dvorak (2) 'Morning Song' a Czech Folk Song

On 12th April, 1995, 27 Choir boys from the afternoon session attended the Chanticleer Students' Concert at the Victoria Concert Hall. They had an enjoyable time listening to the melo­ dious rendition of the Choir.

Teachers-in-charge : Mrs Lim Wee Leng Mrs Angela Lim Adopting the approach of our coach, Mr Gerard Danker, of not rejecting anybody interested to know and learn the game, we have a high membership this year.

Membership of the group rose to as high as 49 players. However, we have boys quitting due to parental objections or when they have found that Hockey is not their forte. Spirits remain high as we have almost as many boys coming in as members after the initial recruitment. These boys became interested when they have seen the game and the enthusiasm their hockey friends or classmates have.

This year, we had a group of highly enthusiastic Primary 4 boys joining the Junior Division. Despite the fact that they were re­ cruited much later than the Primary 5 boys, they were on par with the Primary boys. Our Primary 6 boys worked equally hard and a remarkable im­ provement was seen in many of them.

Our school par­ ticipated in the "Youth Development Hockey 6-A-Side Tour­ nament" organised by the National Hockey Federation this year. Due to our large membership, we were able to send 5 teams to participate in the whole day affair. We ended up with being the school with the largest number of boy's team participating in the tournament.

4 teams were sent for the Kallang District Tournament this year. Our school experienced great victory with both our Junior and Senior boys clinching the title of the "Kallang District Mini­ Hockey Champion" for both the Junior and Senior Division. The second teams of both our Junior and Senior Division were as victorious being the 2nd runners-up.

This is the 4th consecutive year our Junior boys had clinched the title of being the Champion of their division.

True to their spirit, our boys continued to train hard during the June Holidays at the School of Physical Education and Delta Sports Complex, preparing for the National Mini-Hockey Tourna­ ment due in July. We shared the same training grounds with Xishan Primary School and had a friendly match with them at the Delta Stadium.

We are looking forward to the game with much enthusiasm.

Three promising players were identified and selected to play for the school in the National Championship 1994. These three players were Kamal Nasir, Foo Yong En and Mohd Rifaee Rahmat. The exposure did these boys a great deal of good and they formed the strive-force of the 1995 team which emerged champion in the Kallang District Football Tourna­ ment.

Attendance on Saturdays was very good.

Mini-Rugby is one of the main games in our school. At present, we have about forty boys in training. They are from P4 to P6. Training sessions are held on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 1.45 a.m. at St Andrew's Secondary School pitch.

Our school team gave a demonstration match against Tanglin Junior School at the SCC Padang on March 12th 1995.

On April 29th and May 27th 1995, our boys played friendly matches against United World College at their school pitch.

On May the 1st 1995, Mr Seet Pee An, the teacher-in-charge of Mini-Rugby since it was implemented in primary schools in 1988 retired from the teaching profession. We would like to thank him for his invaluable service.

On 1st July 1995, our school organised our first Under-12 10-a-Side Mini-Rugby Carnival at St Andrew's Secondary School pitch. Schools with Mini-Rugby teams were invited to participate in this joyful event.

75 FAREWELL FOR MR HARRY TAN

Farewell Letter from Mr Tan (31st December 1994) : Dear staff, pupils and parents, This letter is written on the eve of New Year of 1995. It is also the eve of my departure from St Andrew's Secondary School (SASS) in order to take up my new appointment as the Principal of Whitley Secondary School which is a neighbourhood Government School in Bishan. After having served as Principal of my alma mater for a litter over 18 years, it is only natural that I leave SASS with sadness. How­ ever, I must be mindful that I am a senior Government Education Officer on loan to the Board of Governors of St Andrew's School since December 1976 and I could be recalled anytime and be given a new posting especially when there are so many vacancies to be filled. My new posting to administer in another school is therefore a positive indicator that all is well in SASS. Specifically, the school will be in very good hands under Ms Priscilla Krempl and the strong team of Heads of Department.

The building and physical development of SASS in our Potong Pasir campus had been successfully completed and we now have a 44-classroom single-session ultra modern school for the benefit of our staff and pupils. I am also able to say that I am leaving the school with surplus money for the new administration to use. For all these, I must thank God for His grace and guiding hand and for giving to me the strength and courage to face all odds to do only what is right and pleasing to Him. I must also thank Him for giving to me the many close friends and supporters, together with my entire staff, whose encouragement, loyalty and unstinting support went beyond all bounds. These people had made my work in SASS so much easier. Although I feel sad at having to leave SASS, I also feel relieved that I am going to a Government school where I shall hope to be less pressured because I will not be required to be responsible for building programmes, fund-raising and frequent meetings especially in the evenings. I anticipate therefore that I should have more time to spend with my loved ones and friends. This is God's answer to my prayers. As I end this letter, I will like to express the following wishes in writing : a. the new administration to continue to do what is proper and right, without fear or favour. We may not be able to please all the people all the time but we will certainly be pleasing to the Almighty at all times; b. the staff to continue to work hard for the boys and to support the administration; c. the pupils to work hard, be loyal and at all times to project the good image of the school; d. the supporters to continue to assist the school and be mindful not to (nor appear to) interfere with the running of the school which is under a very capable administration. Supporters are expected to give without counting the cost nor to expect reward not to demand recognition. We support the school because we love the school and not for any selfish reason(s). I now take this opportunity to wish one and all God's richest blessing on you. I trust that I have been a channel of blessing for you and I thank Him for the opportunity to serve in St Andrew's School - the school I love best. As I take over another school, I shall count it a privilege to be given a new mission field. I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - so long as I am prepared to be led by Him. Finally, let us be reminded that we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto us (Matt 6 : 33). With abiding good wishes, Yours in the Spirit of the Saints

