UNPLEASANT INCIDENTS IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY

My friend and I have been going to the school library lately to do some self-study. However, we are unhappy about a few incidents which took place recently. I am writing to inform you about the incidents and I hope you will take actions against them.

Firstly, there was once group of students who were rude to the librarians. They talked loudly inside the library. They scolded vulgarities at the librarian when she asked them to keep their volume down. The librarian was angry and reported him to the Discipline Master of his attitude. However, the boy and his companion ignored it and continued to disturb. I seriously suggest that these group of ill-mannered students should be heavily punished for their behaviour towards the librarians.

Next, some students broke the library rules. They sneaked food in and spilled their drinks onto the table. The sweet drinks invited ants to come in and it made the table sticky. It made us hopeless to study there as the library was dirty. I personally think that library rules should be stricted and I hope to not witness these kind of issues in future.

There was also a boy who wore his PE attire into the library. He was soaked in perspiration. He should not have been allowed to come in as it was not healthy for him and for the sake of the rest of the users in library of causing bad odour. I think that students should change to their school uniform and ensure that they are not perspiring and sweating.

Another case, there was also another group of students playing games on the computers for a very long time. They played games for hours. The computers should be use regularly and not be misused. These kind of cases should be restricted for students.

I hope these issues will be handled seriously and the students involved should be caught and gave a lesson. We are also looking forward to the peace and a suitable environment in the library to continue our studies.

Yours sincerely,

Fellix

As our school progressing with impression of pride which is our school current values . Perserverance , Respect , Integrity , Dedication and Exellence.

3.Share a story about your school/CCA . It can be funny ones , successful ones and difficult ones.

The first day i joined Red Cross Youth as my CCA , i find it tough to learn the commands at the first time . We faced hardships and happiness together , whenever we found happiness , we shared it together. Likewise, we helped each other of their difficulties and gave them help.

Together , one for all and all for one. There is one day when i was supposed to attend the training regularly but i was late. Thus , i received my punishment and did pumpings. I lightly injured my ankle but with my friend 's assistance , i was abled to go through. That time I learnt my lesson for punctuality.

4.Have the stories you heard from your classmates changed the way you view/feel about your school?

I do. I remembered one my friends told me that this is a gangster school and advised me to better not finding any trouble. However , even though my school maybe not as good as other school is , I still find it ok as it is my school.

Sports Fiesta 2010

It was one of the school important events , the Sport Fiesta Day. At 6 A.M. , I rushed over to the busstop and took a bus to the place where the day was going to be held , Serangoon Stadium.

As this was my first time going to the stadium , I had difficulty of going there. Thus , I often gave my friend messages of the direction and called them for the way. Unluckily , I was in the half way talk to my friend who was giving me the way but my phone went off. Then , I regretted myself of forgetting to charge my phone battery.

However, somehow i managed to get through the front gate. The moment I reached there , a lot of students with their respective house names and colours on their PE Shirt assembled on a large grass field . Happily chit - chatting while teachers were taking their attendence was what I witnessed of a lot of students , especially girls.

After singing the national anthem and pledgeging , all of the students went to their respective house area and sat with their "housemates" . As for me and those Red Cross cadets were ordered to stay at the base . In purpose , for the immediate action and stand by for the casuallities happened for the day.

As each cadets was told to patrol around the game field including me , it was to ensure that the casuallities happen through the game will be immediately settled at the spot with the first aid or decided to be carried to the base for further treatment.

As the days went smoothly , everyone was enjoying the triumph of winning. My own house , Terrus which was the lousiest house everyear had won the Captain's Ball. I was totally suprised and glad for my own house that at least they had something to be special of.

Casuality by casuality , i experienced more things of aid applying and the actions needed at the spot.

At the end of the day, the results of the house champion was announced. The house champion for the Sports Fiesta 2010 was Pyros, followed by Hydros, Aeros , Voltus and Terrus. Some were cheering triumphly and some were feeling disheartened and discontented. As for me , I would not blame my house to be in the last position . Well ,at least they had done their best for their performance and their willing to win , hadn't they?

I quite enjoyed myself for the day and hoped that Terrus would do better for the next Sports Fiesta. We may not be the best , but we considered of how much effort we had put in.

Annual Cross Country

It was the Annual Cross Country which was held in my school, Chong Boon Sec.

At that day , I was separated from my classmates because of my CCA duty , Red Cross Youth.

At 9 P.M. Sharp , everyone gathered at the big tree in MacRitchie Reservoir Park. After singing the national anthem , the red cross team and myself went to the location and began setting up the base.There, I learnt and had an experience of handling casualities and the way of applying first aid kit for simple injuries.

I recalled how fun it was.The alerntness of the people who carried their injured friend or strecher needed for serious injury. Although I was different from others of what i was doing, i was still proud of it.

I saw my classmates joined the race and some won the throphies. Visnu as the first runner and Jenarth as the tenth runner for lower secondary boys category. I was proud of their achievement and happy for them at the same time. In addition , we also had Xin Yi, the fourth runner for lower secondary girls category. I was happy for all of them. They had done a good job.

I was quite enjoying myself with the rest of the teammates that day. I still remembered when one of my friend tried to feed the monkeys and disturbed them which was quite foolish as it was not supposed to do. I also bought some drinks from the stall there which was also organized by other CCA , Concert Band. I heard they were selling drinks for donations.

Although this was my first time joining the Cross Country event. I would say it was fun and looking forward to it again.
