Nexus at the Gardens, was a spectacular evening of music held at the iconic Singapore Botanic Gardens. Despite the rain, thunder and lightning, our dedicated musicians powered on, delivering an inspiring showcase of talent performing an array of popular classics.

The evening opened with a show-stopping performance by the Secondary Choir and Jazz/Pop Ensemble, who brought the crowd to life with an energetic medley of Michael Jackson’s Beat It and Blame It on the Boogie.

To close the night on a high, the choirs from Years 3 to 13 joined forces with the Secondary Orchestra for a rousing ABBA medley. The audience was invited to stand, sing along, and celebrate in true Nexus spirit as we thanked “Nexus for the Music.” (even though this was under umberellas!)

So many of our Nexus staff, parents, and families came along to show their support, relaxing on the grass with drinks and picnics as they enjoyed the performances. Many were there early to collect their special addition 'Nexus picnic blankets'. The event was a true celebration of community and relationships—bringing people together through music, nature, and shared moments under the stars.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible Music Team, AV Team, Marketing, Facilities, and the NCG for helping bring the entire evening to life. Your hard work and collaboration made this magical night possible.

Our Senior and Middle School MUN learners have worked tirelessly this year to develop their skills of diplomacy and public speaking at our weekly club as well as at a number of prestigious conferences here in Singapore. This club is a must for anyone in secondary with an interest in environmental, political, social and economical issues. 

In February, our Middle School delegates attended the MY-MUNOFS conference at the Overseas Family School. They represented Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Tunisia and New Zealand as they debated global issues such as addressing the effects of media censorship on freedom of expression and access to information, measures to mitigate the impact of the predicted African population explosion and ensuring the sustainable, fair and equitable use of the River Nile by Basin countries.  The conference proved to be a great success and the learners came away feeling more confident about MUN procedures and their respective debate skills. 

UWC-Dover hosted us for the final conference of the year with the theme of the event centred around Diplomacy, Dialogue and Development. A collaborative attitude and understanding of cultural diversity paved the way for a productive exchange of ideas, which ultimately resulted in a series of successful resolutions. 

Well done to everyone involved this year - we are already looking forward to more MUN conferences in the next academic year.
