PRINCIPAL’S FOREWORD
As KCPPS enters its 101st year, we continue to soar to new heights, transforming challenges into opportunities that transcend conventional boundaries in education. Like eagles that spread their wings wider to rise above storms, we are expanding our educational horizons and elevating our aspirations for every pupil. This edition of e-VOX 2025 celebrates our KCP101 Founders’ Day theme “Arise in Grace”, drawing inspiration from Romans 5:2: “Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
Within e-VOX 2025, you will discover the remarkable journey of our pupils as they embody our desired student outcomes: Self-Directed Learner, Adaptive Thinker and Inventive Problem-Solver, Effective Communicator, Active Contributor, Active Collaborator and Builder of Positive Relationships. Building upon our centennial milestone, we continue to nurture our pupils with renewed purpose, pushing boundaries and scaling new peaks of excellence. Our commitment manifests through innovative teaching approaches, enriched learning experiences, and robust character development programmes that equip our pupils for tomorrow’s challenges. Through God’s abundant grace, our school community continues to flourish, creating meaningful impact while staying true to our core values. In today’s dynamic educational landscape, our pupils rise to meet new challenges with confidence and grace, bolstered by our dedicated
staff, engaged parents, supportive alumni, school management committee, and community partners.
The narratives and achievements captured in this publication represent more than individual successes –they embody the collective spirit of a school community that soars higher while remaining firmly rooted in faith and tradition. As we forge ahead, our commitment remains steadfast: nurturing every pupil’s potential, fostering educational innovation, and building upon our legacy of excellence in both academic and character development.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the editorial team for their meticulous curation of these inspiring stories. I hope you, our readers and supporters, find the contents of the e-VOX as inspiring as I do! To conclude, I am honoured to share my personal reflection in the form of a poem, crafted through prayer and contemplation, using the acronym “ARISE IN GRACE, AFLAME FOR TRUTH”. Presented during this year’s Founders’ Day celebrations, it encapsulates our theme, our school motto, our biblical foundation, our cherished traditions, and our unwavering pursuit of excellence. May it kindle feelings of nostalgia, exaltation, and enthusiasm in your hearts.
To God Be the Glory!
Mrs Yee-Toh Gek Khiaw Principal
Answering our founders’ call, their vision we see
Rising through 101 years of humble roots and rich legacy
In faith and love we gather, united we shall be
Strength through each challenge, as we navigate the 21st century
Enduring for good, rejoicing in hope – To God be the glory
Inspiring new chapters, with boundless energy
Nurturing confident and resilient minds, beyond SG60
Grace found in actions, compassion as our key
Respect and love guide our path to build a better society
Aspiring to lift, we draw strength as a shining KCP
Caring hearts and inspiring minds we grow in harmony
Every kind act a reflection of the best in you and me
Aflame for truth and wisdom, our hearts smile with glee
Forging bonds of friendship across land and sea
Learning from the past with hearts of jubilee
Appreciating tradition, innovating in every journey
Mindful reflection, loving and serving humbly
Encouraging stillness, in God’s majesty
Faithful to our calling, our spirits soar with esprit
Opening hearts and engaging minds to the grace that will be
Reaching out to each other responsibly and thoughtfully
Towards the horizon, God’s vision we decree
Respecting our history, living life with purpose and integrity
Understanding today, what we have yet to see
Transforming our future, strong, vibrant and free
Holding fast to God’s mercy, may we steadfast be
Our school designs lessons and learning experiences to develop well-rounded pupils who demonstrate the 21 st Century Competencies (21CC). In this e-publication, our pupils’ rich learning experiences and achievements illustrate how our pupils embody our school’s six desired student outcomes: Self-Directed Learner, Adaptive Thinker and Inventive Problem-Solver, Effective Communicator, Active Contributor, Active Collaborator and Builder of Positive Relationships.
Effective Communicator
An Effective Communicator shares ideas clearly through multimodal communication with empathy and inspires others to contribute.
APPLIED LEARNING PROGRAMME (ALP)
The ALP aims to develop confident and articulate communicators who actively contribute to their community by providing pupils with platforms to discuss current and environmental issues.
Primary 1 pupils explored inclusivity through choral poetry recitations. Primary 2 pupils researched food wastage and tried composting. They performed during P2 EL Showtime to an audience comprising their parents and Primary 1 pupils to advocate food sustainability. Primary 3 pupils modified original fairy tale characters and settings, and wrote creative fractured fairy tales. Primary 4 pupils examined technological advancement and its consequences, and performed scripts that encourage meaningful technology use. Primary 5 pupils researched Singapore’s green efforts in response to climate change and collaborated on presentations and videos to raise awareness among their schoolmates.
Through the ALP, pupils had greater awareness of contemporary issues whilst developing 21 st Century Competencies.
I love performing. My parents watched me perform. I was happy.
Florian Fogoly, 2 Grace
I liked the videos of the fractured fairy tales in the SLS package. I enjoyed reading our script for “Rapunzel’s Climate Crisis”.
Joan Riviere Lavie Jie, 3 Faith
I liked reading the poem with my friends. We are different and I care for them.
Ayyub Bin Juma’at, 1 Diligence
I took on the role as one of the scammers and I enjoyed the entire acting process. The experience was memorable. I hope to have more opportunities to be involved in acting.
Lee Ruo Xin, 4 Brilliance
The process of ALP was interesting. From our research to video creation, this experience allowed me to find out more about going green, especially in the area of transportation. From this experience, I have also learnt how to be environmentally friendly and how to work as a team during the creation process.

INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE DRAMA COMPETITION
International Science Drama Competition is an annual event which aims to promote science through drama. To celebrate 100 years of quantum physics, the theme for 2025 is “Energy Matters!”, commemorating 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. It aims to spotlight the collaboration between different countries as they continue to exchange ideas and solutions to promote sustainability.
Our pupils have shown that success is never by chance, but through consistent effort and diligence. With unwavering commitment, they gave their very best, earning the First Prize in the International Science Drama Competition (Singapore Finals) and the Third Prize in the International Science Drama Competition (Grand Finals). Chia Li Yen of 6 Diligence was presented the Outstanding Performer Award in the Junior Category. Their journey is a testament to our school values – Amazing Love in supporting one another, Resilience in overcoming challenges, Integrity in their conduct, Self-Discipline in preparation, and Excellence in performance. Our pupils have, in this journey, grown remarkably, developing maturity, teamwork, and confidence as they persevered towards the finals. Their achievements stand as a powerful reminder that hard work, strong values, and unity will path the way to great success.
It has been an honour to have participated in the International Science Drama Competition for four years. Through these experiences, I have grown both as a person and an actress; learning values such as teamwork, resilience, and self-discipline. This year’s journey was especially meaningful and winning first place in the Singapore Finals was deeply unforgettable as we then qualified for the Grand Finals, held in Singapore. Though it was not our first time reaching this stage, competing against international performers on home ground was both exciting and nerve-racking. The whole journey has been an eye-opening and inspiring experience, especially as it is my final year representing my school. Quoting one of the lines from our play: “All our hard work has really paid off.”
Vania Ang En Qi, 6 Diligence
When I was first selected for the International Science Drama Competition audition, I was unsure of what was in store. The rehearsals were tiring at first but soon, I could see myself improving as an actor. When we made it to the Singapore Finals, I was delighted but nervous as it was my first time performing on the national stage. I was proud that our team had won the first place and qualified for the Grand Finals. Getting a chance to be a part of the whole experience has helped me develop my confidence, resilience and self-discipline.

SYF ART EXHIBITION 2025
The Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Art Exhibition provides opportunities for pupils to showcase their artistic talents and promote art appreciation in our schools. Commemorating Singapore’s 60 th birthday in 2025, the theme for this year’s SYF Art Exhibition — “Artist and Collaboration: Tiny Wonders, Big Ideas” — pays homage to our nation’s journey. With their artworks, pupils share fresh perspectives on daily moments in Singapore and imagine what our shared future could look like.
Having gone through the brainstorming process, the lower primary team worked on portraying iconic Singapore landmarks in the style of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night. The efficient use of the yarn to complete the night sky is a testament to their tremendous resilience! Meanwhile, the middle primary team created a papermâché sculpture of children at play. They conveyed sublimely how small acts of kindness such as including children with disabilities in play foster inclusivity. These art pieces which took weeks of dedication and collaboration allowed our pupils to showcase their creativity, resourcefulness and talents. This project was not only fulfilling for the pupils but also served as a valuable lesson in empathy and social responsibility.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to take part in the SYF Art Exhibition. It allowed me to apply my art skills and knowledge, and to collaborate with my teammates to create our artwork. I truly enjoyed the process and feel grateful to graduate with such a meaningful experience.

LEARNING FOR LIFE PROGRAMME (LLP) –
LET’S THINK DESIGN!
The LLP in Visual Art and Design enables pupils to create impactful visual representations to address environmental issues using various mediums. Primary 3 pupils explore digital art with iPads and Procreate, developing creativity and technical skills. Primary 4 and 5 pupils create ceramic pots and tote bags respectively, raising biodiversity awareness. Visual Arts Club members engage in Nagomi Art, clay sculpting, sand animation, and digital comics to produce art pieces that depict school values.
Through the Values-in-Action programme, pupils collaborate with community partners such as AWWA Dementia Day Care Centre, Ren Ci Nursing Home, and TOUCH Community Services to advocate sustainability efforts. This experience hones pupils’ communication and critical thinking skills and allows them to show empathy to others.
I like the tote bag design project as it is fun and I enjoy using the posca marker to create the colour blending. I took quite a while to come up with the design but using the SCAMPER technique really helped me with the process.
Natasha Baskaran, 5 Excellence
I learnt and enjoy creating the 3D pot, I like how we can shape and paint the ceramic using a special type of paint – glaze.
Naomi Lee, 4 Brilliance
I enjoyed giving back to the community through the art session with the seniors at AWWA. At times, it was a little challenging to understand what the seniors wanted. However, it felt very rewarding when we finished the artwork.
Tan Yu Ze, Ethan, 5 Grace
I learnt to be patient when working with the artists with special needs from TOUCH Community Services. It was fun seeing how they chose colours for their artwork. I also really enjoyed making animals with Jumping Clay and I can’t wait to do more art activities!

KCPPS-STANCHART READING PROGRAMME
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, to the Singapore Navy Museum we go!
With bright smiles and bubbling excitement, the pupils from the KCPPS-StanChart Reading Programme set off on an exciting learning adventure. At the museum, they stepped into the world of the navy and discovered mighty ships, learnt about the daring missions, and met the brave sailors who guard Singapore’s seas. Every corner of the museum revealed a story that ignited curiosity and wonder in every child. The visit was not only enjoyable but also rich in valuable lessons about courage and teamwork.
KCPPS extends our heartfelt thanks to Standard Chartered Bank for sponsoring this meaningful trip and to the wonderful volunteers who continue to make reading a joyful experience for our pupils. Here’s to another amazing year of reading, learning, and growing together with hearts full of gratitude and adventure!
I enjoyed reading with the volunteers from Standard Chartered Bank because they told me jokes and I learnt to read more words. I’ve improved in my reading. Now, I read with more expressions instead of being monotonous.
Cheng Jun Yuan, 3 Brilliance
I really like the reading programme! It’s fun reading books with the aunties and uncles from Standard Chartered Bank. I’ve become a better reader because I can recognise more words now. The volunteers helped me by explaining the words and showing pictures and short video clips on Google. Muhammad Qashri Bin Muhammad Fadhil, 4 Excellence
KUO CHUAN’S GOT TALENT
Kuo Chuan’s Got Talent (KCGT) continues to be a highly anticipated show where our pupils support their peers in their showcase of talents! There are two showcases every year, the first being a live concert on 13 May and the second, an e-concert screened on 11 November. The showcases celebrate the varied interests and talents our pupils have, from captivating storytelling, to creative artworks, from enchanting music performances to dazzling dance choreographies and also dexterous sports routines!
These events recognise the diverse talents, encouraging them to pursue their passion and interests and inspiring them to strive for excellence! Well done to all our talented performers!
My heart was racing, thinking I couldn’t perform in front of so many people. I felt a sense of accomplishment after the performance.
So En Qi Melody, 6 Excellence
I felt very happy because I did well and could share the story I wrote together with my mummy. I was excited as it was my first time performing in front of about 1,400 people. Before this, I had only performed for around 100 people. It is a memory I will always remember.