HARRY TAN Principal

78 LL SPEECH

Tonight we want to pay tribute to Mr Tan and recognise the years of devotion, commitment and love of this man to the School. Eighteen years and two weeks he has spent with the school. We remember how with God's help, he envisioned a new School in Potong Pasir, sold his dream to everybody around him and helped raise the funds for this project. I remember sometime 10 years ago he sang during one of the PTA dinners so that he could raise funds for the School. Old boys are called upon to help and many have been encouraged to give. Today the building in Potong Pasir is a testimony of God's faithfulness in using Mr Tan to bring God's school to completion. Not only that, Mr Tan is also instrumental in adding new wings to the School so that we can soar like eagles. Through his effort we have become a single session school. We salute you Mr Tan for your tireless devotion and your undying loyalty to the School.

The School is just an empty shell without the Students and Staff. We remember Mr Tan for his love and compassion shown to those around him. We often hear him appealing to poor students to approach him whenever they are in need. He is not ashamed of expressing his love for the whole School and treating the boys as a father would his children. Though he may constantly be admonishing them or even punishing them, we know how much he feels for each of them under his charge. Indeed it is an inevitable task caring for over 1 , 700 students. In spite of this he has never deviated from his no-nonsense approach to incorrigible and recalcitrant boys.

We remember how he used to spend time with the graduating classes; sharing with them his love for Mathematics and making them a big part of his life; the time and effort spent polishing them to get better grades.

We can never deny the love of Mr Tan for the boys and his desire to transform them into men of grace and polish.

We recall the times when Mr Tan held mass assemblies and met with the boys so that we teachers can have time to complete our heavy marking schedules. We also remember the times when he has helped in relief duties whenever there is a shortage of teachers. Thank you Mr Tan for your expression of love not in words but in deeds as well.

We know Mr Tan to be meticulous and I remember him keeping his deadlines, filing his income tax returns way beforehand, completing the minutes on the very day the Board of Governors meet and getting things on time. I will miss him and his car every morning when I turn into the School's compound for he is always the earliest in School. He has never taken a day's MC and indeed God has blessed him. If we recall the words in the School Hymn - we can identify Mr Tan as one of the servants whom our School was built of old .

We and other students will and continue to reap what Mr Tan has sown and many more others after us.

One family unbroken - though you may be away from us you will always continue to be a part of us because we join with one acclaim; One heart one voice uplifting to glorify God's name.

May God continue to guide and bless you in your new mission field and may His countenance continue to shine upon you. STAFF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TECHNOSAT Computer Appreciation Workshop (21 January '95)

111 The aim of PCCG is to help develop each student to become a well-rounded individual to achieve his maximum potential. Various programmes are planned throughout the year to achieve this. The highlight for this year is the Orientation Camp for the Sec. Ones. The Orientation Camp is compulsory for all Sec One boys and is run by "A Few Good Men". These specially trained Camp Instructors together with the help of teachers, are there to instruct, inspire and to inculcate the true spirit of the Saints. The inaugural leadership enhancement course was conducted in November 1994 to select "A Few Good Men" to serve as Camp Instructors and mentors for the 1995 Sec One cohort. This specially designed course enabled them to fulfil their potential and to meet any challenge called upon by the school. To groom our boys to become gentlemen of grace and polish, the Sec Four boys attend a Social Etiquette Course. They are taught conversation skills, table manners and the art of fine dining. Career Forums are held after the Sec Four Preliminary examinations for all graduating students. Old boys from the various professions come to share with us. There is also a talk of Interviewee Skills covering all aspects of job interviews. Talks by Junior Colleges and Polytechnics are also held to help our boys make informed choices. Every boy in St. Andrew's is encouraged to do some form of community service. All Sec One boys are rostered to visit the St. John's Home for the Aged. They usually bring gifts or food items and bring cheer to the old folks. Food Fairs are held each term to raise funds for the needy students in the school. Proceeds from the Food Fairs go towards paying school fees, providing lunch money and bus stamps for students on financial aid. There is also a Food Distribution once a term for some needy families in the community. Essential items like cooking oil, milk, sugar and rice etc are given. Boys are also encouraged to participate in Flag Days to help raise funds for charitable organisations.

