180th Anniversary Celebrations

How do you close a 180^th anniversary year filled with celebrations and memorable events? With thanksgiving! On 16^th November, students, staff, alumnae and other members of the St. Margaret’s family gathered at St. Andrew’s Cathedral to celebrate our 180^th Founder’s Day.

During both the morning and evening services, the congregation heard about how Mrs Maria Dyer founded the school, and of the school motto Charity, Patience and Devotion.

The evening 180^th Anniversary Thanksgiving Service was the finale to a year-long celebration. The choirs of both the primary and secondary schools, in attendance with their respective performances and the congregation comprising alumnae, past and present staff sang songs of praise to God. Joy and gratitude pervaded every life touched by the legacy of one faithful woman of God. The programme culminated with the singing of the school hymn in the darkened Cathedral lit by candles that shone bright, each held by individuals who call St. Margaret’s home. This was truly a day to remember as former students, staff and principals reconnected in a time of fellowship as one family.

We at St. Margaret’s School thank God for His blessings and protection upon us for the past 180 years. With God’s enabling, as we light the path we tread, we look to the years ahead. We pray that the school will grow from strength to strength, glory to glory as we live out the theme of our 180^th Anniversary- Let our light shine!

Students were to inquire into the meaningful connections between their personal experiences and aspects of sustainability in relation to people, culture, or the environment and reflect on: What does a better future look like? How can we make that happen?

International Mathematical Modelling Challenge (IMMC)

IMMC is a mathematical competition that promotes the teaching of mathematical modeling and applications at all educational levels for all students. It is based on the firm belief that students and teachers need to experience the power of mathematics to help better understand, analyze and solve real world problems outside of mathematics itself – and to do so in realistic contexts.

Each year, teams are given a realistic problem which they need to think of the best solution to. Teams are encouraged to think out of the box and use various mathematical methods to solve the problem as best they can. This year's interesting problem was to create plane boarding and disembarking methods that will be the most time-effective in real life practice. Furthermore, the solution created should be applicable to various plane sizes and models.

Over the course of one week, our team managed to come up with an elegant solution to the problem and impress the judges.

We are pleased to share that the team was awarded the Certificate of Commendation.

Congratulations girls! We hope that you continue to make use of your mathematical ability to give practical solutions for real-life problems.

SLS Avatar Competition 2021

While most students were enjoying their school holidays, Lim Sher Min (S4-4) ventured out of her comfort zone and picked up her digital pen to put her creativity juices to work.

On TikTok, she came across the SLS (Student Learning Space) Avatar Competition organised by the SLS Design and Development Team at MOE.

As President of the Creative Arts Club, Sher Min is no stranger to creating digital designs. She has, however, never digitally drawn an avatar before.

She shared, “I drew an avatar of an explorer as I felt that it best reflects the process of learning, which was the theme I selected. Learning is an adventure that students embark on, exploring new realms and constantly discovering new things. My avatar had a hat and vest, complete with a magnifying glass, symbolising curiosity and a hunger to find out more.”

“I enjoyed my time devoted to drawing and fine tuning my first avatar until I was finally happy to submit it. It was a pleasant surprise when I learnt that I was one of the winners of the competition.”

We rejoice with Sher Min whose avatar was selected as one of the 24 winning designs out of more than 8,500 entries for the competition.

Congratulations Sher Min!

Singapore Remote Sensing Workshop 2021

The inaugural “SG Remote Sensing Workshop: Observing the Earth from Space” was organised by The Office for Space Technology and Industry (OSTIn), Singapore’s national space office. Held from 22 November to 3 December 2021 at NUS, it gave students a hands-on experience with satellite imagery. Participants had to work with students from different schools on an issue and come up with solutions to overcome them. Our students, Ng Meiying and Priscilla Tan (from Secondary 4-4) had the privilege of participating in the programme.

Priscilla was grateful for the opportunity as she “got to interact with different students who shared a common interest in Geography." She was able to learn new skills and was amazed by how far a Geography topic can be extended. As for Meiying, the experience proved to be very fruitful and “if given the opportunity to go again, I would definitely take up the chance".

The group achieved the 'Best Overall' Award! Their teacher-in-charge, Ms Priscilla Lim, shared that the workshop was quite intense and there was a lot of information about statistics that the students had to handle and digest. The girls were open to learning and demonstrated the determination to give of their best despite the challenges they faced.

Our heartiest congratulations to Priscilla and Meiying!

Green Plan Challenge

Amidst the busyness and demands of the year, Rachel Sonsun (S4-4) has shown what it means to “let one’s light shine” through her service to the community during the Green Plan Challenge held at Punggol.

Rachel’s role as a Green Coach was to provide teams with a short introduction about the Treelodge when they arrived at her station situated at Treelodge@Punggol. Following this, they would be required to complete 2 tasks based on her introduction.

Rachel’s willingness to carve out time to serve the community through creating awareness of biodiversity and Singapore’s sustainability efforts is truly inspiring. Rachel’s key takeaway from her participation in this Challenge was that it allowed her to interact with people from various walks of life. She was also gratified to see their eagerness to learn more about their estate. Truly, Rachel’s contribution to the success of this event embodies the St. Margaret’s vision of “a community of learners growing and glowing for God”, and fulfils our school mission of “serving God, the community and the country”.
