“Oysters are known for their ability to draw sediments, nutrients and algae in and over their gills to create shiny, beautiful pearls. Likewise, we wish for Juying to be our pupils’ oyster.
We are a nurturing family for pupils of all abilities and backgrounds as we believe that every pupil is unique and every pupil can learn. We aspire to enhance and amplify the individual talents of all pupils, and develop them to be persons with strength of character, such that they may, like pearls, shine and illuminate any organisation they may enter in the future.”

‘GRATITUDE’, which continues to be the theme for this 2022 edition of our JYSS E-Magazine, has been a key focus for JYians and staff, for the last few years – marked by monthly reflections by our Principal, Mdm Soh BM, and kind deeds by the various members of the Juying family. As we continue to achieve our Vision to be a Gracious Community of Lifelong Learners, JYians have demonstrated positive and admirable character traits with various acts of gratitude and benevolence. In this very issue, the pages will showcase JYians expressing their thanks as they participate in the plethora of programmes and events that made 2022 so unique for Juying. Our continued collaboration with the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) to inspire Gratitude and Graciousness ‘one kind act at a time’ has made this effortless.
During the last two years, the school has undergone and is still undergoing a lot of changes to its physical façade. To name a few, the refurbishment of Care Hub, Opening of upgraded Gym, the major transformation of the library to PASSION Hub and many other exciting additions. It is gratifying to see students and staff utilise these facilities to the fullest.
The period under Covid-19 had not the least bit deterred the staff and students from their desire to continually support the school and the larger community. With the gradual removal of Covid-19 restrictions, many of our activities resumed after two years of dormancy. We are currently also challenged to adjust and adapt quickly because of the opening up. The school has resumed many of the activities that were not possible during the Covid-19 period. These include learning journeys, CCA activities, National School Games and other outreach programmes. All of these are welcomed by both the students and the staff.
Even though we have been through many challenging moments in the last two years, JYIANs have once again triumphed over these challenges and emerged victorious. This 2022 E-magazine is especially dedicated to all staff, students, their parents and school partners for the memories and significant moments captured within these pages. As we smile in our moments of success, let us be thankful and reflect in gratitude for all the goodness we have enjoyed and be ready to give back to others and to spread the happiness to even more people.
“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.” Cicero*