Builder of Positive Relationships
A Builder of Positive Relationships appreciates the diversity around him/her, brings people together , considers others’ perspectives , and shows empathy in his/her interactions.
BACK TO SCHOOL
The new school year began with excitement as school leaders and teachers warmly welcomed pupils back for another year of learning and growth.
Pupils from Primary 1, 3 and 5 enjoyed ice-breaker games while those in the other levels took part in class bonding activities. To know one another even better, pupils wrote details they would like to share with their classmates on a potted plant template. These templates were then used to decorate their classrooms. Pupils also learnt about executive functioning skills, established classroom routines and attended talks to prepare them for the year.
I felt very excited to start the year because my previous classmates went to different classes and I would be meeting my classmates for the next two years for the first time. I also felt nervous because my parents told me that Primary 5 is going to be quite challenging. The class plant activity was meaningful and I got to know the interests and strengths of my other classmates during the activity. Many of my classmates showcased their wonderful artistic talents so we have their colourful and well-decorated pieces of work lining our noticeboards for the rest of the year.
Kayley Poh, 5 Courage
Our Back to School Programme was really fun! I liked Mrs Yee’s welcome talk because it made me feel excited to start the new school year. The ‘Think Safety, Live Safely’ briefing reminded me how to keep safe in school, and the class bonding games were awesome! Our class already knew each other from last year so it is fun to work together again. I’m really looking forward to learning new things this year!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR PRIMARY 1
We were delighted to welcome our 2025 Primary 1 cohort and their families to our school. We continued with our unique tradition of having our parents enjoy a meaningful first meal in the school canteen with their children, marking the start of an exciting journey together. Our young learners were all smiles as they participated in engaging classbased activities to get to know their new classmates. The guided tour around the school which were led by their teachers allowed them to discover and familiarise themselves with their new environment.
On the first three days of the school week, our Primary 1 pupils also enjoyed the warmth and support of our Primary 5 pupils during recess. Under the guidance of their senior schoolmates, our Primary 1 pupils adapted quickly to the routines in a primary school.
I am very thankful that I get to have recess with my mommy. I love sitting down and eating with her. Thank you for letting me do that in school.
Daniel Christian Tiang, 1 Courage
I was nervous because it was my first time taking care of someone younger than me. My buddy was very shy and did not talk too much but I still tried to interact with her. Finally, she asked me for help and I tried my best to help her. I learnt to show kindness to others. I was glad to have been given the chance to show her the whole school and get her comfortable in her new environment. Eventually, she became comfortable and started talking. I know that the Primary 1 pupils would also pay it forward and be kind to others.
Prisha D/O Gunasegaran, 5 Brilliance
INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP DAY
During International Friendship Day, pupils came dressed in colourful ethnic or traditional attire. Through an engaging skit where an alien made an appearance, they were reminded how to build strong friendships both in school and beyond, aligning to the theme “Forging Friendships in a Complex World”. To appreciate our foreign workers and friends who came and contributed to Singapore, pupils wrote appreciation notes. The classroom activities helped our pupils to learn about the different cultures and acknowledge the importance of friendship.
101ST FOUNDERS’ DAY
Coming together, the Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Schools rejoiced in celebrating our 101 st Founders’ Day celebration on 9 May. The event, hosted by KCPPS, was graced by our Guest-of-Honour, Elder Kevin Lee, Chairman of the KCP School Management Committee.
Under the theme “Arise in Grace”, we rejoiced and celebrated the achievements of our pupil and staff award recipients as a Kuo Chuan family.
Prior to the actual day celebrations, our pupils learnt more about our school’s heritage and history through varied learning activities. Indeed, it was a remarkable occasion that filled our hearts with gratitude to God for His abundant blessings throughout our schools’ journey.
Founders’ Day celebrations enable us to revisit the history of our school and recap on the contributions by our founding fathers. I enjoy completing the fringe activities with my classmates.”

CHINESE NEW YEAR
Our school celebrated Chinese New Year (CNY) with a vibrant concert featuring dance, wushu and music performances. An inter-house competition and sing-along session added to the festive atmosphere. The joyous celebration concluded with prize presentations for the CNY competition winners.
Embracing the spirit of giving, our staff prepared 12 hampers for Lions Home for the Elders. Primary 5 pupils participated in the “Share the Joy!” competition, creating hampers for Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled.
The celebrations culminated in the Primary 6 Lohei session. Pupils, teachers, school leaders, and Parent Support Group (PSG) members tossed yusheng together, filling the canteen with laughter and well-wishes. This session showcased our school’s strong community spirit.
I enjoyed the CNY celebration. I liked the wushu performance, especially the high kicks. I had fun singing along to the songs in the hall. I learnt that there is a superstition about not sweeping the floor or cleaning the house during CNY because it means you are sweeping away the good luck!
I was so happy celebrating Chinese New Year in school! I loved watching the lion dance on stage, and I was overjoyed when I received the Best Dressed award.

HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
In the three weeks leading up to Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, pupils visited the pop-up booths, provided by the National Heritage Board, to deepen their understanding of the Malay culture, traditional ethnic attire and festive delicacies.
The celebration itself was held during the assembly period on 25 March. The event featured an enlightening presentation on Hari Raya customs and traditional cuisine. Our Primary 3 and 4 Malay pupils stole our hearts when they danced to a Hari Raya tune.The highlight of the celebration was the energetic dikir barat performance by the Primary 5 and 6 pupils, teachers and school leaders. So explosive was the performance that an encore ensued with fellow pupils and staff joining in the steps from wherever they were. Truly, the unity demonstrated and the spirit of embracing one another’s differences brought much joy to everyone.
It was a fun celebration. We had a performance in the hall and there was also a booth for everyone to learn about the Malay culture. I was happy to share my culture with my peers. As I am graduating this year, I really cherish the moments spent with my friends, teachers and school leaders – the rehearsal, interactions and the actual performance.

DEEPAVALI
We celebrated Deepavali with great joy and excitement on 22 October. The celebration was filled with colour, culture, and togetherness. Our Primary 2 pupils, along with their teachers and school leaders, took part in a lively fashion parade dressed in vibrant Indian attire, showcasing their beauty and diversity of the festival.
The highlight of the event was a wonderful dance performance by our Primary 6 pupils and teachers which brought festive energy to the hall. Pupils also enjoyed participating in a fun and engaging quiz that tested their knowledge about Deepavali traditions.
Overall, it was a vibrant and fun-filled celebration that allowed everyone to appreciate the spirit of Deepavali - the triumph of light over darkness and the joy of unity in diversity.
I find the music nice and I like how energetic the dance was. The dancers were good. The whole celebration added to the festive mood. I have definitely learnt more about the festival after the celebration.

