THE SARAHRIAN

2024/25 Summer Term



2024/25 Summer Term
Hello Sarahrians, this is Siho, your new Arts and House Captain I appreciate being in charge of both roles and I look forward to contributing to the growth of Sarah House
I would like to share a few things about myself. I am passionate about arts and I have had the chance to lead several projects in the past, and participate in house events such as the Sarah House Musical, Commercial Dance, and more. From being a part of this house, I have noticed over the years that many of us have a tendency to overthink our abilities whether it be in speaking up for ourselves, competing, or engaging in projects Helping people overcome that is my main goal I believe every Sarahrian has something unique to offer and sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement.
I plan to reintroduce and complete the ongoing locker painting project as well as launch a Sarah House Mural that will need contributions from students across all year groups Through the projects I plan to do, I hope to create a space where everyone feels comfortable to participate, express themselves and take pride in their contributions.
While I also keep in mind that new challenges may appear, I am determined to lead with enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication
Thank you
Hello everyone! I am Jin, the house captain of Sarah
Been there, done that I not only have firm beliefs and a strong sense of self, but also a warm heart Through my various experiences during school life, I’ve learned how to sympathize with others and understand what they’re going through With that connection, I hope to make Sarah House an even warmer and more united community.
For me, Sarah house is more than just a group for competition it's a supportive and a family-like community We don't just aim to win; we lift each other up Even when opinions clash, we grow by learning how to respect different views and solve problems together That’s why I believe our house should be a space where we build friendships, support each other’s growth, and strengthen our leadership through empathy and collaboration
My aspiration for Sarah House is to strengthen our tradition of encouragement and teamwork To achieve this, I will build on our encouragement through routines like chants before and after competitions If conflicts arise, I’ll help shift the mood with calm conversations or light activities. I’ll also introduce fun icebreakers and team games to bring us closer and strengthen bonds across year groups, so that Sarah feels like a true family
As a leader, I won ’ t just lead from the front, I’ll support from behind, making sure no one is left out I’m here to help every Sarahians to shine, not just as individuals but as a team. With steady actions, open ears, and a warm heart, I’ll build a stronger, kinder, and more united Sarah House
Thank you
Hello, I am Adi Cho from Y10, and I have stayed in this school for about 10 years, so I do know a lot about this school I am one of the elected secretaries of the 25~26 Sarah Leadership Team, and I look forward to seeing Sarah become first place in every house competitions or winning the overall annual house competition for the first time My goal is to make sure everyone is trying their best and I am expecting to see everyone pushing their limits, instead of showing a lack of teamwork and whatnot Like I have pointed out before, I want to make sure that everyone is comfortable in joining and participating in numerous competitions, and to push beyond their limits to show we are capable of winning
Hello Sarahrians! It is great to introduce myself as Sarah house’s 25-26 house secretary Some of you might have seen me at NLCS musical of Cats and The Addams family, as the Gumbie cat or the grandma petting a rat. Yes, I am that drama girl who has been part of the musical every year Through those experiences, I have learned the importance of connection and communication with people, which is why I want to be a leader who always stays approachable and to support you to fully engage with Sarah house I am determined to make Sarah house stronger than ever in 25-26! We have often been underestimated, but it is time to shift others and their mindset: from being familiar to defeat to striving for victory. We may not win every single time, but together, we will build a house that relentlessly pursues success with passion
To achieve this, my priority is to create an environment where everyone can truly ENJOY being part of the house, as no enjoyment leads to no dedication For our Wednesday house activities, I want to hear your voices and know what YOU want to do. Whether through voting or personally reaching out to you, I want to know what Sarah house wants and find activities that will bring us together. As house secretary, I will also do my best to support you in upcoming house competitions, organise practice schedules, coordinate teams, and act as the bridge between you and the head of house or other teachers Since Year 7, my determination for Sarah has never wavered Now, I am ready to dedicate next year fully to make this house better I can ’ t wait for what’s to come Let’s make it an unforgettable year together. Looking forward to an amazing 25-26 with all of you!

I am Hansae Jung, the newly elected media captain for the next academic year, and the producer of this edition of Sarah Newsletter
I have always regarded media as a device that connects people around a system News companies use media to deliver information for citizens Politicians use media to influence the public opinion Broadcasting parties use media to entertain its viewers Media, thus, have become an inseparable part of our lives, and we are influenced by it under all circumstances, either knowingly or unknowingly. Likewise, becoming a media captain for a house is the equivalent of taking the responsibility of shaping the perceptions and beliefs of its people regarding the house
It is one of my dearest hopes that, when younger students of Sarah participate in House Competition events, they feel confident in wearing red and playing for the colour red. Therefore, it brings me great honour to play a position that directly influences the way students feel about their house
My role as a media captain is multifaceted. From arranging house newsletters to producing videos like hype videos, my responsibility requires an appropriate coordination of things that I believe are the best of Sarah In order to fulfil this role, your active engagement is required By engagement, I only necessarily mean your enjoyment of activities that you take part in At the end of my year as the media captain, I hope that the hype videos and produced works are full of smiles and expressions of satisfaction
Thank you for spending time reading through our newsletter Please also do look forward for other pieces of works that will be publicised from time to time