The English Language and Literature Department has exhibited more confident approaches to provide different lesson experiences for students this year. After two years of working on ICT-based lessons, students have been equipped with useful skills to conduct research and consolidate and communicate their learning in more creative and effective methods.
The exhilaration in the air was palpable. This year, EL Week was held on 17 to 20 May. The week celebrated a string of exciting English and Literature activities.
The department has also encouraged the use of multimodal analysis, in order to be able to tackle the new challenges of understanding the different forms of news and information today.
Students had the opportunity to exhibit their favourite Book Characters for Book Character Day. They had the creative freedom to not only choose the most iconic line and outfit, they could also whip out their acting chops as well! Various platforms saw student empowerment to showcase their hidden talents, such as the Spelling Bee to show off their spelling prowess, Caption Two! to allow them to weave in photographic inventiveness and an imaginative caption, and Essay-Writing to enable the teachers to dive into the world they created. This week definitely saw an appreciation of one another’s linguistic and literary talents.
The key programmes include contextualised learning of language skills and knowledge to develop communication skills effectively, including Contemporary Issues (CI) and Current Affairs (CA) resources to enhance and empower learning/ understanding of various themes in the syllabus.
We leverage technology to empower students to stay connected to MTLs beyond the classroom by using e-pedagogy in 1:1 PLD learning environment, infusing Blended Learning : Flipped Classroom and providing explicit outline of Learning Experiences (Discussion, Collaboration).
The MT Intensive Programme (for Graduating classes) equipped our students with specific examination skills to prepare them for the GCE ‘O and ‘N level examinations. The MT Fortnight Programme (MTFP) teaches Mother Tongue Languages (MTL) beyond the classroom by creating an environment that encourages students to use MTL and appreciate the heritage and culture through various activities in the programme.
Blended learning with the seamless use of ICT and face-to-face interactions is key in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics as we develop our students to be self-directed and intrinsically-motivated. Teachers continue to develop various methods to activate learning, promote thinking and discussion, facilitate student demonstration of learning as well as monitor and give feedback. Interactive thinking tools are used to enable students to explain their answers with clear reasons. Our students have more opportunities to work hands-on using apps and discuss with their classmates on the best ways
to solve mathematical problems. In order to develop confident learners and make learning visible, teachers use Talk Moves to enable our students to articulate their reasonings with correct mathematical vocabulary. Teachers strive to promote the joy of learning and make Mathematics meaningful for our students.
For LLP (STEM week), The Math Department built a cosy Math Escape Room where students collaborated to solve puzzles and problems. Students demonstrated their mathematical
problem solving skills and had fun in the process. Bridging Programme for Secondary 1 students was incorporated in order to get our new secondary one students ready for their secondary mathematics learning. Selected students went through a 6-week programme in January. This has helped students to be more ready and confident in their numeracy skills. Students who enjoy mathematics challenges are selected to participate in competitions such as the All Secondary School Mathematics Competition.
In Juying, a strong passion for Science is developed through engaging students’ heads, hearts and hands in every learning experience with inquiry-based learning and the discussion of real-world issues relating to life and the environment. Cultivating scientific values, ethics and attitudes begin at the lower secondary level through our key programmes. In the Science Inquiry Project, Secondary 1 students planned and carried out their own investigations to answer a question of their choice. In the Science Communication Project, Secondary 2 students built a prototype of an electric circuit system and explained the science behind how it worked in a video. For Food & Consumer Education (FCE) at lower secondary, students are involved in a mini coursework to design
food labels and to plan healthy meals. At upper secondary, teachers focus on developing disciplinary ideas in Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Nutrition & Food Science through concept-based learning and practical activities.
The Humanities Department’s primary go-to move is to adopt Inquiry-based learning which is an approach to learning that emphasises the student’s role in the learning process. We encourage our students to think critically and explore about issues pertaining to our respective disciplines. We also encourage students to provide objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a conclusion. A new aspect added to Humanities this year enables students to empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test solutions pertaining to different issues through Design Thinking.
Singaporeans. Students will be identifying a theme of their interest to investigate and evaluate the existing policies and subsequently propose new or modified solutions.
Geographical Investigations: Our students will undertake geographical investigations which are similar to those which geographers themselves follow when attempting to understand how the physical and human environment interact with each other.
Social Studies Investigations: The Issue Investigation adopts a Design Thinking approach to explore creative ways to improve on the policies affecting
History Investigations: Students can understand History by undergoing the process of primary source researching in order to navigate the complexity of History across the 19th Century via different lenses and experiences.
Our
In our Juying Secondary Aesthetics Department, we believe that at the heart of every JYian is an Artist. Our Total Arts Curriculum (TAC) is designed to nurture and polish the artist in our students. The school’s TAC takes the 5Es approach to Engage, Excite, Explore, Enrich and Empower all students.
students who have the talent and passion to pursue the Arts further, through our Visual and Performing Art CCAs, PASSION Arts modules and VIA projects, Polytechnic Advanced Elective Modules, as well as external Talent Development Programmes and industry attachments with Arts organisations.
to experience the joy of learning art and see the meaningfulness of the art discipline. Through the 4-5 years of Arts education in Juying, we develop essential learning dispositions in all our JYiansto become creative, appreciative and passionate learners through the inculcation of the Arts.”
The TAC has a robust, holistic and tiered structure that engages our students at multiple levels. Our Tier 1 broad-based Arts education caters to all students. It comprises the Art and Music curricula and showcases, Aesthetics assemblies and learning journeys, as well as PASSION Arts month and JYians Got Talent festival. We also have more targeted and deeper Tier 2 Arts training for interested students and enhanced exposure for selected
Some of our key Aesthetics Partnerships Programmes include the Lions International Peace Poster Contest, Singapore Organ Transplant Unit Live On Design Competition and One Heart for Singapore x National Day Parade Exhibition.
We strive to create an authentic, values-driven, student-centred and inquiry-based aesthetics education in our classrooms to allow our JYians

The D&T Unit believes that ‘Every JYian is a Designer’ and aims to nurture in our students the way of thinking and doing by providing an experiential learning platform through working on projects based on real-world contexts. Thinking routines, scaffolding/ templates for sketching and design stimuli are used to encourage designerly thinking among students.
Designing and making products become part of the learning experiences as students work on designand-make projects based on real-world situations.
We focus on students acquiring skills by doodling/ sketching, designing and applying other practical skills in making a prototype. Basic design knowledge and techniques such as random lines, SCAMPER and shape borrowing are used in designing to allow students to experience the process in the creation of a design solution.
Physical activity is necessary to students’ overall well-being. It teaches students key life skills alongside improving their health and wellbeing.
In our school, games in PE classes are modified to cater to students of different skill levels for engagement. The emphasis is on participation and valuing teamwork. To allow for more comprehensive learning, each sport module spans over a period of one semester. Acquiring the fundamentals of one sport makes it easier to master the skills of another and our students have demonstrated improvement in their abilities for each sport module.
At the end of each module, students participate in the culminating interclass games. This is always the highlight of each season. Team interactions teach students values of cooperation and team spirit which give students a sense of identity as they forge memories with one another.
The PASSION Programme is our customised CCE Programme, guided by national goals as well as research-based pedagogies that aim to nurture students to become Lifelong Learners with Strength of Character. The design and enactment of the integrated approach to develop in students good character, resilience and social-emotional well-being, future readiness and active citizenship, is guided by a set of principles that amalgamates the domains of purposes of education and authentic learning. Data in terms of evidence of students’ learning and students’ feedback were collected and analysed. Results suggested that the learning experience benefitted students by boosting their self-confidence, self-directed and collaborative learning skills as well as empathy.
Students are given a choice to choose their preferred PASSION (Personal Well-being, Arts, Sports, STEM, Internal security, Outreach, Nature) Module and they meet weekly with like-minded PASSION teachers and peers from the cohort to learn topics related to their PASSION Modules. They have to carry out research related to an advocacy area of their interest, collaborate with peers from different classes and work on an advocacy project that will take the form of social media content, as well as deliver an oral presentation. The year long learning culminates into a project showcase for guests and peers during the annual SPARK! Day.

