Screaming. Crying. Cheering. A cacophony of
sounds filled the school hall. It was the 28th of February-the
day that the ‘O’ Level results were going to be
released.
It started off with Miss Elaine Lim, our principal, who gave
a very motivating and inspirational speech. She spoke about
Dreaming of high target
Believing in oneself
Acting consistently
Working hard
Team - positively influencing one another and persevering
Achievement and excellence in orientation
Then the time came for the results to be given out. The first
sound that broke the tension in the hall was
'I passed my Chinese!’
Yeah!
And we, journalists, got cracking.
‘I’m very happy for the sec 4’s and sec
5’s who have done well, as most of them have. The results
have been very good and Fairfield is back where it should
be. It is very heart-warming for me as well as for all the
teachers to see the students being so satisfied with what
they have achieved. The students worked very hard with their
teachers and therefore they excelled.’ – said
Miss Lim.
The crux of her message to the sec 4’s and 5’s
is:
‘Dream big but work hand in hand with your teachers
to achieve your goals. Whatever time you spent on your studies
will make a difference. Believe in yourself and in your goal
and work towards it. Your classmates create a world of difference
as they can influence you to achieve your fullest potential.’
We interviewed the top Express student, Joanne He Xiu Wen
from secondary 4A, and the top student from the Normal Academic
Stream, Fang Pei Shan from 5A.
