To Nanyang With Love - Art Exhibition
The Nanyang Alumni Association, Nanyang Primary and Nanyang Girls’ High School are going to organise a fund raising art event for Nanyang Primary Indoor Sports Hall and other construction projects. The art exhibition will be held at The ARTrium, MICA Building from 25th to 28th March 2010.
Other than having art work for sale at the exhibition, there is also a ‘Birthday Calendar’ available for sale at $50 each. This calendar is not a conventional time-bound calendar. It is one that allows you or your child to note down the birthdays of loved ones. The calendar is filled with lovely graphics and contains pictures of artworks painstakingly created by pupils and teachers of Nanyang Primary school as well as by the Nanyang Schools Alumni Association. As such, this calendar will serve as a precious momento for your child, even after he/she leaves the school.
Below are pictures to provide you with a glimpse of what this ‘Birthday Calendar’ looks like. We really hope you can support us in this fund raising art event by purchasing a copy of the calendar.
To show your support, just fill up the Order Form which will be given together with a letter by tomorrow. Payments to be made by cheque made payable to 'Nanyang Primary School'. Generous donations above the listed price of $50 is most appreciated and we really thank you for your support!

Staff Community Involvement @ Queenstown Hock San Zone
It's New Year for us and it's also our chance to give back to the society. In view of the festive season, our teachers, mostly the P2s and P3s teachers, visited the elderly living in small apartments. These old folks are either living alone or with another elderly flat mate. Most of them are usually living on their CPF monthly allowance or with the help of social services. To 'give' what we can, Nanyang teachers put together our staff contribution of any amount we would like to donate in ANGBAOs and gave these elderly a red packet each when we visited them yesterday. There is always a time to give and share. This is the Nanyang spirit that we are looking at, for both staff and pupils.
Lou Hei 2010
All teaching and non-teaching staff had their Lou Hei in school on 24 Feb 2010. This is Nanyang Primary's tradition every year to wish that we have a smooth year ahead. Our Non-Chinese staff will also do this with us every year and that is when they will start to learn what is "Huat! Huat!" which means Fa Cai in Hokkien.

1st day of camp (25th Jan 2010)
It was the first day of the camp. The P5 pupils were unable to contain their excitement, hence, they started to get noisy from the time they were at the basketball court in the school in the morning. I had a hard time getting them quiet so that the P4s could concentrate on their silent reading. Soon after assembly, the trainers from Innotrek came and they gave some briefing and grouped the children up. Buses came and the children got on excitedly. I went off to fetch the HCI and NYGH big brothers and sisters. They were a fantastic lot. I had a short briefing on the bus so that the camp helpers knew more about NYPS children whom they would see for the next two days.
Upon reaching the camp, the children were assembled at the canteen where they would be having the breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper for the next three days. You could easily feel the anticipation in the children as all they could do was talk. The camp chief of Innotrek and I had a hard time keeping them quiet so that they could take our instructions. After what seemed a long time, the pupils were then brought to their A-huts for boys and dormitories for the girls. Some were happy as they got to sleep with their good friends, some were unhappy. Whatever the happiness or unhappiness, they seemed to get by and got on with the activities.
Objective setting was the first task assigned and the children were to set their team objective for the camp. Then came the lunch when the children had filled up their stomachs with rice, vegetables, chicken wings, fish cakes and wedges of oranges. Wthout much delay after lunch, the teams took turns to do two of the few activities like Hangout, Abseiling, Challenge Valley, Team Building, Rock Climbing, Backwoodsman Cooking etc. This was the first time for most of the pupils to try out high-elements activities. It was a great experience for the pupils, but our 'poor' teachers and camp helpers had to stand in the sun to see to the safety of the pupils. No sunblock or UV lotion was enough to get those harmful rays off the skin of the teachers.
Time flew off when the children had much fun trying out new things. Dinner came. Fish, vegetables, fried wantons, rice and slices of apples were served. Some of the children tried to skip their fruit intake, but teachers wanted them to eat them up for some fibre intake. Soon the children had their shower and song session before they were in for a night's out. Walking under the stars blindfolded with a friend behind was quite a feat. The children were to use their listening skills to listen to sounds so as to find their way around without the help of their eyes was truly a difficult thing to do. Some broke off from their lines, some held on to each other's hands with their 'dear lives'. They managed and succeeded in completing the activity.
After a debrief by the camp chief and our camp commandant, Mr Numa, the children got to have their supper of milo and biscuits. They then rushed back to their sleeping places and I would have guessed that some would be too excited to sleep, while some were 'knocked out' after a day's fun.
