Staff Annual Dinner 2009

Theme : "Back to School"

Venue : Bethel Hall, PHS

On Wed, 25th Nov, the school staff were remembered for their faithfulness and dedication. 

This was also the night where teachers (and principal, admin personnel etc) "let their hair down" and came in school uniforms of PHS, other secondary schools and junior colleges. There was even a Japanese girls' school uniform.

According to some teachers, they borrowed their uniforms from their students, nieces, friends' jc kids...  Some even wore their children's uniforms! This must be an achievement for some teachers because they can still fit into the uniforms!  One is never sure if any student 'sneaked in' as the staff looked like students in their uniforms!

Bethel Hall was appropriately decorated with things reminding us of school - giant pencils, calculators, blackboards and there was a even huge chalk drawing for Hopscotch on the floor. 

Teachers challenged each other in school games like "chaptek", blowing 'sticky bubbles', folding and throwing paper aeroplanes, and guessing song/movie titles, movie characters/actors and actresses, song origins. There was even a contest of guessing which old school/childhood photos matched the teachers.

 The food was excellent - with a good mix of Malay and Chinese dishes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal, eating their satay, naan, mee goreng and munching away their favourite 'kacang puteh'.

One of the main highlights of the evening was the Presentation of Awards which gave due recognition to the various teachers for their faithful service rendered. 

These awards comprised :

- Outstanding Contribution Award

- Innovative and Enterprise Award

- Healthy Lifestyle Award

- School Vision Awards ie Promise-Keeper, Hope-Builder, Servant-Leader

- School Core Values ie Fairness, Integrity, Trust, Teamwork, Steadfastness, Humility, Valuing Individual, Prudence

- Service Excellence Award

It was an enjoyable evening and kudos must be given to the committee for their hard work in organising this event. As the 2009 draws to a close, we are reminded of the FAITHFULNESS OF GOD.

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see

All I have needed Thy Hand hath provided

Great is Thy Faithfulness,

Lord unto me.

For the Lord is good and His Love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalms 100:5

We all look ahead to the new year and draw encouragement from the faithfulness of God as PSG will continue to work closely with Principal and all staff (teachers, admin personnel etc) in 2010.