TOTAL DEFENCE DAY
Singapore turns 60 this year! To mark the 60 th year of Singapore’s independence, pupils in KCPPS commemorated Total Defence Day (TDD), International Friendship Day (IFD), Racial Harmony Day (RHD) and National Day in an extraordinary way this year.
Through a fictional story between Singapore and Planet 1942, pupils engaged in experiences that reminded us the importance of total defence, of forging international friendships, of racial harmony and of building our national identity. This story showed us a glimpse of the complex real world we live in. Each commemorative event taught us an important theme about who we are and how we can grow stronger and move forward together!
We began with Total Defence Day and the theme “Together We Keep Singapore Strong.” When aliens from Planet 1942 “attacked” the water resources in Singapore, we worked together to defend our home and even “captured” the alien, XannyRock. The highlight was the water-rationing exercise, when the taps and water coolers were turned off! It was strange and even a little tough, but we learnt to share water, wash with pails, and support one another. Through quizzes and class reflections, we understood that resilience means being ready and caring for others during challenges.
MOTHER TONGUE LANGUAGES
FORTNIGHT (MTLF) & RACIAL HARMONY DAY
This year’s MTLF was packed with fun and enriching activities designed to deepen pupils’ appreciation of their heritage, strengthen their sense of identity and foster respect and understanding for other cultures.
Pupils participated in language and traditional games, completed handicrafts and had the opportunity to try different types of traditional food items during recess. Racial Harmony Day, commemorated during the fortnight, highlighted the importance of respecting and celebrating our differences. This year’s theme, “Our People, Our Tapestry”, celebrated the many cultural threads that make up our nation, each representing our unique identities, traditions, and beliefs.
I enjoyed reciting the poem with all the Primary 1 pupils during the MTLF closing ceremony. I performed on stage with some pupils. I also liked collecting stickers on the Bingo card after taking part in the recess activities. I got to earn points for Dryburgh House.
Chia Min Hui, 1 Excellence
There were many things I liked about this year’s Mother Tongue Fortnight Celebration. We had the chance to try many traditional games. The diabolo yo-yo left the deepest impression on me.
Trying the cultural snacks at the canteen was the highlight for me. The teh tarik, a type of milk tea with froth, soothed my throat. I liked it so much that I went for a second serving. The putu piring was just as tasty. I also enjoyed the crispy kaya toast. This year’s celebration was truly enjoyable, and I am already looking forward to the next one!

NATIONAL DAY
We celebrated Singapore’s 60 th birthday with the theme “Majulah Singapura”. The celebration began with the observance ceremony and pupils sang iconic National Day songs. The performance featured “time travellers” like the samsui woman and satay seller, who reminded everyone of our pioneers’ hard work. Pupils also wrote their reflections for SG60 and their hopes for the future. Our pupils were reminded of the importance of dreaming big, playing their part as active contributors and keeping Singapore strong for generations to come.
PLAY@RECESS
Play@Recess is an ongoing school programme that offers pupils various activities including badminton, basketball and football during recess. Pupils also enjoy indoor play areas like the Student Lounge where they play board games or have project discussions. These activities encourage teamwork, cooperation, and meaningful interaction. Through play, pupils build positive relationships with friends and develop a stronger sense of belonging. Play@ Recess supports holistic development in a fun, inclusive, and supportive school environment.
I love Play@Recess because there are many games and equipment such as the balancing arc and skipping rope. I enjoy going to the Student Lounge as I get to play with my friends.
Every recess, I love to play football. My friends and I usually play matches. Sometimes, when it rains, we will play basketball. I enjoy Play@Recess because it is fun and I can spend time with my friends.

HOUSE SYSTEM
At the heart of our school’s vibrant community lies the House System. It fosters school spirit, camaraderie, and lasting friendships among pupils. Throughout the year, pupils gather in their various houses during house meetings, uniting under their house banners to cultivate school pride and belonging. More than just a tradition, the system provides a purposeful platform for pupils across levels to interact, collaborate and grow together.
Different activities like the Chinese New Year (CNY) teacher-pupil inter-house games, “Guess the School Leaders’ Calligraphy”, the Total Defence Day (TDD) Mission Card for pupils and the Biodiversity Week Trail Quiz allow pupils to earn points for their houses. The friendly competition among houses peaks during our annual KClympics.
This year, Sirkett continues to emerge victorious. Congratulations, Sirkett, for being the overall House Champion!
When I was leading Sirkett for the Cheer Competition during KCLympics, I learnt to develop my resilience and teamwork. We improvised to make the cheer better. We also motivated one another to cheer loudly. All our hard work and determination came to fruition. I hope that Sirkett will continue to give its best and work together in the future!
Jansen Pang Zhi Yang, 6 Brilliance (House Captain, Sirkett)
I felt very happy during the house meeting and learnt to have teamwork and be resilient. I learnt my house cheer and felt very proud of Richardson house when we won the best cheer award.
Rizelle Kang Min Er, 4 Excellence
Hard work pays off. We spent a lot of time practising the Dyrburgh house cheer and making props from home. Although the result was not to our expectation, we will continue to persevere to do better next year.

KCLYMPICS
KCLympics 2025, our annual sports day, was held on 30 May. It aims to holistically develop in our pupils the 21 st Century Competencies (21CC) through physical activities by fostering communication and collaboration skills to achieve common goals and foster teamwork.
The day commenced with a march-in of our House Captains, followed by the recitation of the athlete’s oath and spectator creed. Throughout the day, pupils represented their Houses as they competed in level activities.This was followed by the House Cheer competition and finally the prize presentation. They beamed with pride as they received a medal in recognition of their efforts for the day.
Through teamwork and shared experiences, pupils maintain positive relationships with their friends and develop a strong sense of school identity, making KClympics a fun and meaningful event for all. The presence and commitment of the parent volunteers in umpiring the games and manning the stations contributed to the success of KClympics!
I felt happy and what I liked most about KClympics is that everyone received a medal each. I had lots of fun playing with my friends.

Aisyah Binte Muhammad Amin, 1 Hope
I like the fact that everyone came together and worked as a team to win. During KClympics, I supported my teammates and cheered for those from other houses.