Our vision is every JYian is a self-directed and collaborative learner through the use of IT and our mission is to build a pervasive culture of promoting effective use of ICT into the school curriculum to enhance pedagogy that engages collaboration and self-directed learning. The IT Department harnesses technology to provide an enriching learning experience to all JYians. This is done through PASSION ICT lessons for Sec 1s and Enhanced IT Training for Sec 2s.

At Juying Secondary School, Personal Learning Devices (PLD) will be frequently used in and outof-class to promote active learning and to generate greater personalisation. In class, the devices will be used to support learning of the curriculum subjects independently or collaboratively. Beyond the classroom, students will be able to use the device for home-based learning. Students can review past lessons, access digital resources on the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) and other digital platforms to enhance their learning and explore topics

of their own personal interests using the device. Our teachers design varied learning experiences for our students to learn new media literacies where they connect, curate and create. Students can also make use of digital tools such as calendaring and note-taking applications to enhance their personal productivity. The use of PLD goes beyond the provision of a device but requires a shift in the way lessons are designed and enacted to provide the learning experiences to ‘find, think, apply and create’ through the mediated use of technology.
Our Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Oracy aims to ‘Develop Confident, Competent and Empathetic Communicators’. Our ALP has a holistic framework that focuses on the 5Es ‘Engage, Excite, Explore, Enrich and Empower’. All our Engage programmes aim to Excite all JYians to have the joy of communicating, allow them to Explore and discover their style as a speaker, Enrich them by sharpening their oracy skills and Empower them to advocate for positive changes, be it in school or in the community.
Every year, we organise a series of workshops for all our JYians. Our Secondary Four and Five students embarked on their DSA/EAE preparatory interview training this year. They worked on their
personal narrative and application write-ups, built their e-portfolios and learnt to ace their interviews. Our Secondary Three cohort underwent research and presentation skills training, which saw them getting hands-on experience, practising how to give an effective presentation and researching on their presentation topics. Our Secondary Twos learnt to use the Readers’ Theatre Strategy to act out their scripts and put up a skit that involved applying drama techniques and exercising their creativity to bring across their advocacy message through their performance. Our secondary ones learnt to do storytelling and put together their digital storybooks that allowed them to apply the storytelling strategies they learnt and exercise their creativity in teams.
Every year, we recruit Secondary One and Two students who are interested in enhancing their oracy skills into our ALP Talent Development Programme. We provide a customised training workshop to train our ALP talent pool and Juying Achievers Programme students in toastmasters, to equip them with the necessary skills to start their journey as our Juying Gardens Ambassadors with Gardens By The Bay and represent the school in upcoming national competitions. We also conduct oracy training to develop our student leaders into more confident, competent and empathetic leaders so they can perform their roles better.
Our Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in PASSION aims to develop self-directed and intrinsically motivated learners through PASSION. Our LLP has a holistic framework that focuses on the 5Es’ “Engage, Excite, Explore, Enrich and Empower”. All our programmes aim to engage the heads, hearts and hands of all our JYians, excite them through exciting learning experiences, allow them to explore local and global issues, enrich them with enriching knowledge and skills and empower them as young advocates who will advocate for positive changes, be it in school or in the community.
embark on research and investigation, collect data and do analysis, and undergo ICT and ALP training. This programme allows students to interact with and make new friends across streams in the cohort, as well as hone their social emotional competencies.
The Tier 1 LLP programmes, which target at all the students in each cohort, include the PASSIONthemed Assembly Talks, PASSION curriculum and PASSION SPARK! Day and VIA Projects, which JYians from lower secondary and upper secondary respectively have to ideate in teams to come up with to showcase their learning and advocate for what they are passionate for.
All JYians also get to enjoy monthly PASSION-themed activities that expose them to the various themes that they may not have much knowledge and awareness of, to allow them to have a greater understanding of the social issues and current affairs surrounding the PASSION themes. The PASSION-themed months also enable JYians to see how the IP, CCA and CCE curricula are relevant to their PASSION experience as different subjects and CCA groups will be involved during different PASSION months to help JYians draw the connections and gain greater appreciation between what they are learning in school and what is happening in the world.
and through archiving these learning opportunities, they will be able to take stock of these milestone checks during Parent-Teacher Conferences, as they share and articulate their growth to their parents and teachers. The Secondary 4s and 5s will eventually be able to apply for EAE/DSA and use their E-Portfolio in a reflective and authentic way to showcase and represent themselves to the interviewing panel more effectively.
The year-long PASSION curriculum is offered to the Secondary One and Two cohorts. JYians get to choose one of the following PASSION modules; Personal Well-being, Arts, Sports, STEM, Internal Security, Outreach and Nature. JYians get to enjoy learning journeys, dialogue with invited guest speakers,
Finally, all JYians get to participate in the Juying PASSION Writing Festival and to reflect on their uniquely Juying PASSION journey in their PASSION E-Portfolio, which serves as a personal branding portfolio that will showcase the growth and development each JYian has made each year, through all the learning experiences the school has provided. JYians get to reflect on their takeaways

