International Friendship Day 2011
In celebration of International Friendship Day, activities from different cultures all over the world were planned for students during the MT periods on April 11. PSG volunteers set up craft stations such as Bunga Manggar ( a traditional decoration used in Malay wedding ceremonies), Mehndi (Henna handpainting originating from India), and Origami Windmills and Hearts (the traditional art of paper folding originating from Japan).
Dances originating from Trinidad and the Philippines were popular with the students too. Many showed off their dexterity at the Limbo Dance ( which originated from the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean) where they had fun trying to dancing under the gradually lowered limbo pole. Lasallians had to be quick-footed while trying out the Tinikling, the national dance of the Philippines which involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance.
What a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship !

Commissioning of Catechist
The "Commissioning of Catechist" was a simple yet meaningful blessing by Fr Joachim Chang. The short ceremony held during mass demonstrated our commitment as parent catechists to lead Lasallians in our faith. I personally felt strengthened to spread God's Word confidently. It was a fitting start to the DLSS catechism programme.

Familiarization Tour of DLSS Holding Site at 38 Teck Whye Crescent
The much-anticipated familiarization tour of the Teck Whye Holding Site was held on November 13, 2010. Following a briefing by Mr. Kenny Reyes on 11 December, 2010, PSG members conducted more than 30 tours to close to 1,000 parents on November 13, 2010.
During tours around the rustic, sprawling and tree-lined site, PSG members fielded questions from parents who were eager to get a glimpse into the site where their children would spend the next 2 years. PSG members also collated feedback from parents and channeled them to Mr. Reyes.
By the end of the day, although members had sore, aching feet, we were happy to have served as a bridge between parents and the school !
Taking a breather in between tours.
Armed with tools of the trade.
