30 August 2018: Teachers' Day Concert

The Teachers' Day Concert this year had been a memorable experience for both the teachers and students. The 18th Student Council presented a refreshing in-house musical that featured performances by our very own talented student councillors. From singing, acting, dancing to emceeing, there were many segments in the musical which captivated and resonated with the audience. Teachers were also invited up on stage to play exciting gamers like "What's in the box" during certain segments of the Musical.

The musical themed 'From Student to Teacher' received positive feedback from both students and teachers. Teachers were able to relate to the plot which entailed the life progression of Coco, a student who was bullied by her peers in her school days. After a series of encounters and interactions with the caring teachers in her school, Coco emerged more resilient and went against all odds to pursue her dream to be a teacher. Many students have also given rave comments about the musical as they mentioned that the play had reminded them of the importance of resilience in life and during times of setback.

A musical that tied in both values and fun was certainly a valuable production of the 18th Student Council. The Student Council will continue to unleash critical and creative thinking in planning the next school event and to bring in more exciting programmes for the student population!

11 August 2018: Blood Donation Drive, Bloodbank@Westgate

Our Student Ambassadors organised a blood donation drive for the fourth consecutive year on 11 August 2018. Our event was supported by Singapore Red Cross Society and was intentionally held over the long National Day weekend, where Bloodbank@Westgate needed more assistance in advocating for blood donation in order to maintain a stable supply of blood.

The event was carried out across two sessions for students to pick up knowledge and thereafter, engage the public. Mr Julian from the Red Cross Society provided more in-depth details about blood donation process and the importance of this cause. Our ambassadors got an opportunity to role-play on how they would engage the public. In addition, they also created flyers for the drive during the session.

During the event, our students were divided into three different shifts. Some of our students sportingly put on the mascot which helped to attract a crowd. Whilst some students took time to warm up and were quite shy to approach the public initially, they managed to muster up courage and were able to carry out their advocacy work dutifully.

21 May 2018: Operation Float My Boat (Post-Exam Activity)

On 21 May 2018, our Secondary 1 students extended their classroom learning about density and learnt the basics of buoyancy. Students were required to construct a boat each, using a fixed number of ice cream sticks. The students exceeded our expectations by using creativity and critical thinking to modify their creations, utilising other optional items. The highlight of the activity was when the students had to “float their boat” with as many standard masses as possible! Although the team whose boat withstood the greatest load emerged the winner, all teams enjoyed themselves tremendously!

Many students and teachers would agree that this year’s Open Mic Finals was certainly one of the best shows in JWSS!

In the Open Mic 2018, we exposed our students to Augmented Reality where the students could scan some photos to know more about the finalists.

12 February 2018: Total Defence Day (TDD) Commemoration

JWSS commemorated Total Defence Day (TDD) on 12 February 2018 with meaningful CCE lessons that focused on ordinary Singapores who have extraordinarily made a difference in Singapore’s Total Defence. Lower Secondary students had the opportunity to try their hands at posters designing while our Upper Secondary students took part in the Freeze Frame Challenge to explain how we could better guard ourselves and strengthen social resilience against cyber attacks and disinformation.

With the onset of a wider range of multi-faceted challenges and threats, we play a crucial role in reiterating the importance to step up and play our individual roles to strengthen unity. This ensures that conflicts such as fabricated news on racial tension, national service and new citizens will not escalate into violent riots or a general air of distrust clouding Singapore, making her susceptible to foreign attacks.

3 to 5 January 2018 - Sec 1 Orientation Camp

JWSS Student Leaders leading the Secondary One students through a series of team-bonding cheers

The Secondary One Orientation Camp was held in school from 3 to 5 Jan 2018, planned and led by JWSS very own Student Leaders. The orientation theme this year revolves around the theme of “JW Jewels” to encourage all students to find and ignite the sparks of Learning with Passion, Thinking driven by Innovation and Leading inspired by Service.

The Secondary One students went through bonding activities such as class performances, tele-matches, JWSS Signature Mass Dance session and Campfire Night which aimed to increase camaraderie among the class as well as to familiarise the Sec 1s with the school’s culture and history. The camp ended on a high spirit with an award ceremony recognising participative campers as well as classes that demonstrated the school values throughout the 3-Days-2-Nights camp.

3 February 2018: Secondary One Parents' Welcome Tea Party, by the Parent Support Group

It was definitely an honour for JWSS to be able to host almost 50 secondary 1 parents for the Welcome Tea Party on 3 February 2018.

Mdm Gena Chen, Chairman of the PSG, opened the morning’s proceedings emphasizing that it is the role of the PSG to support the school as partners. She mentioned the importance for parents to trust the school and respect the teachers, as they carry out what they have been tasked and trained to do. Strengthening the relationship with the school is vital so that present and future cohorts of students can benefit from the PSG’s efforts.

Mr Michael Muhunthan then commenced his session with an address to the parents highlighting the school’s directions and programmes and shared with parents about the exciting and holistic education their children will be experiencing in JWSS. Two-way communication between school and parents is important as the parents need information about what and how their child is learning, and the teacher needs important feedback from the parent about the child’s academic and social development.This memorable meeting between and school and Secondary One parents ended with a traditional Lo-Hei session to mark the beginning of a strong partnership between parents and the school.