Other on-going programmes include the Class Cleanliness and Noticeboard Contests, Career Guidance and Counselling. Boys are encouraged to seek counsel should they need help in any area of their lives. Teach­ ers are always ready to lend a listening ear and to show that they care. Men of Grace and Polish......

ATHLETICS

The year started with our 4x1 OOm 'B' team being finalists in the SPH Invitational Relays. In the Caltex Meet, we were finalists in the 1 OOm and 400mm Hurdle events. An electronically timed record was set in the 1 OOm Hurdle event. During the National Schools Track/Field Meet, we were finalists in the 1 OOm/400m Hurdle, 4x1 OOm , 3000m and Shot Put events. Finally, in the Western Australian Invitational, we won a bronze for the 1 OOm Hurdle, the only medal in the hurdling events for Singapore.

128 HOCKEY The Saints Hockey team, started preparing for the 1995 tournaments in late December 1994.

During the pre-competition period, the team trained twice a week and played friendly games with some of the top teams from various schools. This year, the intake of new players from secondary one was not as good as in the previous year. However our 'C' division team still managed to perform well in this year's tournament.

This season, our hockey team had a very good start by retaining our Championship title in the AJC Invitational Hard-court Hockey tournament which was held in November last year. The team beat Siling Secondary School with a prominent hockey team 3 - 0 in the finals. In the 6-a-side tourna­ ment which was held in April 1 995, our 'C' division team found their way to the semi-finals. Unfortunately, luck was not on our side as we lost to Raffles Institution in the penalty shoot-out after a goalless full-time. In the 3rd/4th placings match, our team beat Yuhua Secondary 3 - 0 to win the bronze.

Our 'B' division team was grouped together with top hockey teams from Yuhua Secondary, Raffles Institution and Anglo-Chinese School. Though our team put a very strong fight we were eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

RUGBY B Division Preparations for the 1995 season began as early as December '94 with a warm-up tournament in Kuala Lumpur. In the Malaysian Rugby Union Under -16 ten-aside tournament, our team put in thier good effort and won a place in the second round of the Champions League.

We started the season well by making it to the semi-finals of the SCC 'Ts'. We lost to the eventual champions, UWC. In the National Schools U-17 tournament, the boys played very well which enable them to beat the fancied ACS team in the semi-finals. Unfortunately, we lost to Greenridge Sec. School in the finals by 10 - 3.

Team captains Andrew Kwong and Freddy Ong were selected to represent Combined Schools in the SRU U-20 tournament. Special thanks to Mr Teo Han Chua for his valuable assistance and Mrs Krempl for her support.

C Division

The 'C' Division boys started training early in the year with twice weekly sessions. Mr Yee Teck Peng came in as the coach in the later part of May and training were stepped up to thrice weekly in preparation for the Goh Keng Swee Challenge Shield.

In the preliminary rounds of the tournament, SAS beat Greenridge S.S. convincingly but lost out to both ACS & RI.

In the semi-finals, the boys rose to the occasion but were beaten by RI with a score of 12 - 7. Despite the disappointment, the boys can take consolation in that they improved tremendously over the course of a few weeks to narrow the gap between themselves and R.I. and eventually received third placing.

Much appreciation must go to Mr Yee Teck Peng for his tireless efforts in grooming the boys' skills and fitness throughout the tournament

130 Rugby Matches

A case ,, oJ snatch and grab?

A tussle for the ball!

131 Fourteen members of the Sailing group [Sec 1 - 3) began the year by attending the preliminary Sailing Course at the Changi Point Commando Jetty Sailing Club. The boys were trained in Mirror Dinghies; two man boats which are made of glass-fibre or wood . Some boys were able to use the single-man optimist boats.

The boys learnt the point of sailing, over-board drill, trimming the sail, light wind sailing techniques and crewmanship. They put theory into practice in the classroom before taking to the boats. They were trained to 'rig-up' their own boats and to be responsible for them at all times.

The sailing conditions at Changi have been rather variable from fresh offshore winds to tedious becalmed doldrums. This variety of conditions has been appropriate training for our sailors, especially during becalmed weather which makes great demands upon the skills and teamsmanship of the two-men-crew. They really have to learn how to put their trust in each other.

The culmination of our course was to witness several of our boys enter the School's Sailing Championships which were held at the East Coast Sailing Centre in July 1995. Clement Tee, Teo Wee Lee and Teo Wee Tee performed especially well. Clement has helped the younger boys and has displayed good leadership skills. He has been especially supportive and although he did not manage to gain honours, he has, undoubtedly a very good sailing future ahead of him for he has all the essential qualities of commitment and courage. The brothers, Wee Tee and Wee Lee both performed extremely well during the National Schools Sailing Championships each bringing back a Silver Medal for 2nd place [B & C division) to complete the year's programme. Wee Lee was subsequently chosen to represent Singapore in the International Schools Sailing Championships which were held in Norway in August 1995 - Wee Lee entered the 'Optimist' Class and although not placed, learnt a great deal about sailing and dealing with world-class competition.

