Passing out Parade
Please note that our Sec 4/5 passing out parade is on the 25th July 2008. At the same time, we will also be having our enrolment ceremony.
After much deliberation, both Ms Geja and myself do not agree to letting our girl guides stay overnight in our school for POP(staying over is exceptional to camping purposes only). Both Ms Geja and Ms Chan have other commitments on 25th July as well, so there will not be any teachers around to stay with you.
However, please do not let this dampen your spirits for POP! Let's us thank our seniors for all their contributions to GG so far and show them our utmost appreciation!

West Division Day Photos, Updates on National Day, Guides Meeting and NYAA
West Divison Day 2008
(Picture in Xingyi's hp)
Ms Geja and Ms Chan are very pleased with us girls during the West Division Day. We saw all the girls putting in their very best in all the competitions that we have participated. Although we didnt manage to clinch any prizes at the end of the day, we felt that the process was very rewarding.
Sometimes, it is not the product that is important but the process. We have put together a musical item for the talentime through rounds and rounds of practice and hardwork. At the end of the day, we lost the trophy but Huimin knows how to play er-hu, GenNa plays solo on stage and EeNexx knows how to play a new song with the "Merlion".
The Sandwich making group knows how to make and decorate their dish beautifully...
The craft group made a great pair of comfortable slippers which Jolene wore it all the way back home...
The gadget group made the firmest chair ever!! Using physics laws that they have learnt! :)
(Picture in Xingyi's hp)
The card making group make a beautiful card out of recycled materials!
(Picture in Minyi's or Felicia's and Elina's hp)
Not forgetting the team which helps us run the fashion parade show smoothly!! (Nice music by HuiMing's group! And great Emcee by Christina!)
Great Job GIRLS! It is a day for us to remember!