Active Pursuit for Passion to Learn and Excel (A.P.P.L.E) is an after-school programme which aims to increase the motivation level of the students in achieving their goals, promote self-leadership, equip them with Social and Emotional Competencies (SEC) relating to conduct / behaviour such as anger management and coping mechanisms to overcome difficulties, develop the desire to attend school regularly, and improve the students’ relationships with peers and significant adults. The school partners an external agency, Majulah Community, in the running of the programme. The youth workers are trained and are engaging the students in the form of group work.
ECG Café 2022 is a monthly affair in Juying secondary school to expose students to the different career sectors by inviting guest speakers from different industries to share their insights with our JYians. Below are some examples of the cafes that we have held in 2022.
With the issue of mental health among school students in Singapore having been thrust into the spotlight in recent years due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, Juying had the honour of having Mr Rayson Choo, a psychiatric nurse, to share the intricacies of the life-changing work he does. Mr Choo gave our JYians a thorough understanding of the needs in the profession by stressing the attributes that a competent psychiatric nurse must possess.
In light of the recent OCBC phishing scams and the hacking of Toei Animation studios, the ECG Cafe invited Mr Khairul Nizam, Deputy Chief Executive (Development) of Cyber Youth Singapore, to share his insights on the world of ethical hacking. In his sharing, Mr Nizam introduced our JYians to the world of white hat, black hat and grey hat hackers,
as well as various programming languages ranging from Python, Linux to C++. JYians also had a handson experience to practise ethical hacking via the Metasploit software.
To commemorate the 80th Total Defence Day Celebration, the ECG Committee was honoured to have Mr Nelson Tan, a consultant for CyberSecurity Agency Singapore, share his insights into the cybersecurity landscape in Singapore. Mr Nelson unravelled how phishing attacks occur and emphasised the importance of passwords and authentication. Having roused the interest of our JYians, he also shared the multiple possible career prospects in the cybersecurity sector.
Such dialogues with industry partners aim to indeed empower our youth to help them make informed career choices.
On 22 of March, 2022, over 300 JYians were invested as student leaders. The theme for this year’s investiture was Constellations. Much like stars that shine brightly on their own but come together to form a bigger picture, Juying’s student leaders shine individually as role models, but also collaborate in order to serve the school and the wider Nanyang community. As the apex of student leadership in Juying, the Student Council is akin to the North Star, which is fixed in the night sky. Similarly, the Student Council leads the rest of the student leaders with unyielding conviction. During the ceremony, the 4th President of Student Council, Goh Jia En, stepped down and Charis King En was invested as the 5th President of Student Council. The ceremony ended with Charis leading the Student Leaders’ Pledge, in which all student leaders stood and pledged their service and commitment to the school and community.
The Graduation Night for the Class of ‘22 was the final event for the cohort to gather and celebrate the completion of their journey in Juying. Jointly organised by school staff and JPSG, we had teachers performing and JPSG and teachers conducting games with the graduates, with the highlight being the lucky draw with prizes contributed by staff and parents generously. It was a night to remember, and certainly one to cherish and be thankful for. Their journey in Juying may have come to an end, but the sense of belonging and identity will remain as strong as ever. Once a JYian, always a JYian!

SPARK! Day is an annual event where our JYians come together to celebrate and showcase their PASSION projects, as well as to ignite the spark in all our guests and visitors. This year, it is our pleasure to host about 600 primary students from our cluster schools! The JYians put in a lot of effort in showcasing their PASSION knowledge and skills learnt for the entire year. They featured their advocacy messages, digital collaterals designed by them, presentation slides as well as their oracy skills learnt from the Applied Learning Programme. Below, you can find a link to a video montage that will give you a glimpse of the event and a link to the photographs taken that day!