Our sailing activities have now come to a halt. Since Commando Jetty is temporarily out of service, we are busy looking for another venue until the jetty can be used again. We hope to resume as soon as possible and to continue a small but important 'growth' ECA at St Andrew's.

After edging out three other schools in its group, the team made it ta the finals of the 20th National Schools Waterpala Championships. The finals were played against Angla Chinese Schaal, a school renowned far its prowess in swimming and waterpala. After a gruelling match, which saw St. Andrew's dawn 3-0 after the first quarter, we managed ta beat ACS 10-7. This was our second Gold title after 1 994's win aver Outram Secondary Schaal.

ACTIVITIES

RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN The recruitment campaign was successfully carried out in January and we now have 49 librarians on weekly duty.

BOOK DISPLAYS : Book displays are held throughout the year. The theme of the display changes fortnightly taking into account the interests of our readers. Books on display are loaned out as soon as possible. The aim is to encourage the reading habit in school.

ACQUISITION OF NEW BOOKS : Acquisition trips are held periodically during the year. We have increased our existing collections of English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil books. Both senior and junior librarians participated in the book trips. The aim is to help them make book choices judiciously.

UPGRADING OF SCHOOL LIBRARY SYSTEM: The existing school library system version 3 .1 has been upgraded to version 3 .2 during the first semester. The new features help the library to run more efficiently. Students' details in the computer have also been updated.

FILM APPRECIATION : Two film appreciation sessions were held during the year. However. the re­ sponse was poor. It is hoped that with better publicity given for screening times, the response will be more encouraging in future.

VISIT : Nine librarians joined the AVA members of the school on a visit to Ping Yi Secondary School in July. They met librarians of Ping Yi Secondary School to share ideas on library management and activities. It is hoped that some of the ideas gathered during the visit will help in the running of the library in 1996.

THANKS : The library committee would like to thank all teachers and library officers for their guidance during the year.

Tang Mun Kiat Vice-Head Librarian, 1995

136 The club, formed 3 years ago, has received tremendous support from both students and teach­ ers. Members meet every Friday from 2 - 4 p.m. for various club activities. These activities are planned to stimulate interest for Art. They include hands-on sessions on pottery, plaster model­ ling and photo-frame making. An expert was invited to give a demonstration in the making of pop­ up cards. With a well-planned and interesting schedule, the club looks forward to an exciting and promising future.

Finally, we would like to express a big thank you to our teacher-in-charge, Miss Jacqueline Ngin for her inspiration and invaluable advice.

The PA. Crew provides efficient support for many school functions. Weekly maintenance of equipment is carried out to provide better service to both staff and pupils. This weekly mainte­ nance programme is also supported by the maintenance contract technician during scheduled visits.

Two major programmes were organised. Four boys attended a one-week course in sound-slide production at the Catholic Audio Visual Centre during the June holidays. AV members went on a field trip in July to Ping Yi Secondary School to study the Media Club . This proves to be an enlightening experience for our boys who were taught to operate many types of hi-tech A V equipment. They also learned useful services such as the "Core Draw". In August, the Club also held a Farewell Party to bid our senior members farewell.

Members of the Christian Fellowship meet regularly on Fridays during Hearbeat Hour for a time of fellowship, spiritual growth and fun. Throughout the year, the Heartbeat Hour has been blessed by God abundantly. Attendance is regular by the 35 students from the upper and lower second­ ary school. Committee members meet once a term to plan the activities of the Heartbeat Hour. The activities include Bible studies, games, an outing to Fantasy Island, talks and video pro­ grammes. The members also meet daily after school hours for prayer and fellowship.

During this year's Religious Emphasis Week, under the guidance of Chapel staff. Joseph Chean, our own members performed a few dance items to rap and jazz music. The response of the students to the gospel has been encouraging for a total number of 190 boys either accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal saviour or rededicated their lives to Him. The senior commit­ tee members and the church staff served as counsellors.

We also had our first SASS Great Awakening Mission Team to Malaysia. This group consists of 16 students from SAS, 4 YF girls from Chapel of the Holy Spirit, 6 members from the Church and 2 teachers, Mr Noel Tan and Mrs Rosalind Ho. Under the leadership of Mr Joseph Chean, the group ministered to 4 different churches and at a mission school in Kuala Lumpur. Many lives were touched and challenged to a deeper commitment with Christ by the testimonies of our boys.

In addition, we also organised a concert on the eve of National Day. The mission team performed and shared testimonies. 25 students came forward for prayer and made a deeper commitment to God. Early in the morning on this day, a group of students got together to pray for the school and the nation.

We will be organising a camp in November and we believe that God will use us to reach out to His people. Finally, we would like to thank God for all His blessings upon us and the principal, Ms Krempl for her encouragement and strong support to the Christian Fellowship.