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL
The Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated with much excitement and festive cheer! To help our Primary 1 to Primary 4 pupils learn more about the rich Chinese culture and traditions and immerse themselves in the festive spirit, a variety of fun class activities were organised.
Besides participating in class activities, pupils collaborated with parents to celebrate the festival. In the Parent-Child Lantern Making Competition, families showcased their creativity when they designed and crafted beautiful lanterns using recycled materials. It was a wonderful opportunity for families to bond, express their creativity, and contribute to our school’s sustainability efforts. These colourful lanterns brightened up our school and added to the festive atmosphere! In the spirit of giving, our school organised “A Thoughtful Mid-Autumn” mooncake donation drive for the residents of Bishan Home for the Intellectually Disabled. The generous contributions from pupils and parents brought joy and festive treats to the residents. Through this drive, pupils learnt the value of kindness and compassion as they shared the warmth of the season with others.
I had a wonderful time participating in the Parent-Child Lantern Making Competition! The time spent working alongside my family was full of laughter and joy, making the whole experience truly special. I really enjoyed unleashing my creativity to design our lantern, especially by using recycled materials to give it a unique and eco-friendly touch. This activity not only brought us closer but also created beautiful memories that I’ll always cherish. Most importantly, it reminded me that the true meaning of Mid-Autumn is about spending quality time with loved ones and celebrating togetherness.
Naomi Lee Rourou, 4 Brilliance
I prepared mooncakes with my mother and brought them to school. They were then donated to the residents of Bishan Home. I was happy because we showed Amazing Love by caring for others and sharing joy during the festival. We should reach out and support members of our community. I hope more people will join us next year so we can spread warmth, kindness, and happiness together!
Teoh Ming Hui, Sean, 2 Agape
CHILDREN’S DAY
It was another day of play, treats and camaraderie as the school community came together to celebrate Children’s Day. The celebration started with a meaningful message by the principal before the pupils enjoyed their teachers’ creative performances.
The one-hour carnival during recess was the highlight of the day for our pupils. From demonstrating their skills at the various game booths manned by our Parent Support Group (PSG), to enjoying their ice cream treats and jumping on the bouncy castles sponsored by Living Praise Presbyterian Church, our pupils surely had much to be thankful for that day.
The performances by the teachers were really funny and everyone was entertained. I loved all the performances. I went to all the games booths and liked the Bottle Flip booth the best. I received a token for that. I was happy and surprised to see three bouncy castles that day! It was a good day and I know we are blessed.
Kris Matthias Chan Lai Woon, 3 Excellence
I was happy during Children’s Day because I received a lot of presents from my teachers. I received a teddy bear and stationery. Having one hour recess was nice because I could play longer. I went to the bouncy castles with another friend and I really liked it!

P6 GRADUATION
Each year, we celebrate a significant milestone of our Primary 6 pupils to mark the end of their primary school journey. In this poignant graduation ceremony, parents joined in and witnessed their children closing a chapter of their schooling experience.
During the ceremony, there were speeches, performances, and the presentation of certificates to recognise each pupil’s achievements. With pride in their eyes, teachers affirmed the pupils’ efforts and rejoiced in their progress and achievements.
Against the backdrop of colourful balloons, our pupils showcased their talents. It is a day of joyful celebration for pupils, parents and teachers alike. The popcorn and ice cream added to the festive mood. We bade farewell to our lovely pupils, certain that they will continue to exemplify the school values as they strive to realise their dreams. As for our pupils, they felt a mix of excitement and nostalgia as they said goodbye to their primary school but we know that they can look forward to new adventures in their secondary schools.We wish them much success in their future endeavours!
OVERSEAS INTERNATIONALISATION EXPERIENCE (XIAMEN, CHINA)
A group of 26 Primary 5 pupils, accompanied by five teachers and our Vice-Principal, Mr Keith Tan, embarked on an exciting Internationalisation Experience to Xiamen, China. During their two-day exchange with The Primary School Affiliated To Xiamen Foreign Language School, pupils attended lessons, interacted with local pupils, and formed new friendships. Beyond the classroom, they explored Xiamen’s rich culture and history through visits and hands-on learning experiences. The trip broadened their horizons and strengthened their global awareness, curiosity, and appreciation of cultural diversity.
This is my first time taking a flight out of Singapore and I was really excited. I enjoyed myself so much during the trip and was surprised by how advanced the technology in China is! I also made new friends and am thankful to my teachers for taking great care of all of us.
Maryam Hawani Binte Juma’at, 5 Courage
The lessons in China were interesting. They studied in the morning and had a 2-hour lunch break before continuing again in the afternoon. My classmates there were very helpful and I enjoyed their warmth and hospitality. I also learnt to be more independent during the trip! I hope to be able to go for future overseas learning trips again.

We were delighted to once again host pupils and staff from Kairos Gracia Christian School (KGCS) from 9 to 11 April this year. Their visit deepened our friendship as KGCS pupils joined our Primary 5 classes for shared lessons and cultural exchange. Our Student Councillors warmly led games and school tours, bringing them to the library, Eco-garden, and Heritage Gallery. Together with their Primary 5 buddies, they laughed, learned, and built friendships — turning every moment into a celebration of learning, connection, and joyful hospitality.

(S.T.E.A.M.) ACTIVITIES
Throughout the year, our pupils engaged in rich learning experiences across the lessons, programmes, and competitions. Through diverse real-world scenarios, they explored new perspectives, applied knowledge purposefully, and collaborated with confidence. These opportunities nurtured and strengthened their adaptive thinking and creative problem-solving skills, empowering them to respond thoughtfully and innovatively to challenges within and beyond the classroom.
During the Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition, I stayed resilient when my plane flew in the air for a few seconds only. We thought back to the tips and lessons with our teachers and made modifications. Then, I tried again and my plane flew better the second time. We were delighted when we found out we won the Precision Award.

PRIMARY 5 OUTDOOR ADVENTURE CAMP
A key component of the PE curriculum, the Primary 5 Outdoor Adventure Learning (OAL) camp provides authentic learning experiences for pupils to apply what they have learnt in Character and Citizenship Education and Physical Education in an outdoor setting.
Through a variety of challenging and team-based activities, pupils cultivate values such as resilience, teamwork, and leadership, and 21 st Century Competencies (21CC) including adaptive thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills. As they navigate unfamiliar environments, the experience also strengthens bonds among peers, encourages communication and builds positive relationships. By stepping out of their comfort zones, pupils gain confidence and a deeper appreciation for nature.
GROWTH MINDSET WORKSHOP
The Primary 4 Growth Mindset Workshop provided an opportunity for each pupil to understand the difference between having a growth mindset and a fixed mindset.
In both the Domino and Stacko activities, pupils worked in teams and used the growth mindset language, especially “The Power of YET”, to complete the given tasks successfully.
The Primary 5 Growth Mindset Workshop was a follow-up from the previous year’s workshop. Pupils learnt the metacognition process and strategies to improve it. Activities were conducted for pupils to understand the importance of effort and consistency in charting personal progress.
My friends and I thought of the best way to complete our tasks before we started. When we faced difficulties, we worked together and persevered. I learnt that we can succeed if we keep trying.

