Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
My heartiest congratulations to all our sports boys and teachers who have been working hard to prepare for the National School Games (NSG). Win or lose, I'm glad to observe that the teams are experiencing and learning more important lessons beyond winning or losing about having a growth mindset, a winning mindset, perseverance and teamwork. I want to encourage all CCA teachers to take the effort and time at the end of each CCA session to facilitate reflections among the boys on what they have felt emotionally, observed about themselves and their friends, and what opportunities there are to do better, and in so doing set in a habit to think about their learning.
On a separate note, I heard a casual remark by a colleague that some staff are quite unfriendly, perhaps it was early in the morning and we might not have been as alert to acknowledge others. For us as Lasallian educators, having a sense of community as educators, young or old, is vital and I hope we all realise that we do have an effect on each other. Let's continue to bring joy to others and if you see that someone does not have a smile, give them yours.
“Your face should be happy, showing gentleness and respect.”
~ St John Baptist de La Salle
To all our Muslim colleagues, I also want to wish you a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Keep Believing and Serving,
Timothy Goh

O God, who by the Resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, granted joy to the world, grant, we beseech you, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may enjoy the happiness of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
