Graduation ceremonies are important in St. George’s School as such ceremonies allow the celebration of students whom the school have seen grow in their educational endeavours. It also marks for students a time of change, of progression, and of moving on to a new chapter of their lives.

Undeterred by the COVID-19 situation of last year, St. George’s School held the Kindergarten 3, Year 6 and Year 11 graduation ceremonies for the graduating classes of 2021 on Monday, 26^th September 2022 at the school’s parish hall. The three ceremonies were held at different times of the day as the school is still mindful of seating capacity precautions. As expected, parents eagerly and excitedly attended to witness these milestone events.

In the principal’s remarks, Mr. Janidi Jingan congratulated the graduating students for their determination and hard work throughout the years. The principal also thanked both students and parents for cooperating during the trying year of online learning, and especially for submitting all the necessary papers for the PSR and O Level assessments. Teachers were also appreciated for their painstaking work in ensuring the students get grades they deserved. Mr. Aywen, the Head of Secondary, Madam Alice Ting, the Head of Primary, and Madam Lily Sim, the Head of Kindergarten, also gave their respective word of thanks to students and parents.  

This occasion brought an end yet beginning to the next phase of our graduands’ lives. St. George’s School is proud to have been able to usher our students into the subsequent journey they will embark on in their pursuit of education.

Being leaders in St. George’s School, great opportunities are offered to us to hone various skills such as confidence, teamwork and the commitment to serve others rather than to be served. 

In order to provide meaningful experience, the school organised a leadership training on the 27th of August 2022 for leaders and students with the potential and desire to collaborate with the school in making sure that the school values and ethos are inculcated into the minds of the student body, their fellow St. Georgians.  

The first half of the training was held at Muara Beach, where the students were assigned into groups to carry out ice-breaking and team building activities. A few icebreakers played were Head-Shoulder-Knees and Shoe, the Whisper Challenge, Ping-Pong Move Along and Sandcastle Building. The leaders learnt the importance of working together to achieve goals and to understand each other.

The second half of the training was held in school itself. Our ever-supportive Principal, Mr. Janidi Jingan gave us an inspiring speech about the qualities of a leader as well as the importance of understanding that with great power comes great responsibilities. Also present were our encouraging Students Affairs Officers, Cikgu Apiza and Mr. Eugene along with Ms. Evelyn and Mr. Zul.

We believe that all that we have learnt from the training will not only help us to be effective leaders of the school, but also to be responsible citizens and truly, assets of our own countries since we, the leaders, come from diverse cultural backgrounds and are of different nationalities. 

What we have also now come to understand is that leadership is never a finished product, but rather, it is an ongoing process that needs continuous nurture and refinement. As student leaders, we are thankful that St. George’s School could grant us such an opportunity to further ourselves.

On Thursday 7th of July 2022, St. George's School held the first Parent-Teacher meeting (PTM) of the year for both Primary and Secondary school levels. In conjunction with this meeting, the school launched its Web-App - "SGS App Portal" with a short briefing to demonstrate how to install the app and to reveal the App's Features.

The Web-app was developed by Mr. Nicholas B. Tju, the IT Tech of the school. He saw the need to make handling of school matters more convenient. Hence, he took the initiative to plan and develop the application. The app, which has been used by teachers since October 2021 to take students' attendance during remote learning, saw great success. With this in mind, the school decided to implement the app fully. It is now being used to monitor the daily attendance of students during lessons according to subjects and more features have been added to broaden its capabilities.

The school's IT team gave a briefing to parents/guardians who were present. They were assisted by prefects. Parents/guardians were given a quick tour of the core functions of the app, which includes the checking of school fees, attendance and the uploading of ART results, amongst other things. Teacher Luxman who led the briefing mentioned that more features will be added in due course. It was also revealed during the briefing that the school is already discussing the prospect of adding a feature that allows parents to pay school fees directly from the app. The school hopes that the web application will benefit both parents and teachers alike.
