It is that time of the year again, when the Secondary 4 Executive Committee members pass on the baton to their Secondary 3 counterparts. The Investiture would inaugurate the appointment of a new line of leaders, and also the official stepping down of old leaders. This is the only time all students are seated according to CCA in the Grand Auditorium.

The Media Club is back on duty again on 1st of March!
The event started at 8.00 am, and ended at 1.00 pm. A week after the Chinese New Year celebrations, the school hosted the annual alumni reunion in the School Hall. Our Media Club alumni Chon Wey was MC for the event with other fellow alumnis of Chung Cheng Main. Another Media Club alumni also came by and visited us, Zheng Wei. These two graduated seniors took their O'Levels in 2012, and took their A'Levels last year. Their results were meant to be released the day after this event, so good luck, guys! The highlight of this event, for me and pretty much everybody, was the karaoke session. We connected a TV from the stage to the projector so that the duo singers could read off the lyrics from the small TV screen and the audience could see it at the back. This event is actually Darren's first, and Matthias' second. Praise for Darren for being really proactive and helpful! Mrs Tan Theng May had been our VP for as long as I could remember, and she was always nice. The MOE had chosen her to be part of a leadership course that may or may not place her in a different school in the end. Considering how much she cried at her farewell ceremony, I would think she wants to be back at Chung Cheng again. It really is a waste, since she started teaching chemistry this year and she is really good at it, and even set the chemistry common test paper last week. It is sad that with her departure, our trio of vice-principals would be reduced to only two, and we would lose the wonderful teacher, Mrs Tan.
On behalf of the Media Club, we would like to thank Mrs Tan for her role in Chung Cheng High School (Main), and wish her all the best for the future! The ceremony was a 1-hour long event with one photographer, Jian Wei. It took place in the Grand Auditorium, during the morning assembly of Friday, the last day of Common Test week. The Media Club would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to the girls basketball team, for making it so far and bringing pride and victory to our school yesterday at Anglican High School to get 3rd place in the East Zone B-Division Girls Basketball. They won 36-39 against Dunman High School in an amazing teamplay yesterday! Despite the number of fouls which gave the opposing team a total of nine free-throws, our team still managed to win by a 3-point margin. The last quarter was electrified with tension and excitement as we witness the fast-paced game. In the last few seconds, Dunman High tried a goal shot, of which if the ball went in would tie the two schools, but failed to score, and victory went to our girls team!
Refer to this news article: here The AVA is the backbone of events. Without us, events will break down. Now, this is a famous quote, repeated so frequently throughout the two generations of leaders I have seen, and that I myself have repeated, that I no longer know who started it. It could have been former Chairperson Toh Hong Chew (year 2011-2012) who said it, but then again I was but a toddler when he ruled the AVA Club so I wouldn't know.
2015 Chinese New Year was very weird, in my opinion. It is very out of place, in the years we have celebrated Chinese New Year (CNY). Previously, Cross Country was a wholly separate event from CNY, and for some mysterious reason out of my grasp, the two became Cross Country X Chinese New Year. Normally, for celebrations of the latter, we would have 2 or 3 hours of performances, videos and such, after an hour or two of hamper wrapping, tossing the yusheng and similar festive activities. Cross Country, on the other hand, would be held in the East Coast Park with a scenic route and far more spacious running paths than the Geylang River In 2013, Bong led the Infocomm Club to create a CNY video in a very small time frame with videos and pictures taken less than an hour before. We had planned an exactly the same stint, but filming the Cross Country instead. Sadly, the school decided to cancel this last minute and we had some urgent rearrangement of duties, but all in all it turned out really well! |