After a 2 year hiatus due to the pandemic, it was indeed refreshing and enriching to be able to go out beyond the classroom to learn, experience and explore. One important milestone for our Secondary 3 JYians was being able to give back to our community by extending our hearts and hands to the elderly at two NTUC Active Ageing Centres (Taman Jurong and Jurong Central Plaza) and one Senior Activity Centre (Boon Lay).
Each class researched and designed games and activities which they could do with the elderly. The activities planned by each class were in alignment with the PASSION theme that they had selected. Students delivered their kindness at one of the three venues by engaging the elderly over 16 sessions, with different activities planned for each session.
The intensive process of planning and designing activities that were empathetic and engaging was indeed a challenging one, especially having to be mindful of the Safe Management Measures in place and the special needs of the elderly. Moreover, having to think on their feet and improvise their planned activities after assessing the elderly’s mood, mode of language and mobility, was a skill that our students got to practise and hone.
Nonetheless, it was all worth the effort, seeing the smiles on the faces of the elderly during the active engagement sessions. The experiences and interactions with the elderly were rewarding and heart-warming for our JYians, the young leaders of the future.
We celebrated Total Defence Day (TDD) 2022 with a myriad of activities catered to different groups of students. The theme for this year was ‘Together we keep Singapore Strong’. The following lists the activities conducted in conjuction with TDD 2022:
Interested Sec 2 students signed up to go to Singapore Discovery Centre for a drama show for a hands-on experience. The experience was enriching for students as they re-lived the experiences of our forefathers and appreciated the life they have now.
JYians viewed a Humanities Exhibition on the 6 Pillars of Total Defence over a week and participated in a quiz based on the exhibition at the end of the week. Prizes were given out to each class.
JYians enjoyed the interactive Total Defence Assembly Game show during their CCE lesson conducted by Singapore Discovery Centre personnel and our very own teachers. Students had a whale of a time voicing out their opinions to the different situational videos.
JYians watched videos about Total Defence, put together by NCDCC, NCC (Sea) and Hip Hop to spark their discussion for the CCE contemporary issue lesson.
Interested Sec 4/5s signed up for the ECG Café session by Cyber Security Agency to understand more about this field/industry for their academic and career exploration.
The Chinese New Year celebration marked the first celebrational event in our school. To usher in the spring season with gratitude in our hearts, and to get JYians to count our blessings, we continued the tradition of our hamper wrapping competition. All of us participated with enthusiasm. It was observed that JYians contributed many necessities and festive goodies. Some classes and departments even made more than one hamper! All these hampers were then given to the Nanyang Community needy families. On the eve of Chinese New Year, which fell on 31 January 2022, we had our actual celebration! Reunion breakfast in groups of 5 was held in class.
Finally, students and teachers were able to sit and eat together after a year’s wait. After that, students learnt to make paper-cutting crafts to decorate their classrooms and played games on Kahoot!, which tested their knowledge on the traditions and taboos of Chinese New Year. The highlight of the day was the e-concert! Our school leaders, students, performance CCA groups prepared awesome performances not only showcasing Chinese culture but students’ talents too! JYians thoroughly enjoyed the celebration and we are looking forward to a prosperous year ahead!
Clad in Singapore’s national colours of red and white, teachers, staff and students alike gathered at the parade square for the National Day Celebrations marking the 57th anniversary of our nation’s independence.
by all our Performing Arts, Clubs, and Societies Co-Curriculum Activities (CCAs). The festivities concluded appropriately when the entire school sang National Day songs in unison.
The Observance Ceremony was led by our school’s Uniformed Groups (UGs) from the National Cadet Corps (Sea) and National Civil Defence Cadet Corps, as well as the Symphonic Band. During the ceremony, our school leaders, Mdm Soh Beng Mui, Mr Ng Han Ming and Mr Tan Ching graced the parade participants with their presence before Mr Ng, the Vice-Principal, delivered the National Day message.
The ceremony proceeded with the marching in of the state flag bearers from the respective UG units and the school flag bearer from the Student Council, followed by the singing of the National Anthem, recitation of the National Pledge, honorary salutation to all national servicemen past and present in commemoration of NS55 and recitation of the recollections.
Following two years of lost opportunities to engage in mass school activities, the festivities represented a memorable day for all JYians, staff, and teachers, and honoured the dedication, resilience, and service of all the teachers, students, and CCA instructors during the pandemic.
As we celebrate our Nation’s 57th birthday, let us bear in remembrance the contributions of those who have come before us and how we can emerge stronger together through trying times.
You and I, Together We Will Succeed!
In the school Multi-Purpose Hall (MPH), the celebrations continued with various activities such as the Dance of The Nation (DOTN); a quiz on Singaporean Landmarks; Don’t Forget the Lyrics (NDP Songs Edition); and an integrated performance
Abigail Adams once said that ‘Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardour and attended to with diligence.’ Indeed, JYians who had shown great learning attitude and determination achieved good academic results. This group of JYians received their awards for their great academic performance.
The Academic Excellence Recognition Ceremony is an annual event that is held to show recognition to JYians who have performed well academically. This year, AERC was conducted over three different sessions when the prize winners celebrated their
achievements together with their peers. A total of 108 JYians received awards for their good academic results in 2021. The JYian with the highest score for each subject would receive the Certificate of Academic Excellence Award for that subject.
While we celebrate and acknowledge the good work of the prize winners, this ceremony also serves as a good reminder to all JYians that hard work pays off and a positive learning attitude will help them achieve their academic goals, just like how the prize winners attained their academic goals.
On 1 September, Juying Secondary School (JYSS) celebrated Teachers’ and EAS’ Day. Organised and executed by Juying’s Student Council, the celebrations demonstrated JYians’ appreciation and gratitude for all that their teachers do for them. The theme of this year’s celebrations was DREAM Garden, to reflect how students bloom into the best version of themselves under their teachers’ careful and tireless care.
