A Day in the Garden eBook Competition - 3rd Place

Immediately after the teachers' day concert, we moved off to the Singapore Botanical Gardens for "A Day in the Gardens" eBook competition award presentation. Earlier this year, 6 students from Media Club came back during the June Holidays to produce their eBooks.

I am happy to announced that Aiman Faiz from 2E1 won 3rd in the secondary school category! Congratulations to Aiman! The rest of the students each received a merit award and a letter of participation.

Take a look at their work:



After the award presentation, we were given a tour to the cultivation lab, exhibition, library and the herbarium and then a small tea reception.The competition has concluded. Thank You for the participation and looking forward to more active participation next year!

New Photo Blog @ Damai

Hi all,

I've created a space on Microsoft Live to share some photographs taken by me and our media club photographers. Some students have been asking for them and I feel that this is one of the better places to share pictures.

Here's the link: http://damaimedia.spaces.live.com/

Please spread the word and have everyone check the website out!!!