KCPPS FAMILIES FOR LIFE
Families for Life (FfL) aims to strengthen family bonds through engaging and meaningful activities. In collaboration with our FfL coordinator, Mr Yeo Zhiwei, the school organised two exciting events for pupils and their families.
The first activity was an Archery Workshop, where children and their parents learnt the basics of using a bow and arrow safely. Participants developed focus, coordination, and confidence during this activity. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, families also enjoyed friendly challenges and games that made learning archery both fun and rewarding.
Family Games Day, the second event supported by the volunteers from Living Praise Presbyterian Church, promoted active participation. Families enthusiastically took part in various station games. They cheered and motivated one another, fostering teamwork and family bonding.
I was delighted to spend quality time with my family while trying out archery for the first time. Although it was challenging at the start, we supported and encouraged one another throughout the activity. It was a fun and meaningful experience, and I look forward to participating in more family events like this in the future.

The activity was a special bonding time. It was our first time doing archery together. It helped strengthen our relationship through fun and teamwork.

BOYS’ BRIGADE
2025 has been an extraordinary and joy-filled year for our Boys’ Brigade (BB) as we proudly celebrate the 95 th Anniversary of The Boys’ Brigade in Singapore! It has been a year of milestones, fun, and meaningful achievements for our boys.
At the BB 95 th Anniversary Family Carnival held on 23 August, our boys, together with their family members, enjoyed a lively day filled with exciting stalls offering delicious food, interactive games, and thrilling challenges such as a shooting range, physical contests, and team missions. They demonstrated their teamwork, discipline, and enthusiasm as they played, competed, and cheered one another on.
In celebration of SG60, our BB boys also led the entire school in a meaningful recitation of the National Pledge using sign language, highlighting the importance of inclusivity, empathy, and unity among all Singaporeans.
The year concluded with the grand 95 th Anniversary Dinner and Awards Ceremony, attended by our principal, Mrs Yee-Toh Gek Khiaw, Chaplain Reverend Foo Yuk Yee, esteemed alumnus Elder Kok Siew Hoong, and teachers. Our company was deeply honoured to receive the prestigious JM Fraser Award for Excellence (High Distinction) — a proud recognition of our commitment to nurture disciplined, caring, and service-minded young leaders.
It was a great experience at BB Carnival with many BB friends and families.

GIRLS’ BRIGADE CAMP
This year’s Girls’ Brigade Camp, themed “Go Deep”, invited our girls to look beyond the surface and discover depth in every experience. They applied this by analysing ways to overcome their fears, especially for activities involving high elements, and reflecting on becoming young ladies rooted in character and values.
From survival cooking to team challenges, each task nurtured leadership, resilience, and teamwork. The girls learnt that even small actions, when done with care and purpose, could make a meaningful difference.
In GB camp, I learnt to be a leader by teaching others to be kind and responsible. I also learnt to clean up the classrooms and the environment to make it cleaner than before. I felt more self-disciplined and helpful in GB camp.
During the GB camp, we did outdoor cooking. My partner started the fire but when we lifted the cover, we saw that the popcorn was burnt! Our teacher encouraged us to try again and we did. The popcorn turned out well and we enjoyed eating it. I learnt that we should never give up and keep on trying!

GIRLS’ BRIGADE DRILL COMPETITION
Our 28P Singapore Company of The Girls’ Brigade proudly took part in the biennale Drill Competition organised by The Girls’ Brigade Singapore this year. From the very first training session, the girls displayed unwavering commitment, showing up early, encouraging one another, and refining every movement with focus and pride.
The girls grew in unity as they learnt to listen, adapt to changes, and collaborate with one another. The experience strengthened their bonds and nurtured them into Builders of Positive Relationships and Active Collaborators. Through the experience, they demonstrated what it meant to achieve excellence together.
Their hard work paid off and they demonstrated precision and confidence on the competition day, earning them the Gold Award and the Top in Uniform Award. We are immensely proud of their dedication and spirit for they have reflected the values and leadership that The Girls’ Brigade stands for.
Joining the drill competition was a meaningful and rewarding experience for me. I enjoyed attending the training sessions with my friends and getting to bond with them. Practising the same moves repeatedly was tiring but I learnt that perseverance is the key to success. At first, my drill was not very good before the competition but as I practised more, I got better. In the end, my hard work paid off and I was proud of myself for not giving up.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP CAMP
The three-day leadership camp immersed our Primary 5 student leaders in the Design Thinking process. Through team challenges, they learnt to empathise, and prototype ideas after a brainstorming session. The authentic activities allowed pupils to navigate uncertainties, generate innovative solutions, and refine ideas to address feedback received. The experience nurtured them as adaptive thinkers and inventive problem-solvers. The group challenges and shared reflections built their capacity as active contributors and collaborators, strengthening leadership grounded in creativity, resilience and teamwork.
STUDENT LEADERS’ INVESTITURE
The Student Leaders’ Investiture is a milestone event where our Primary 4 Peer Support Leaders, Student Councillors, Primary 5 CCA Leaders, and Student Council EXCO members were formally appointed. A memorable highlight was the pinning of badges by parents, symbolising the shared commitment of home and school in nurturing leadership. The ceremony reminds us that leadership is about service, responsibility, and demonstrating our school values in our daily lives. Empowered with trust and support, our student leaders are ready to inspire their peers, contribute meaningfully, and grow in character as they serve the school community.
The investiture reminds us that leadership is a shared journey – where we grow together, serve together and lift others along the way.

FRIENDLY FRIDAY
Friendly Friday is a recess engagement programme led by our Peer Support Leaders (PSLs). Held on every alternate Friday in Term 3, it featured an exciting line-up of activities — Listening Tent, Lego Fun, Express Yourself, Healthy Treats, and the Kindness Post-It Corner. These activities encouraged pupils to bond, express creativity, and spread kindness. Through planning and leading the sessions, our PSLs learnt to communicate, collaborate, and grow in confidence while fostering a friendly and inclusive school environment.
I enjoyed being a facilitator during the activities. I learnt that we should be kind to all.

