A fact to know...

I'm sure all students agree with this.

Parent HugS 3 - Old Chang Kee curry puffs, 25th Aug 2010

There was no mistaking my excitement when I saw a bright and cheery, orange vehicle parked outside the canteen.  It was Old Chang Kee Mobile Kitchen! 

When parents arrived, the Mobile Kitchen assistants were already busy frying the curry puffs and packing them in the handy paper bags.

In no time at all, we were pleasantly surprised that the 1,500 curry puffs for the students, were almost ready, in time for recess.

The curry puffs were laid out neatly at the serving counter, with parents waiting for the arrival of the first students.

The students were clearly excited by the appearance of the Mobile Kitchen, and they eagerly came forward without much coaxing.

A few parents were on hand to guide them, and to stamp our "Parent HugS" mark on the students' hands as a mark of collection.

Collection was in a very orderly fashion

. 

Can we have another one?

Muslim students who were fasting, were not forgotten, and sufficient curry puffs were set aside for them to eat when they break their fast in the evening.

Parents were very touched when 2 classes, 1 Blessing and  1 Endurance presented ther thanks in little art-work as tokens of their appreciation, as well as 2 Faith for their "heart" tokens for each parent present, made out of clear drinking straws.

Your little "thank-yous" were clearly from your hearts.

 

 

 

 

The Beautiful Vision

As the beauty of Christ's life and character glows before us in the light of the Gospels, we should say, "That is what I am to be some day.  I am yet very far from it, but I am to reach it.  That is my destiny."  Such a hope cherished in the heart has a wondrous uplifting power.  Since we are to be some day like Christ, we should grow every day in grace : we should be  getting ever a little more like Christ in feeling, in temper, in disposition, in affection;   our aim should be to bring every thought and emotion and desire into sweet subjection to Christ.  We should not only cherish this blessed vision, but should seek daily to grow into its divine beauty.

Powderful Engrish - Take note!

Hopefully our students will not make these English grammar and vocabulary mistakes. Here are some of them. Simply hilarious!

Not Just Pencils!

I marvelled at the talents that God has given us, and how we can glorify and give thanks to Him!

Take a look at these pictures, and read the words at the end of the post.

A pencil maker told the pencil 5 important lessons, just before putting it in the box,

1.  Everything you do will always leave a mark.

2. You can always correct the mistakes you make.

3. What is important is what is inside you.

4. In life, you will undergo painful sharpenings,
   which will only make you better.

5. To be the best pencil, you must allow yourself
   to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

We all need to be constantly sharpened.

It is hoped that this little illustration may encourage us to know that we are all special persons, each with unique God-given talents and abilities. Only we can fulfill the purpose which we were born to accomplish.

We must never allow ourselves to get discouraged and think that our lives are insignificant and cannot be changed. Like the pencil, we must always remember that the most important part of who we are is what is inside us and then allow ourselves to be guided by the Hand of God.

The vessel . . . was marred . . . so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.  (Jeremiah 18:4)

I do not understand, Lord,

But one day I will see

Your loving Hand was taking pains

To mould and fashion me.

Thanksgiving & Honours Night cum 45th Anniversary celebrations

Date : 30th July, 2010

Once again, we gave thanks for God's Providence and honoured those who gave their years of service to PHS. 

There were dance, band, chinese orchestra and choir performances by the students.
It was also the night we presented awards to students who have achieved academic excellence in PHS.

PSG members were invited to the event and to witness the presentation of the Long-Service Award to our PSG member, Ms Wendy Yang.  Congrats, Wendy!

Dinner
After the Thanksgiving event, we had a sumptuous dinner at the Canteen, which was totally transformed by hanging drapes over the canteen stalls. What a clever idea!

It was a special dinner, as former PSG Committee members were also invited. You can say it was a reunion -  an opportunity to "catch-up". Agnes Chan, Elder Sherman Ong, Rose Tan, Jimmy Quah, Bernard and Jacinta Michael were present.

Teachers specially wore ethnic costumes for this occasion.  There were "cheong-sams", punjabi outfits etc.  There was even "dinner-music" to accompany our dinner experience!