140 7IIE 9'REAT ~WAKENING KUALA LUMPUR TOUR 30th June - 3rd July 1995

Acting on God's command to "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matt 28: 19), a group of Saints prepared themselves for their part in the Great Commission to bring the Good News to people in Kuala Lumpur.

This mission trip was distinctive in a few ways. Firstly, the gospel was to preach in song, dance, drama, mime and personal testimony. Some of the boys in the group had never danced before, and had to be introduced to jazz ballet, funk and hip-hop styles of dance during their training. Most impor­ tantly, many were not active Christians for a long time.

In 5 performances at 4 locations in Kuala Lumpur, the message of the Gospel not only touched the congregations, but also prompted these churches to re­ evaluate their own relationship with God as individuals and as a whole church. Over 40 people responded in rededication and commitments to God, and at least 1 instance of miracu­ lous healing during the last performance.

For the team members, they learnt that in the giving of themselves, they also received a fresh touch from God on "Yes, ma 'am!": some final instructions from their lives. Many, once thought to be rejected and worthless, Ms Krempl. received a fresh start with a right relationship with God in Obedience and Trust. To God be the Glory !

We participated in the National Individual Chess Championship held during the March holidays. In this competition, the boys captured the 17th, 18th & 20th positions and we hope to do better the next time.

At the Inter-School National Team Chess Championship for the Tay Eng Soon Challenge Trophy, held during the June holidays, the upper secondary team comprising the Captain Lau Won Yung, Eric Tan Boon Hoe, Winston Lim Wei Kwan, Matthew Ong Yong Cheng, Jon Tan Kiang Heng and reserves Tan Hou Keat and Eugene Lee Kwok Chiang, captured the title beating traditional favour­ ites like Raffles Institution and Anglo-Chinese School (Independent]. This is the first time in the history of the school that we have won the Team Championship title.

The Saints' Computer Club has an enrolment of 56 members. Meetings are held on Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 .00pm onwards. The Club has been active in many inter-school events.

VI Comp, which was held by the Victoria Junior College was the first on our list. We sent in a team of three members and it was an enriching experience for us. We also participated in the 5th Inter-School Micromouse Competition organized by the Ngee Ann Polytechnic held at the Takashimaya Square in April. 22 of our fellow students sat for the 1st Australian Computer Studies Competition held in our school.

A team of 6 boys attended the JSIST [Japan-Singapore Institute of Soft Technology) C Program­ ming Language Workshop held during the June holidays, while another team of 3 was sent for the Automation Awareness Workshop held by St. Gabriel's Secondary School and the Mechanical Engineering Dept. of Ngee Ann Polytechnic. A total of 16 boys in 4 teams also took part in the Inter-School Robotic Competition held by Ngee Ann Polytechnic during the September holidays. We will also send boys for the JSIST Networking Awareness Workshop held during the November holidays.

The most enriching experience we had was doing the very first Computer Club Newsletter, Saints Bytes. Other than increasing our scope of computer knowledge through research, it allowed us to get to know one another better. A farewell party cum social gathering for the Sec 4s and other Computer Club members was held in September.

There are altogether 22 Lower Secondary members and 13 Upper Secondary members.

Members were introduced to simple electrical and household repairs under strict supervision. They found the lessons (both theoretical and practical) very interesting and enriching. Further­ more, most of the members have completed making their projects and are looking forward to learning electronics. Our members are committed towards the club and we hope it will continue to flourish in the years ahead.

The English LOOS has been active this year with regular meetings regarding the two major com­ mitments of the debating group. Firstly, we had to organise the school debates for secondary one to secondary four. The lively preliminary rounds took place during March and April, culminating in the finals which were held on National Day. The Winners were Sec 1 C, 28 and 3SA. The Runners-up were Sec 10, 2C and 3ST.

Recognition must be given to Satish Rai, Sachin Rai , Kenneth Tan and Terenjit Singh all from 4A 1 for their invaluable help in organising the debates and taking part as chairman and time-keepers during the finals. Thanks ought to go to the staff who judged the debates despite a very busy workload.

The second major event was the ELOOS participation, together with the History Dept, in prepar­ ing the boys for the Mock-UN Conference which was held at Raffles Junior College.

We were disappointed not to have been invited to participate in the British Council Debates or the Public-Speaking Awards this year. Members expressed concern over this and Mr Carey wrote to the respective authorities for clarification. The council was unable to hold the debates this year but will invite us in 1996.