After a personal celebration in the classroom, the school gathered in the hall to watch this year’s Teachers’ Day Concert, the first in two years. The spectacular performances from Modern Dance, Show Choir, Cultural Dance and JYian Got Talent winners were interspersed by interactive games and Novelty Awards. It was a meaningful end to the term!
The
After a two-year hiatus, JYSS staff was excited to be able to celebrate and enjoy Teachers’ Day together with a bang. Both teaching and nonteaching staff of JYSS gathered for the Teachers’ & EAS’ Day Dinner, on the evening of 31 August 2022, at JEN Singapore Tanglin by Shangri-La. The event was graced by Mr Andy Koh, our School Advisory Committee Chairman, along with other members of the committee, our partners and Juying Parents’ Support Group (JPSG) Exco members. It
was a night of showing appreciation to our partners in education, and JYSS’ teachers and staff for their hard work and dedication. Themed “MET Gala –Glitz & Glam”, our staff put on their creative hats and strutted down the red carpet showing off their costumes, props and moves! The dinner celebrated the coming together and the camaraderie that has developed amongst JYSS staff, as well as the building of a culture of care and trust in anticipation of an uncharted future.
Strike a pose!
During the first week of school, Secondary One JYians, went through an entire week of orientation. As per usual practice, the Secondary One R2IGHT Orientation Programme was planned and executed by selected Secondary Four students. Through the orientation programme, JYians learnt about and exhibited the school’s R2IGHT values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Gratitude, Humility and Tenacity!
In addition, a CCA Fair was also organised for the Secondary One JYians to make a more informed choice when selecting their CCA. All CCAs prepared an introduction and some activities to engage the Secondary One JYians to develop a better understanding of each CCA.
As the orientation programme drew to an end, the school formally welcomed the Secondary One cohort through the Secondary One Installation Ceremony.
The theme of the programme was Superheroes and Secondary One JYians had to work together to find the fragmented jewel pieces to defeat Dr Ungracious They participated in various activities such as class bonding games and a school tour. To help strengthen their bonds, every class enjoyed a Class Bonding Day with activities like Art Jam, Laser Tag, Jigsaw Puzzles or Rubik’s Cube Art.
To familiarise themselves with school programmes, Secondary One JYians also took part in a PASSION Taster Session where they got to choose and attend a PASSION module that they were interested in. PASSION is our school’s customised CCE curriculum which gives students a choice of their preferred module. The modules cover a variety of contemporary issues where students would also get to hone their social emotional skills through interactions with their peers.
All Secondary One JYians were presented with a special Singa badge to remind everyone the importance of kindness and gratitude. We also held the Secondary One Scholarship Ceremony. Scholarships were presented to Secondary One JYians with outstanding academic results.
While Secondary One JYians had a meaningful and enjoyable first week, let us not forget an important group of people who made this experience possible –the Secondary Four Orientation Group Leaders! The orientation programme ended on a heartwarming note with Secondary One JYians giving their Secondary Four seniors gratitude notes to express their heartfelt appreciation.
It was a great week and JYians certainly started the year on the R2IGHT foot!
Counselling Room that has been strikingly designed to capture the essence of “Endless Possibilities”
Inviting façade of the CARE Hub
The old Counselling Hub is renamed as the CARE Hub, in alignment to the positive school culture. CARE stands for Connection, Aspiration, Resilience and Empowerment. We would like the students to take responsibility and ownership of their well-being and use the hub as a place to connect and build quality relationships with their peers and teachers.
Counselling Room that has been designed to invoke tranquility Workshop Area where support is rendered for students with learning needs and group activities targeting socioemotional competencies are conducted
The ECG Corner provides students with self-help resources, games and activities that they can access to build bigger dreams and aspirations.
The Live Life Hub is the newly renovated gym room in the school
Aligned to the PE Department’s vision and mission, the Live Life Hub serves to empower students to achieve goals in fitness and healthy living. The hub consists of 3 zones: The strength training zone, the aerobic training zone and the learning zone. The strength training zone is equipped with free weights and weight lifting support devices. Weight training builds lean, strong muscles, strengthens bones and joints and helps keep metabolism in a healthy state. The aerobic training zone is home to the elliptical cross fit trainer, the treadmills, spinner bikes and the air rower. All cardio machines are for weight management and overall cardiovascular fitness. Regular aerobics training keeps hearts and lungs healthy and reduces risk of chronic disease.
During the school PASSION month in August this year, clinics were conducted at the learning zone to bring awareness to recent sports research findings on the effects of deep muscle stretching on muscle growth. PE teachers also introduced new training strategies such as HIIT treadmill workout and cross fit training.
Through the Live Life Hub, students are equipped with both knowledge and skills for a lifelong investment in exercise fitness.
With the completion and opening of the Juying PASSION Hub this year, our JYians were able to use the innovative spaces in the PASSION Hub during and after school curriculum for many varied purposes. These included borrowing and reading library books, attending Passion, Academic and enrichment lessons, as well as doing their homework and revision after school. Our JYians were also able to use the SPARK! Room, and Stand and Deliver Stage for varied learning activities, including brainstorming, discussing and collaborating with their group mates, meeting and consulting their teachers after school, doing project presentation rehearsals and showcases, and putting up performances and exhibitions at the PASSION Hub!
Besides the SPARK! Room and Stand & Deliver Stage for our JYians, our PASSION Hub also houses the Gratitude and PIPER Rooms for our staff to hold meetings and sharing sessions with colleagues and external partners.
Since the opening of the PASSION Hub, we are delighted to observe all the learning and innovation that have been taking place. We are thankful for the strong support from our SAC members in helping the school to achieve our vision of ‘Developing Lifelong Learners with Strength of Character’ through the construction of our Juying PASSION Hub!