PRIMARY 2 CCA ORIENTATION
The Primary 2 CCA Orientation provided an exciting opportunity for our Primary 2 pupils to discover the wide range of CCA available in the school. Filled with curiosity and enthusiasm, the pupils visited various CCA booths to learn more about the activities, training routines, and unique experiences each CCA offers.
Adding to the buzz of the day were our confident Primary 5 CCA leaders, who took centre stage as ambassadors of their respective CCAs. Through lively demonstrations, engaging presentations, and personal sharing, they proudly showcased their skills and experiences to inspire their juniors. This platform allowed the P5 leaders to hone their communication and leadership skills while deepening their sense of ownership and pride in their CCA.
I liked visiting the different CCA booths to find out more about the CCA. The P5 CCA leaders shared with us a lot of interesting things during their CCA sessions. I am looking forward to joining CCA in P3 next year!

GREENING KUO CHUAN:
CULTIVATING ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMPIONS
The Greening Kuo Chuan (GKC) initiative empowers pupils to become thoughtful environmental stewards through meaningful sustainability education. Guided by Singapore’s 2030 Green Plan, GKC’s termly themes — Sustainable Living, Biodiversity in Singapore, Resilient Future, and Energy Reset — create engaging learning experiences that resonate with pupils.
Through impactful whole-school activities like World Water Day’s unified blue display and water rationing exercises, pupils gain valuable insights on conservation. Inspiring assembly talks by local farmer Kenny Ang and educational partnerships with NEA deepen understanding of sustainable practices and environmental responsibility. Lower primary pupils connect with Singapore’s biodiversity through interactive NParks programmes.
These diverse experiences motivate KCPPians to become committed environmental advocates and responsible citizens with genuine hearts for conservation and our shared future.
After experiencing a water supply cut on Total Defence Day, World Water Day served as a meaningful reminder to be grateful for Singapore’s clean and reliable water. By coming to school dressed in blue, we showed our appreciation and our commitment not to take this precious resource for granted.

PRIMARY 6 ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS DAY CAMP
Our Primary 6 pupils had an unforgettable day on 28 February during their Environmental Awareness Day Camp! They discovered the importanct of caring for our planet. Pupils explored Singapore’s management of its limited resources and what each of them could do to make a difference.
The time spent at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve was fruitful. Pupils spotted birds, crabs, mangroves, and a crocodile while learning about Singapore’s amazing biodiversity. Back in school, they created beautiful terrariums and painted coasters inspired by nature. These fun activities helped everyone understand that even small actions would save the environment. The camp was not only meaningful but also a great way for pupils and teachers to bond, learn together, and celebrate the beauty of nature!
This camp taught me how to be environmentally friendly. During the camp, I learnt about the different types of roots of plants and how they came in various shapes and sizes. We have a rich biodiversity so everyone should do their part to be environmentally friendly and keep the Earth safe.
Zander Tan Xu Rui, 6 Courage
Through this camp, I learnt more about different organisms including the tailless crocodiles. In addition, I am more aware of the difference between alligators and crocodiles. We also learnt about the water cycle in the terrarium. One challenge I faced in building my terrarium was that the plants did not fit inside my container. Some of my classmates’ containers also could not fit many plants. So, we had to adapt and be creative to make it work. Although the plants in my terrarium are no longer alive, I am now more aware and appreciative of the biodiversity around me.

PRIMARY 6 BEACH CLEAN-UP
PSLE might be over but our Primary 6 pupils travelled to Changi Beach to learn beyond the classroom. They took part in a meaningful beach clean-up activity as part of the post-PSLE activities. For two hours, the pupils worked together to pick up litter scattered along the shore. Be it the hot sun or the occasional light drizzle, their enthusiasm never faded. Everyone was determined to keep the beach clean and protect the marine life that calls it home. Through this hands-on experience, pupils gained a deeper understanding of how human actions can impact the environment, especially the fragile marine ecosystem.
After the clean-up, the pupils had an enriching learning session with the knowledgeable facilitators from Young Nautilus. They discovered more about the rich marine biodiversity found in Singapore’s coastal areas and learnt why it is important to conserve these habitats. Before heading back, pupils captured beautiful photographs of the scenic beach and spent quiet moments appreciating nature’s beauty. It was a truly rewarding and eye-opening experience for all!
It was a fruitful activity because I learnt about the many species of marine creatures and I got to help the community by cleaning up the beach. I picked up quite a lot of litter such as huge pieces of foam and cigarette butts. We should not litter at all as it will cause the area to be messy which in turn will exhaust our cleaners.
Agustin Ang Hong Jie, 6 Diligence
It was a very unique experience for me as I had never thought I would be picking up trash at the beach! It was interesting as I picked up some trash that I had never expected to find. These include oil lamps, pieces of shattered glass, and also unused toys. I realised that there are still many people in Singapore who are inconsiderate to the marine creatures. This has inspired me to raise this awareness with my family and friends. Since I cannot stop people from throwing trash, I should do something to help the situation and I would like my friends and family to help me out too.

READ FOR BOOKS (BOOK CHARITY DRIVE)
Our school participated in the Read For Books, a signature charity book drive by the National Library Board. Through the concerted efforts of our entire school community, we are proud to share that a total of 384 books have been donated to support the less privileged. This achievement would not have been possible without the generosity and support of our pupils, staff and parents who came together to make a difference. Beyond the numbers, what truly matters is the spirit behind this initiative, nurturing the love of reading and extending the joy of books to children and families who may not have easy access to them. We are deeply grateful to our parents for encouraging your children and helping to spread the reading culture at home, and to everyone who contributed to bringing stories and knowledge into the hands of those who need them.
ARISE-IN-ACTION
Once again this year, our Primary 6 pupils put their creativity and teamwork into action by organising a two-day charity drive fondly known as Arise-In-Action to raise funds for selected beneficiaries. From brainstorming ideas to planning and executing the event, the pupils took full ownership of the project. Their goal was simple yet meaningful — to make a difference in the lives of others while promoting sustainability.
In preparation, pupils collected recyclable materials and upcycled them into unique handmade products such as toys, stationery, decorative pieces, and even jewellery like bracelets. These items became thoughtful tokens of appreciation for pupils who donated to the cause. During the two-day drive, held across the various recesses, the Pupil Activity Centre (PAC) was transformed into a colourful marketplace filled with creativity and excitement. Besides lending their talents to create the tokens, our Primary 6 pupils also designed eyecatching booth displays, created posters, and even dressed up as mascots to attract pupils to the booths. The event buzzed with energy as pupils from different levels moved from booth to booth, admiring the creative crafts and supporting the meaningful cause.
A total of $13,023.30 was raised over the two days. It was a wonderful experience that taught everyone the value of compassion, teamwork, and giving back to the community.
Last year, I saw that there were many rubber balls during the bazaar. They were popular items. So, my group and I decided to produce them with the hope that they will also raise funds for our charity drive.
It was tiring at times to produce the rubber balls and by the end of the day, our fingers would be sore and painful. As a solution, my group members and I wrapped plasters around our fingers so that it would not be so painful as we created our items. I hope that we can raise a lot of money so as to channel it to the beneficiaries.