DEBATING SOCIETY ...... • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ••• With capable and talented members and a supportive teacher, the TLDDS has enjoyed a very interesting and challenging second year in St Andrew's. 1995 was a very successful one as the Tamil Debating Team emerged runner up in the National Inter-School Debate '95. The team which was made up of strong and determined students and a very supportive teacher Mrs V.George went into the finals after winning six rounds in which forty schools took part. In fact, Mrs V.George was such a great motivator that without her, the team would not have made it to the finals. Although the Saints lost narrowly in the final, it was a great achievement for a society which had the scent of Tamil only for a year. The Secondary Threes and Fours attended two seminars on Career Options in S.I.A. in February and Information Technology in July. These seminars improved the pupils' knowledge and are now better informed about career options. One of our members. Thunaiarasan from Sec. One, took part in two Composition Writing Competitions, clinching the second prize at both the National Level and Ordinary Level. The Tamil LOOS also sent its lower secondary members to the Drama Centre to watch a play. Our boys performed an entertaining dance item for the Teachers' Day Celebrations. Singing, drama and speech contests at class level were organised. Members were also sent to schools to participate in a variety of contests aimed at giving confidence to the boys when they represent the school at national level competitions. A day's outing to Sentosa. organised on 12th August for the Sec Twos and Threes, turned out to be hours of fun. All these would not have been possible if not for the Lord's blessings showered upon us and we would like to thank the Principal. all teachers and fellow students for their support and contribution.

As usual, our many members had participated in several Chinese competitions like the Chinese Cross-talk competition organ­ ized by The Singapore Press Holding. But proudest of all is when one of our members, Chan Wai Kheong from 4SE came in second for the nation wide Chinese Festival Card Making Competition held by Jurong Junior College during the beginning of this year. His card turned out to be the best in the whole of Singapore as there wasn't any first prize winner in this competition.

To continue to promote the usage of the Chinese language, both the Chinese singing and essay writing competition were held again for the school. The number of participants had increased from last year. The society also made the effort of putting up interesting Chinese articles every week on the Chinese Language Notice Board for the pleasant reading of everyone in the school.

1995 has been a dynamic and successful year for the society. Under the leadership of a very talented and capable committee and the invaluable guidance of our two teachers-in-charge, Cikgu Amirnoordin and Cikgu Ahmad Said, our society has been able to accomplish many successes.

Members of the society attended a workshop on Planning Skills in February and a Forum on Sec Education in April, both organised by the Malay Youth Literary Association. During the work­ shops, we gained valuable tips on how to plan our time wisely in order to obtain a balanced time­ table of work and play. The forum provided us with accurate information on human sexuality and the Islamic perspective of human relationships in the context of today's cosmopolitan world. In April, two of our members competed in a Malay Poetry Recitation Competition. They were Henry Adi Sumarto of Sec 1 C and Mohamed Isham of Sec 3SA. Other members rallied behind them in their preparations. Lim Mengjin accompanied the contestants on his guitar. Henry qualified for the finals where he won a consolation prize. This was a good achievement as no one had any experience in poetry recitation and we depended solely on the guidance of Cikgu Amirnoordin.

This year. we also organised, for the first time in St. Andrew's, the Sepak Takraw Competition. Competitors included society members and several non-members. The finals for the Lower and Upper Secondary boys were held on the eve of National Day. The matches were entertaining and drew a considerable crowd. We thank Mr Mahmud Zainal and Mr Au Yeong Pak Lam for their assistance. We plan to hold this competition annually as part of our aim to preserve our cultural heritage. The society also emerged champion in the school's Inter-Club Soccer Competition.

Finally, I hope that members and teachers would continue to give their fullest support to the society to enable it to grow from strength to strength.

The various activities organized by the Maths Society include weekly enrichment lessons con­ ducted by Mr Lim or the committee members. These lessons last for about one hour. They are organized specially for Secondary One to Secondary Three students so as to train them to solve mathematical problems by using thinking skills that are imparted to them instead of working like machines in their quest to conquer Maths. The greatest achievement of the Maths Society by far is the organization and planning of the Inter­ School Primary Maths Competition, which was held on 15th April 1995. It was a big event with as many as 1 24 participants from 42 various primary schools vying for the trophy. Preparations for this event started as early as March and all the committee members were involved in the marking of the multiple choice questions under the strict supervision of the teachers. To enable fellow Saints to benefit from what the Maths Society could offer them, a Maths camp was organized from 30th May to 1st June. The camp programme included games which involved enrichment lessons, computer-based lessons, treasure hunts and puzzles. A talk was also given by Dr Chua, a lecturer from the NUS. Another event was the Australian Maths Competition in which the school did very well the previ­ ous year. Scoring distinctions were 5 boys and 43. 7% obtained certificates of merit out of 71 participants.

The Science Society has an enrolment of 600 members from Sec. One to Sec. Four.

The year started with a 'getting-to-know-you· gathering when members enjoyed an afternoon of fun and games. Meetings are held fortnightly and activities both in school and out-of-school are organised. In school, enrichment activities like viewing films. listening to talks and laboratory experiments are carried out. The members particularly enjoy out-of-school activities like the visit to the Science Centre. viewing Omnimax Movies and the visits to the Botanic Gardens and Hydro­ ponic farm. These have proved specially interesting and beneficial to the students.

It is hoped that members will continue to benefit from the enriching learning experiences. We place on record our gratitude to the Vice-Chairman. Michael, for his keen interest and initiative in organising the society's activities. We also thank our teacher-in-charge, Mrs Frederick Susie. for her guidance.