We had an exciting month in July with our LLP PASSION Outreach Month activities, to spread the spirit of kindness and promote the joy of doing good in all our JYians!
Posters were put up by our ALP & LLP Champions to rally a call-to-action from JYians. JYians were encouraged to share how they had helped others / animals or improved the environment around them and take photos or short clips as evidence of action. The goal was to mobilise every class to participate and cultivate this habit of showing kindness in Juying.

We advocated for greater self-affirmation among our JYians through an advocacy tagline competition, to rally everyone to affirm one another and build their self-confidence.
In an effort to raise funds for the Juying Gratitude Fund to support fellow underprivileged JYians and their families and Nanyang Consituency Education Grant to assist members of our Nanyang community, Juying Secondary School embarked on the Adopt-A-Singa Project. Staff and parents were given the opportunity to adopt a limited edition Singa figurine and paint him with their family and friends to represent the embodiment of kindness from their lenses. The event was well received by staff and parents who not only adopted a Singa but also donated generously for the charitable cause.
On 28 May 2022, Mr Ang Wei Neng, our Minister for West Coast GRC, graced the Paint-ASinga event which saw staff, students and their families taking time off to come together as one Juying family to paint their adopted Singa. The room reverbated with much laughter and happiness, all for a good charitable cause indeed.
The pictures below were a testimony of the fun that those who took part had, while allowing their creative juices to flow to depict Singa from their own perspectives!
After a 2 year hiatus due to the pandemic, it was refreshing and enriching to finally go out beyond the classroom to learn, experience and explore. Upper secondary students, as a class, chose their PASSION themes. Thereafter, each class went on a learning journey to a venue related to their choice of
PASSION theme, where they immersed in an experiential learning to be inspired. Most Secondary 3 to 5 Students went to one of the following venues for their learning while also bonding together as a class: Singapore Discovery Centre, Sports Hub, Sustainable Singapore Gallery, National Gallery, Mint Toy Museum, Snow City, Enabling Village.
The JYSS-Queensland Student Exchange Programme is a special partnership established in 2019 between Juying Secondary School and IMPACT Centre, a unit of the Queensland Department of Education specialising in online learning, critical thinking and STEM. This year, we collaborated with Mansfield State High School to connect students online for a STEM Challenge, where students
competed to build the tallest tower possible. JYians also interacted with their counterparts and shared enthusiastically about school life. This online exchange will culminate in an overseas learning journey next year in 2023, where experiencing the Australian culture will greatly deepen students’ global awareness and cultural sensitivity.

