Message To Parents
Dear Parents,
As we begin Term 2, many students are preparing for their weighted assessments, which can understandably increase pressure at home and school. While doing well matters, equally important are confidence, emotional resilience, and a balanced approach to learning. Teachers, parents and peers all play a part in supporting each child—through encouragement, helping them establish healthy study routines, and normalising setbacks as opportunities to grow. Simple actions like regular check-ins, creating calm study spaces, and emphasising rest and wellbeing make a big difference. Together, we can help our students approach challenges with a positive mindset and rediscover the joy of learning!
Best,
The NYConnect Team

As Singapore’s first and only bilingual (English–Chinese) conference for secondary students, BYMUN offered delegates a platform to debate pressing global issues in both languages, strengthening bilingual proficiency while developing communication, critical thinking and global literacy. The three-day conference welcomed 21 local secondary schools—including 10 SAP and mainstream schools—and three overseas partner schools from Malaysia and Taiwan, fostering meaningful cross‑cultural dialogue and collaboration among young leaders.

On the morning of 6 March the hall was awash in soft pastels as our student leaders, smart in their school blazers, took their oaths before the school.

"On 18 October, former principal and then Board member, Mdm Liew Yuen Sien, passed away at the age of 83, due to illness. To honour her inimitable contributions to the school that had been her life, the hearse circled the school compound as students and staff stood solemnly on both sides of the driveway, at attention, to pay their last respects to a woman who had left an indelible mark on their lives. Alumni members mourned her passing and contributed sums of money to her family. Her family members donated the contributions that amounted to $9000, to the school. The Board of Directors decided to use the funds to build the ‘Yuen Sien Pavilion’ and ‘Chin Tian Pavilion’ in the school courtyard, in recognition of their contributions to the school."
