J Yians in Action

Performing Arts Programme Modern Dance (Hip Hop)

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. Furthermore, NutzCrew was invited to participate in the Super 24 Dance Showcase and the Nanyang National Day Celebration. In school, NutzCrew performed for the Chinese New Year Celebration, Total Defence Day, Arts Passion Month, National Day Celebration and the Teachers’ Day Celebration.

All in all, every member of the NutzCrew is deeply humbled by all the victories they have brought home and is grateful for the guidance and help from the teachers and instructors. We are also thankful for the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, which allows us to deliver more engaging live performances. We pledge to continue delivering excellence both on and off stage.

Performing Arts Programme Cultural Dance

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.

Performing Arts Programme Symphonic Band

The Juying Symphonic Band (JYSB) aims to develop in our members the values of responsibility and resilience, a confident appreciation for music and team spirit through performance and involvement in a thriving musical community. As such, the Symphonic Band participates in various events to build up their exposure to the music scene. JYSB strives to give every member the opportunity to learn something outside of a classroom setting, and to give them a new skill. The members also learn to persevere in times of adversity, becoming more passionate about music playing and also learning to work in harmony as a team with the other members of JYSB, so as to create music together.

Uniformed Groups National Cadet Corp (SEA)

Since 2018, our JYSS National Cadet Corps (Sea) unit has been awarded “Distinction” every year for the annual Unit Recognition (UR). This achievement is a testimony to the past and present cadets and teacher officers who overcame the challenges due to the epidemic during the past two years.

After a two-year hiatus, major district-wide events such as Freestyle Drill (FSD), Sports Championship, Dragonboat Regatta, Mini-Kayaking Expedition, 1-Star/ 2-Star Kayaking Course, Camp FORGE and Camp STEEL returned as safe distancing measures were eased.

Amidst the slew of ongoing events, our cadets displayed resilience and tenacity in maintaining a balance between their academics and commitments in the CCA. Unyieldingly, they persevered unwaveringly and steadfastly to strive for excellence.

The Art Club aims to enhance the students’ passion as well as foster their self-confidence through a series of activities that comprise both traditional and modern arts. Through the weekly practice, students are empowered by their engagement in various art forms, such as acrylic painting and using sustainable materials in order to recreate their artwork. They also learnt to contribute to the school by participating in two key events this year’s “ National Day 2022 and Teachers’ & EAS Day 2022.

This year, our students also participated in two competitions - “Singapore Youth Festival 2022 (one group achieved the Certificate of Recognition) & Live On Festival 2022 (Aaron, 3E1, won Special Mention). Congratulations to all the members of the CCA and the winners for their hard work!!

Clubs and Societies Infocommunications and Technology

The Infocomm Technology Club provides a platform for students to acquire 21st century competencies and skills in the audio-visual, robotics, and photography domains. The club also provides students an avenue for character development through leadership training, camaraderie building and social integration.

In the Audio Visual and Public Address domain (AV/ PA), students receive authentic training experiences through supporting the school’s core events and successes. In the Robotics domain, students learn coding and programming of the LEGO SPIKE system through a series of theory and practical lessons. In Digital Media, students are exposed to a myriad of photography skills that are further honed through the curation of school and external events. Students learn to expertly wield different cameras from the DSLR range, as well as the specialised lenses that accompany these cameras.

Through means of providing support for the school and participation in competitions, students are able to put into practice the school values of Respect, Responsibility, Resilience, Integrity, Graciousness, Humility and Teamwork

The badminton teams have displayed grit and graciousness while competing with other schools. This year, our team also hosted for NSG West Zone B Division Boys Championship 2022. The learning and experience the teams have gained from participating and running tournaments have helped to mould their leadership skills and enhance their teamwork.

Besides developing our students’ passion for the sport, we also hope to cultivate values of compassion and empathy in our students. In addition to being athletic and strong sportsmen, we hope to nurture our badminton players into virtuous citizens of society.

Sports Basketball

VISION

A sporting community of JYian basketballers who aspire to achieve more and inspire others with their strength of character.

MISSION

- To encourage a vibrant team spirit amongst the school population, regardless of background, race or stream. - To use the CCA as a platform for students to achieve greater exposure to tactical knowledge, camaraderie in the basketball fraternity and refereeing capabilities.

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 Khiaraini, Mr Ma, Ms Lek, Mr Chuah and our coach, Mr Ray.

We will also be organising the Basketball Camp in November where the boys will plan the camp with the supervision of the teachers and coach, so as to achieve our Vision and Mission.

May Juying Basketball continue to build on our successes this year and attain greater achievements in the coming year!

Besides our shared love for the sports, we also give back to the community together through VIA activities such as the 100km Relay Run for Singapore Cancer Society and collaboration with Down Syndrome Association and other schools, enhancing the culture of care. Our netballers matured to be sincere, dedicated girls who are endearing yet tenacious in the face of adversity!