Advanced Elective Modules (AEM) offered by polytechnics enable students to explore viable education and career options. The course spans over 3 to 4 days, with many practical components and some learning journeys to industries.
During the March holidays, 40 Secondary 4 Express students opted to attend AEMs conducted by
Polytechnics. All Secondary 3 Express students also attended an AEM module of their choice from a list of 7 modules during the June holidays. In addition, to learning and creating new products during the module, it also acted as an eye-opener into tertiary education. Students acquired new theoretical and practical knowledge beyond their classrooms.
“Campfire’s burning now, Campfire’s burning now! Burning now, burn burn burn!” Finally, after a long period of suspension due to Covid-19, JYians were able to participate in an overnight camp again!
The 3 days 2 nights camp at MOE Labrador Outdoor Adventure Centre was certainly a funfilled and meaningful experience for our Secondary Two JYians! Before the camp, JYians did not know what to expect and they had mixed feelings about the residential camp. However, JYians rose up to the occasion once again as they displayed great camaraderie as a cohort, and exhibited the school’s R2IGHT values through their interactions with one another and active participation in the activities.
One of the more memorable activities was outdoor cooking. Equipped with a mess tin, a few pieces of solid fuel, a packet of instant noodles and some hotdogs, JYians were tasked to whip up a meal as a group. After the safety briefing, they had to plan and delegate work to all members to ensure that their outdoor cooking was a success!
Another activity that brought out the great team spirit amongst JYians was the low elements. All the low element activities required additional support from JYians whenever someone was attempting an activity. JYians made sure that their peers were wellsupported and this segment of the camp helped to build stronger trust within the classes.
JYians continued to bond with their classmates and teachers through the preparation of their campfire performances! It was amazing to see how every class planned and practised for their class performance. Class Leaders took charge and led their classmates as they generated ideas from scratch. During the campfire, JYians performed with enthusiasm and confidence, it was a very memorable night for everyone. To end the day with a grateful heart, Class Leaders planned a Gratitude segment in secret! A surprise element as part of the campfire, Class Leaders presented Gratitude Notes to all the School Leaders, teachers and their camp facilitators to express their appreciation to them!
With that, the campfire ended on an exceptionally high note with when we announced a surprise for JYians - the Camp T-shirts!
Throughout the three days, JYians forged stronger bonds, showed more appreciation to people around them and developed stronger school pride. We cannot wait for the next opportunity to have a camp like this again!
Juying Secondary School’s Modern Dance Team, more affectionately known as the NutzCrew, consistently exhibits hard work and perseverance in their performances aspiring to entertain and spread cheer to the audience.
Earlier this year, NutzCrew emerged as second runner up for the D:2 Dance Competition after tenaciously overcoming the many unprecedented challenges and restrictions while preparing for their final performance. They also represented the school in the finals of the Chinese Street Dance Competition, a dance competition aiming to promote the use of the Chinese Language.

2020 and 2021 have been challenging for Cultural Dance. Engaging in CCA through hybrid learning has been both a challenging but meaningful experience. These two years have taught the dancers to be more grateful than before and to be more resilient in facing the journey ahead of them. This year, Cultural Dance welcomes Mr Quek Jiang Da, our new dance instructor who has helped us kick off 2022 with lots of positivity! Also, Cultural Dance welcomes Ms Suhana Jumadi as the new CCA OIC, together with Ms Goh Wan Ru and Ms Guo Bing Lian as the TICs.

This year has been momentuous for Juying Basketball. This was the first time our student athletes were able to participate in full in the NSG after it was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past two topsy-turvy years. The Games were cancelled for the first time in 2020 and were partially restored in 2021. Both our B and C Divisions competed in the West Zone Inter-School Basketball Championships in Term 2 and Term 3 respectively, putting their best effort. The boys gave it their all and kept the Juying flag flying high, through their perseverance and discipline on the court. This was not possible without the care and guidance from our CCA teachers-in-charge, Mr Choong, Mdm
May Juying Basketball continue to build on our successes this year and attain greater achievements in the coming year!

These 4 years have been a roller coaster ride for us. We had almost given up, however, the neverending encouragement that all our teachers gave us helped us to persevere. Although some of us have given you endless headaches and troubles, you still treat us the same and keep giving us advice to help us improve. Not even a second did you leave us to struggle. You kept holding our hands throughout the journey. It was a dark road for us, but you were the light that shined the way for us to pass through smoothly. We have no words to describe how thankful we are to you. You have taught us to be responsible young adults and have given us the confidence to move to the next step in life. Thank you so much.
Time really flies, so cherish what you all have right now. Despite not being the best student, our teachers have stayed with us through thick and thin. It’s been a rough journey but we are sure all of us have matured. We tried giving up but with our teachers' endless efforts, we could continue with the journey. Despite disappointments, headaches and uncountable numbers of scoldings, you have yet to see them give up on you, so don’t take it for granted. Our teacher have shared with us the knowledge, skills and values that transform us from immature students to young adults who will soon be stepping into the working world with no more guidance. Words are unable to express our gratitude for the teachers in Juying.
I have made many fond memories and bonds with teachers. Although I am far from being a model student, my teachers have been patient and kind in guiding me. They have helped to shape my character. Thank you to all teachers who continue to be a part of a student's journey! :)
Thoughout my 4 years in Juying, i would like to express gratitude to my teachers and appreciate how you all are willing to help me with my studies. thanks for all the memories you have created with me and i definitely would still cherish them forever in life you all definitely made my journey more enjoyable by cracking jokes and such during lesson times.
to my form & subject teachers, thank you for always going the extra mile to assist us with our studies - the after school consultations, the easy to reference notes and more. We will strive to achieve results to the best of our ability.
To my peers, I hope we can all get our desired grades for O level and get into the course/school we dream of. This journey will definitely be hard, but it will be worth it at the end when we receive our results! Remember to always have sufficient rest & breaks in between study sessions! Thank you for the past 4 years in Juying ! It was nice knowing most of you all :) All the best for Os!