The Senior Section of the Company stands at a strength of73 Boys, 6 SNCOs and 7 Officers this year. We kicked off the year with a non-traditional start, with 8 of our CPLs and SGTs participating as Orientation Camp Leaders to the Sec One cohort. They not only showed their distinctive BB mettle, but also emerged from the Camp as better leaders. This year, we intend to select from our present batch of Sec 2s and 3s to be part of this unique Saints' experience. Our Recruitment Exhibition once again was of a very high standard, but what is more important is, the amazing retention rate of our recruits. The 15 Recruits were enrolled into the Company in April at the Church of the Ascension . The key is that the BB Programme caters extensively for Boys' instincts for variety and adventure, yet also focused enough to lead each Boy into maturity. Our annual Leadership Training Camps 1 & 2 were held in the March vacation, primarily to develop and hone our leaders' abilities through our modular approach to leadership training. The ultimate challenge was for the Boys to undergo the 20 kilometre hike, beginning from Punggol Point to School, via Paya Lebar Road and Eunos. All of them were in high spirits as they returned to School 14 hours after the exercise commenced. As part of our Adventure emphasis, we conducted Operation Endurance for 26 eager beavers on August 8th - 9th. The Boys signed up for a time of adventure and fun as they cycled through the BB Terrain Cycling Trail, aka Cytrak, in pouring rain, followed up by Canoeing off Sembawang Point on the 9th. Plans are afoot to conduct an extended Canoeing Camp and an Adventure Weekend after the exams in November. Our Pre-University and Polytechnic SNCOs are also signing up for Instructor-level courses eg. People's Association Car.10eing Instructors' Course and the SAFRA Rock-climbing course, to assure training standards are kept up to date and at the fore­ front of excellence. The Company has continued to perform well in Brigade Competitions, with our Drill Team being the only Company to be placed on the Bronze Honour Roll in this year's National Drill Competition, attaining an overall 7th position. This was not easily gained without great effort, as the Team put in an average of 6 hours per day in the first 2 weeks of June, practising under the hot sun. Their ability was also clearly seen, as they put their best foot forward in our 135th Founder's Day Parade as Guard-of-Honour. All the above achievements would count as nothing, if they were not made possible by the Grace of God. Time and again, He has seen us through each event and activity, and each time, He has shown us that in all things we need to put Him first. At the end of every year, we make it a point to camp overseas for our Bible Camp. While in 1994, we camped in Cameron Highlands, this year, we will be having our camp on the Star Aquarius in December. This promises to be a camp in which Lives will be transformed. In closing, the Officers wish to thank Rev Tan Piah, Mr Joseph Chean and Mr Andy Wee for their guidance and help with our Programme. As we move towards our Diamond Jubilee in 1997 and the future, the BB will continue to be "First for Boys". To God be the Glory ! 154 r THE BB IS ADVENTURE ! ! ! T

The band has taken part in the Singapore Youth Festival Concert Band Competition which pro­ vided the most compelling incentive for achieving excellence and was again awarded a Gold. To showcase their music skills and experiences, a public concert entitled, 'A Musical Night' was held on 8 August 1995 at the Victoria Concert Hall. A lot of effort had been put in by our members and a one-week camp was organised in June to prepare for these two major events.

Frequent performances on various occasions have given the bandsmen the much needed expo­ sure. These included performances at the opening ceremony of the Singapore Malaysia Games organised by the Ministry of Health, Band Directors' Convention held in Singapore, Berita Harian Treasure Hunt organised by the Singapore Press Holdings in the World Trade Centre Amphithea­ tre. We were also the Guest band for St. Andrew's Junior College Band Concert. In December this year, the band will embark on a Musical Tour to Sarawak.

Involvement in the entire spectrum of school activities, namely National Day and Founders' Day Celebrations and Old Boys' Association Dinner is part of the duties of the band.

The primacy of group interest over self, the pursuit of a shared goal, the need for perseverance, good time-management to achieve academic excellence as well, were lessons for living learned by our bandsmen.

Early this year, the Southbank Parkland Marching Band and Corpus Christi College from the down under paid the school a goodwill visit. Together with Corpus Christi College and St. Patrick's School Military Band, the bands held a joint concert for the school, the residents of Potong Pasir and band members of other schools in the school hall. This one-day event did much to imprint an indelible image of a good Secondary Education and organisation of a Secondary School in the foreign counterparts.

Today, the band comprises 60 performing members. This year, the band attracted many enthu­ siastic Secondary Ones with only 38 of them were selected after our recruitment exercise in Term One. They then underwent a training programme under the guidance of our bandmaster, during the term one holidays.

With the strong support from the school, parents of the bandsmen and guidance from our Father in Heaven, the band will surely go "UP AND ON".

Saints NPCC participated in many activities organised by the NPCC HQ and the Area 1 5 schools. It won the Bronze medal in the Unit Overall Proficiency Award and represented the School at the NPCC Day Parade held at the Police Academy. The Unit's Soccer team also won the Area 15 Inter-Unit Soccer Competition.