FUNDRAISING FOR MYANMAR EARTHQUAKE
VICTIMS
Following the Myanmar earthquake, our school community immediately organised a fundraising event. There was incredible support and generosity shown towards the fundraising initiative and together, we raised a total of $5533.80. We are proud of how our school community came together and demonstrated Amazing Love to make a positive impact. The contributions will go a long way in providing much-needed aid and support to those in need.
When I heard about the earthquake, I felt really bad for the victims who had lost their properties and suffered injuries. Seeing all the destroyed houses, I felt bad for everyone, especially the young children. My friends and I thus decided to donate some amount of cash to help out in any way we can. I hope that the victims can rebuild their lives again.
Nur Azlin Sani, 6 Excellence
I helped to raise funds to help the people in Myanmar and Thailand. I stayed up till 10.00 p.m., doing slides to raise awareness about the earthquake. During recess, I used up a fraction of my time to persuade the other pupils and teachers to donate. The experience of helping out to raise funds for the victims of the Myanmar Earthquake was very enriching.

COHORT LEARNING JOURNEYS
Beyond the classroom walls, the Primary 3 to 6 pupils learnt about Singapore’s rich heritage and cultural roots when they embarked on meaningful learning experiences this year. Pupils listened to the stories and contributions of Singapore’s diverse ethnic communities and examined exhibits and artefacts. They developed a deeper appreciation for the different cultures that shaped our nation’s identity.
Guided by museum educators and supported by well-curated resources, the pupils engaged in reflective discussions and inquiry-based activities which allowed them to ask questions, draw connections, and explore beyond what was presented. They not only gained knowledge of the past but also reflected on how shared values such as resilience, harmony, and unity continue to guide Singapore forward.
I enjoyed learning about the Chinese culture through the stories shared by the museum guide and the various hands-on activities. I learnt more about the traditional musical instruments, calligraphy and Chinese opera. I was able to view the actual Chinese opera costume and understood what the designs and colours mean. I hope more people can also have such a learning experience.
Mohammad Syukrian Bin Bukhari, 4 Excellence
I found the exhibits on Indian festivals and traditions interesting and meaningful as they showed me how culture can be expressed through clothing, jewellery, music, and celebrations. Learning about the contributions of early Indian settlers in Singapore helped me understand how different communities have shaped our nation over time. This learning experience has deepened my appreciation for Singapore’s multicultural heritage.

PRIMARY 4 ART MUSEUM-BASED LEARNING JOURNEY TO NATIONAL GALLERY
The Primary 4 pupils embarked on a meaningful museum-based learning experience at the National Gallery this year. Prior to the learning journey, they were introduced to the museum and appropriate gallery etiquette.
At the gallery, besides studying the artworks, they were treated to a specially curated guided tour by docents of the National Gallery. The docents not only shared the exciting historical and cultural context of the artworks but also gave our pupils the opportunity to create and appreciate art through activities. The activities included role playing where they were asked to reenact the scenes from the artwork and story-telling where pupils imagined what it was like to be in the shoes of the characters in the artwork and what they might be thinking or feeling.
This experience provided both breadth and depth in learning about local art. The pupils appreciated how artists and their artworks allowed them to get insights into local history and culture!
During the learning journey, I saw many nice paintings, pictures of buildings with different architecture and vases. One interesting experience was when our guide gave us a piece of paper with a hole in it. We used it like a magnifying glass to observe a painting with many details. I chose a particular spot to focus on and appreciated the intricate details of a woman washing clothes near a tree. It was really cool!

I have been to the National Gallery many times with my family, so I saw familiar exhibits. It was a little different that day because there was a docent who showed us exhibits I had not seen before. I enjoyed the history session the most. I took time to admire the murals depicting the lives of the many people living in Singapore in the 1900s.

SWIMSAFER 2.0 & SINGAPORE SWIMMING PROFICIENCY AWARD (SSPA) 2025
Our Primary 3 pupils successfully completed the SwimSafer 2.0 & SSPA 2025 programme in Term 1. Designed to build swimming proficiency and water survival skills, the programme concluded with a practical test and online quiz. Pupils enjoyed engaging lesson activities, strengthened bonds with peers, and developed essential skills. Most importantly, they gained greater water confidence. We are proud of their achievements and welcome the positive impacts of this meaningful programme.
I like SwimSafer 2.0 as I get to learn swimming and water survival skills with my friends. Although the weather was cold, our teachers taught us how to keep warm. We followed their advice and wrapped ourselves with towels whenever we were out of the water. I was excited to be selected and was presented the Watermanship Award for my active participation during SwimSafer!

SwimSafer 2.0 was fun! I enjoy learning the swimming strokes together with my friends. I was nervous during the test. However, I continued to do my best and passed the swimming proficiency test!

NATIONAL SCHOOL GAMES (NSG)
Our pupils shine beyond the classroom through their participation in the National School Games (NSG). The NSG provides a platform to foster excellence, discipline and school pride in pupils. With dedication and resilience, our athletes train tirelessly, balancing academics and sports while representing the school with honour.
Our pupils represented the school in 14 out of 21 NSG. This includes badminton, basketball, bowling, football, golf, gymnastics, rope skipping, sailing, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, track and field, and wushu.
Our pupils embody the values of an active collaborator by supporting teammates and working towards a common goal. They coordinate strategies, respect opponents and celebrate both victories and setbacks with grace. Whether winning or learning from defeat, our pupils demonstrate the true spirit of sportsmanship. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all parents for your unwavering support. It has certainly helped to fuel your child’s passion and strength. Well done, KCPPians!
It’s my first time representing the school in rope skipping in NSG 2025. I felt proud and nervous during the competition. I learnt that with teamwork, we can do well. We managed to achieve the Top 8 placing for the Junior Girls Double Dutch competition! This has inspired me to continue to train harder. I look forward to the next season!
Training for our NSG started at the beginning of the year. In the first round, we did not do well. We trained harder and qualified for the semi-finals. We eventually emerged third with a score of 2 - 0. I hope that the juniors in the team will work even harder to achieve more in the future.
