Canberra Day

We would like to take the opportunity to thank the NE Ambassadors, teachers and parents volunteers who were there to lend a helping hand at the Endeavour Primary Booth during the Canberra Day on 16th March 2014. Also not forgetting our pupils and parents who had patronized our booth to give us their support. Our booth attracted lots of crowd as the 400 tokens were all given away.

Here are some photos to share with you

2014 "Use Your Hand" campaign

It is really heartening to see our pupils and teachers displaying great enthusiasm in making their classroom clean. Working like busy bees, they wiped dust of windows to make them sparkling clean and swept the classroom diligently. Indeed, everyone of us has a part to play in keeping the classroom clean and most importantly, it was an enjoyable and memorable experience for everybody who participated.

Thank you for supporting the "Use Your Hand" campaign.

"Listen up! Blue group shall be cleaning..."

So, read on to see how you can be rewarded handsomely for being a part of this enriching learning experience!

Do you know how many CCE Core Values are there?
If you do, then do you know what the Core Values are?
And if you do know them, what do these Core Values mean to you?
Do you see any of your friends or anyone displaying any of the six (6) core values?

Now, you can pen down your opinion (no more than 60 words, in English or your own Mother Tongue languages) in the comments section of this post, along with your full name, and your Form Class and stand a chance to be one of the sixty (60) lucky winners to walk away with a mystery present!

Step 1:
Write down your opinion in the comment section.

Step 2:
Write down your Name and your Form Class.

Step 3:
Submit!

That's easy, right? For those students who might need some examples, here's a few:

"When we see any teachers in the school, we must not pretend that we did not see them and just pass them by. Instead, we must greet them. This is to show our respect towards our teachers. This is not only because teachers are older than us and are our elders, but more so because teachers have taught us well and this is one small way to show our appreciation towards them." - Joe Lim (6K)*

"I have seen one of my classmates return a $5 note that she has found in the canteen to the General Office. I am very impressed by her integrity. Although she could have just pocketed it because nobody else would know it, she did the right thing by returning the money. I will want to be like her the next time should I find money on the ground." - Nur Salinah (5H)* 

"Just like what is mentioned in Di Zi Gui （弟子规）, we have to show care to our elders. If not, it will break their heart and it will disgrace them too." - Brad Tan (4J)* 

And one more tip to help you out:

The CCE syllabus focuses on six (6) core values, namely 

• Respect
• Responsibility
• Integrity
• Care
• Resilience
• Harmony

which form the foundation upon which good character is built. These values complement and reinforce Our Shared Values, the Singapore Family Values, the  Singapore 21 Vision and the  National Education messages.

So, there you have it and don't wait anymore to write down your opinion because the Closing Date for this "CCE/VIA In My Own Words" Online Contest will be on Term 2 Week 3, 13th April 2014 (Sunday)!