There were times when the Officers and cadets went beyond the normal Saturday routine and had fun together under the sun . Hikes were organised and held around the neighbourhood as well as at Pulau Ubin. Our cadets also participated in Camps organised by the School and the NPCC HQ. The School organised the NCO modular course for selected Sec 3 NCOs from Area 15. The Sec Ones had their first experience of camping during their 2 days' stay in School. The Sec Threes also attended the Adventure Training course in Pulau Ubin which was organised by HQ NPCC.

This year, the Best Unit Cadet was awarded to S/Sgt Tan Sze Lin in recognition of his outstand­ ing contributions to the Unit. The Saints NPCC is grateful to all its Officers, Cadet Inspectors, extended NCOs, NCOs and cadets for their devotion and commitment to the Corps and for making 1 995 a truly memorable and enjoyable year for everyone in the Unit.

St. Andrew's National Cadet Corps (NCC Land/Air] had once again lived up to its expecta­ tions of carrying out its purpose of helping cadets discover their talents and leadership ability through both challenging and enriching courses. This will instill in them the discipline which will prepare them well for their National Service and thus, be able to serve the country and society well in future.

This year, our unit took another promising step into our 77th year by starting off a success­ ful recruitment campaign. More than fifty enthusiastic Sec 1 students were recruited for both Air and Land elements. The Sec 1 cadets have now successfully passed their Basic Military Training and have adjusted to the weekly rigours of training.

The annual training camp for the Part A cadets (Sec 1) was held at 3SIR reclaimed land during the June holidays. Individual Field Craft (IFCJ, building of tents and field cooking were taught during the camp. The Part B cadets have done our unit proud by taking part in the annual Orienteering Competition which was held in Pulau Tekong this August.

For the Part C cadets, they attended the 1st Specialist Course held in Maju Camp this year. Nine cadets who were enrolled for this course went through a gruelling one week where they were taught leadership skills and went through intensive revision on lessons learnt in the past two years. Their efforts were finally rewarded by passing out as 2nd Sergeants and earning the prestigious Army-NCC Badge.

This year's NCC Day Parade was held in Khatib Camp. Nine cadets were chosen to take part in the Mass Display item. Our unit will also be sending one Part C cadet to Mt. Ophir this year for the annual expedition. Both Sec 1 and Sec 2 cadets will also be sent to courses such as Energy Conservation, SANA and Basic Civil Defence course. These courses are both enriching and exciting and our cadets are sure to gain from such courses.

Activities conducted by both HQ NCC and the school have allowed our cadets to prove themselves and be acknowledged as possible leaders in the future.

In closing , all cadets would like to thank our officers and NCOs who lead our unit up and on. Let us continue to do our unit proud by following the spirit long ingrained in us by all our officers and former NCOs. Once again , thank you.

The beginning of the year saw the absence of 8 scouts who, together with two adult leaders, were in Perth, Western Australia, as members of the Singapore Contingent in the 15th Asia­ Pacific/17th Australian Jamboree. Needless to say, all of them achieved their Jamboree awards and have no doubt done Singapore proud.

February heralded the approach of the Scouts' Founder's Day which was duly celebrated with Guides from Anglican High by doing community service at two Old Folks' Homes.

A Group cum Recruit Training Camp was held in March and another Group Camp in June. Both had succeeded in relieving the Scouts from the pressures of life in urbanised Singapore for a few days (and provided immense fun in the process].

The usually serene nights in the Junior School were disrupted on the 29th of July with fun when the Group held its Annual Campfire. Representatives from 8 schools, leaders and Cadet Scouts graced the occasion with their presence.

In Scouting circles, the Group did particularly well in churning out 26 Scout Standard and 7 Advanced Scout Standard holders. With this kind of performance, it is only apt to say that the standard of the Troop can only go UP and ON .

In closing, I would like to thank all those, past and present, who have made the Troop into what it is today and it will be in the future. This thank-you goes out especially to the late Raymond Ong, who, during his service with the Group, produced a record of 10 President Scout Award Winners in one year. The Group has indeed lost a great man but more importantly, a great friend. From all of us, we will continue working towards a good present and a better tomorrow based on a solid past.

This year, our division steps into its 40th year in St Andrew's Secondary School. Many changes had taken place. Our division provides Adult First Aid courses for members 16 years and above. This year, our Secondary three members had also quccessfully passed their Adult First Aid Test together with St Andrew's Star Scout Group. Our new recruits have also passed out as privates.

Leadership and discipline qualities were upgraded when recruits participated in the St John's Annual Training Camp held during the March holidays. Last year, we held a SANA course to­ gether with Choa Chu Kang Secondary School and a Civil Defence Course will also be held during September. This year, we will be sending Lower Secondary members to participate in the Junior First Aid Competition and Upper Secondary boys to take part in the Cadet First Aid Competition.

Lastly, St Andrew's Ambulance Cadet/Adult Division aims to contribute more for 'Service of Mankind' - Fro Utilitate Hominium.
