And have I mentioned? CONGRATULATIONS TO CEDAR ATHLETIC TEAM! DOUBLE CHAMPIONS FOR BOTH DIVISIONS!! And yes this has not happened since 1997 :) The year (most of) the sec fours were born! 

Legendary.

It has been an amazing time in the Cedar Prefectorial Board. Though we sec fours may be stepping down now, our leadership journeys do not end here. They last for a lifetime for there is so much to learn!!! We will miss all of you. Thank you for the wonderful experience and memories. :)

PCs, do keep up the hard work and strive together as one blackshoegang to be the best we can be. :) All the best for your upcoming examinations (if any) and see you around school! :)

This may be the last post but here's the first picture the Ex-Co '12-'13 took together just after our Leaders' Investiture last year.

Hi PCs!

I hope you all are enjoying your holidays right now. Jiayou to all those training hard for nationals/SYF! We can do this alright. Remember, CEDAR SOLID!

Despite your busy schedule, I hope you have set aside time for our EXCHANGE WITH VS Prefectorial Board this Saturday, 23rd March. It will be a great experience for you all to learn from one another and in turn improve the way our board runs. Don't treat it as a chore but as an opportunity. It will be worth your time, really.

Remember to submit your attendance to Serena! Plus, many investitures and events/workshops are coming up so keep a look out for them! Meanwhile, treasure the rest of your holidays PCs!

Hey PCs!

CAs are over for most of you right?:) Hope you are all having a good weekend!

Last Wednesday for assembly, it was Student Leaders' Time!!! The issues covered during 4 Focus Group Discussion between the Principal and Vice-Principals with about 60 student leaders were presented and yes there were some solutions provided by the school. :)

For example, the arrangement of a common lunch slot may be extended to other days in school so that students of all levels can meet if necessary  Also, this would allow Cedarians to go home earlier if they do not have other lessons/activities in the afternoon. Yay!:)

Another question was whether we Cedarians could be given opportunities to dress up for a good cause and the answer was yes, so long as we initiated it and the cause is meaningful. This would allow us to express our individualism as well as make the experience purposeful. :) Hinthint, after some feedback from the Cedarians a possible cause could be UNICEF! More to come along the way :) (hopefully)

Another issue was that in the canteen, there were times when there were insufficient seats in the canteen and some Cedarians had to eat while standing or even sit on the floor. More tables and chairs have been added to increase capacity of the canteen. :) Also, the school has considered our proposal to expand eating to other areas in school, mainly the Timbre Deck and at Eating Corners on each level of the classroom block!! However, this will require the co-operation of the whole school in keeping the eating areas clean. We will be given a one month trial to try this out! Aren't you excited? :) Really hope that this will be permanently implemented!

All right that's all for now, see you around PCs! It's the last week of term 1 so have fun! :)

Hey PCs!!

It's smack in the middle of CAs for the Sec 1s - 3s!! Jiayou guys, you can do it! :)

Anyway, some updates on what's been happening at school!

For assembly on Wednesday, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra came and performed for us!! They also taught us about the various chinese instruments such as the guzheng and the pipa! My favourite was the yangqin which is a chinese zither that sounds very beautiful!!

A yangqin!

The SCO performing for us :) lovely music!

T1W7 - Eventful!

Hey PCs! :)

How was the past week for you? :) Hope you all had an enjoyable week with Beyond Classroom Learning on Tuesday!! I did :) We also had another board meeting on Thursday after school, where Mrs Woo shared with us the structure of a PC's Leadership Journey in Cedar, and how the activities and events we carry out help develop us in the 5 Leadership Practices (MICEE)! :) Also not forgetting the VCA Coastal Run on Friday aaaaand the bowling session after that!:)

So glad so many PCs came for the bowling session! We had a great 2 hours bowling and nomming on delicious pies. :) Many thanks to our two teachers in charge Mrs Julia Woo and Ms Carolynn Goh for organising the bowling session for us!!:):)

Important! Morning Assembly Reminders :)

Dear PCs, 

please bring down your classes punctually to the courtyard at 7.20am as teachers have commented that some classes are too slow in coming down:(( please also always use the following routes for morning assembly:

sec 1s - pass the AVT
sec 2s - down the spiral staircase
sec 3s - art room staircase
sec 4s - classroom staircase near the canteen

also please organize your classes in twos immediately upon reaching the courtyard as teachers have commented that Cedarians take too long to organize themselves (aligning to fit 10 classes in the respective levels) and there is often no space.

Thank you PCs!! For doing your duty well :)

Hello PCs!

Xin Nian Kuai Le, Wan Shi Ru Yi! (Sorry, Hariza's posting this so I apologise for any mistakes.) Hope all of you are having a great holiday now. It's time to spend quality time with your extended family, catch up on the past year and forge greater bonds ahead.

As for the CPB family, we sure hope that you will continue striving hard and do your best as a PC so that we can serve the school better. Internal voting was conducted last week and we hope to be able to release the results to you soon. For those of you who had to leave halfway due to electives or third language, do meet the ExCo to finish filling in your voting slips. Do remember that all your votes are confidential.

Once again, have a happy Chinese New Year! :)
