Once again for VOR Challenge 2021, our pupils submitted their artistic expressions through a virtual platform. This platform showcases pupils’ talents, passions and knowledge within the virtual space. Kudos to all the pupils who have submitted their fantastic videos! We are so thrilled to be able to witness your many talents! Here are compilation videos of our P1 - P6 children's submissions. As these were screened during our National Day Celebrations, we faced time constraints and could not feature all performances in full. Nevertheless - we encourage all children to continue exploring their talents. See all of you again next year.

This year, due to the current Covid-19 situation, our pupils were unable to hold the ‘Voices of Rulangnites’ in its usual manner. Instead, they got to submit their artistic expressions through an alternative, virtual platform. This platform showcases pupils’ talents, passions and knowledge within the virtual space. Well done to all the pupils who have submitted their videos! We are so thrilled to be able to witness your many talents! Here are compilation videos of our children's submissions. As these were screened during our National Day Celebrations, we faced time constraints and could not feature all performances in full. Nevertheless - we encourage all children to continue exploring their talents.

Well done, Ka Yeung!

Mum and I took a bus to my coding class which was at Bukit Timah. When we got on the bus, there were a few passengers.  I saw a window seat on the right side, so I took it. Mum sat down next to me. I saw more and more people get on the bus. Soon, an old couple got onboard. The Grandpa was using a crutch. Once we see them, we gave them our seats. They smiled and said, "Thank you.” I was elated to have helped them.

   Respect is a value,

   Every Rulangnite must reflect.

   Respect yourself, by being morally upright.

   Respect our friends, by lending a helping hand.

   When we respect others, everything will turn out right.

   Respect our teachers, by listening attentively with eagerness.

   Respect our cleaners, by keeping our school spick and span.

        Respect our elders, by giving them honor.

        When we do not respect others, we cannot expect others to respect us.

   Let’s show respect, to make Rulang more perfect.

The school bell rang for lunch. Brooklyn was on duty to clean up the classroom with Lily. They picked up the brooms and started sweeping. “Argh! I hate sweeping!” Brooklyn lamented. She quietly put the broom back and tip-toed to the back door to leave. But she realised that ditching her friend to clean the classroom all by herself was a wrong thing to do. It would take Lily a long time to sweep the entire classroom herself. Brooklyn resisted the urge to leave and continued to help her friend.

Dear Ally,

I know that you rarely submit your homework on time, so I have drawn a timetable for you. Please fill in the blanks yourself. You must submit your work promptly. It is also unfair that the teachers’ work is always delayed because of your late submissions. I hope you will understand your teachers and help them. Please, understand. Thank you on behalf of all our teachers.

Best regards,

Sally

In 1930, it started with 34 students at a shophouse. Enrolment turned 90 but the war left it in ruins. People rallied to rebuild it. Within months, it transformed. Many features were added to enhance the educational experience of the 831 students. Computer lab, AVA Room - the list went on. 1993 came and the first female principal was sworn in. 27 years later, in 2020, Miss Tracy Tan is appointed as Head of School. You may ask, what is it? It is Rulang Primary School.

“How did you become famous?” People would ask Louise. He would smile and simply reply, “Being passionate at what I do.”

       Back in Alaska was where Louise took some of his most iconic photographs. However, they came at a price. He would wait for days just to spot an animal, often neglecting the rumbles in his stomach just so that he would not miss that perfect shot. To him, nothing mattered more than his photographs, which, at the same time taught him the importance of adaptability and self-discipline.
