English Masters 2016On 13 August 2016, RSS sent 12 teams to participate in
the challenging English Masters 2016 held at Bedok Community Centre where they competed in the areas of language skills against other Primary 5 and 6 students in Singapore.
In our inaugural participation, one of the RSS teams did the school proud by emerging 2nd Runner Up in the competition. The team won a trophy each and $200 in cash, after a tie-breaker session with Nanyang Primary School. The team comprised Chew Han Lin, Valerie Chua Yu Jia, Er Zhi Xin and Chin Li Wen, all of whom are from 6 Care.

Nonetheless, I have all the reasons to be confident because character building forms the core beliefs and tenets of the teaching profession, be it in primary, secondary or tertiary.
That is why at RSS, we place a premium in nurturing the whole child. The child is at the centre of learning. Our beliefs about a child and how he learns guide us to help him be the best that he can be. Schools are institutions of learning and crucibles of socialisation. Character and Citizenship Education, therefore, provides the moral compass for students to develop characters anchored on strong values guided by an ethos of discipline, care and concern for self, family, friends and the community at large.
Recently, at the MOE Work Plan Seminar, Acting Minister for Education (Schools) Mr Ng Chee Meng also spoke about the importance of helping our students experience the joy of learning, to nurture an intrinsic motivation towards learning in every student. Scoring well in school examinations is important, but it should not be the end-goal of learning. Rather, learning is a lifelong journey of exploration and discovery, where one experiences deep personal fulfilment from acquiring new knowledge and skills.
I cannot help but to add that a deep sense of personal fulfilment from acquiring new knowledge and skills can indeed take one to greater heights in realising one’s dream and passion; and this may not necessarily be achieved through scoring well in examinations.
Great things happen because people dream!
Mrs Jenny LeongPrincipal By the end of 6 years of Primary School education, students should be equipped
with the following 21st Century Competencies based on our Mission
使命:培养勤于学习、善于沟通、乐于奉献的公民和精益求精的引领者

It has always been my dream that every child who passes through our hands at RSS will be able to exhibit
the values of Care, Magnanimity, Respect, Honesty, Resilience, Responsibility, Helpfulness, Leadership and Teamwork exemplified by our Three Littles: Little Friend, Little Master and Little Teacher, even after they leave RSS.
As the Chinese idiom ‘十年树木,百年树人’ says, it takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate a person.

the plants in the butterfly enclosure, the
surrounding plants near the enclosure, the
challenges of sustaining the growth of flowers
in the enclosure and the mini nursery where
they had to nurture young plants that could
be transplanted elsewhere in the school. The
school received the CIB Educational Institutions

Infocomm Development Authority (IDA)Lab on Wheels
RSS welcomed two Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) Lab on Wheels buses on campus on 3 and 4 August 2016. The mobile platform is retrofitted from a 40-seater bus that houses technology that is both engaging and fun to learn. With the help of the industry partners, the school hopes to ignite the young’s passion for technology through experiential activities such as coding through Minecraft!
Code For Fun
As Singapore works towards building
a smart nation to harness technology
to the fullest, RSS is getting our P5
students ready by exposing them to
coding during school-based enrichment.
The skills that students picked up
from the coding sessions will go far in
preparing them to be future ready for
the many demands as students have
to persevere in finding a solution to
different problems that may arise along
the way. Students got a taste of how
to run and write Scratch program. They
dragged blocks from the block palette
and attached them to other blocks like
a jigsaw puzzle to command the Moway
robot around.
P4 Chinese Culture and Leadership Adventure Camp
The P4 Chinese Culture and Leadership Adventure Camp 2016 brought students through a journey of self exploration in the best classroom - closer to nature and into the great outdoors. Blessed with fine weather for most parts of the camp, students had the opportunity to challenge themselves and overcome their fears.

National Day Celebration 2016The theme for this year National Day Parade (NDP) is Building Our Singapore of Tomorrow where efforts
in nation building continue to journey with hard work towards realising our dreams in building our future together.
We celebrated 51st National Day - the 1st year for the next 50 years in our journey towards SG100, on 8 August 2016 with an array of activities in the hall and classrooms. The celebration was marked with the Observance Ceremony, community singing, RSS Talents and quiz held in the classrooms. This year’s NDP theme song ‘Tomorrow’s Here Today’ was clearly the hot favourite amongst the champions of both the junior and senior categories of RSS Talents, a talent competition organised in conjunction with the National Day celebration. Well done, RSS students, for the patriotic showcase of your unique edition of ‘Building Our Singapore of Tomorrow’!

This is the list of our Executive Members 2016 - 2017:
Children’s Day
We celebrated Children’s Day on 6 October 2016 with the theme, ‘Thinking Of Others’. For this year, celebrations started earlier for the students as recess activities were introduced. The most action came from the game station ‘Gotta Catch Them All’ as students collected stamps by aiming and throwing beanbags at cartoon characters. After they had successfully received all three stamps from the various stations set up around school, the students redeemed a prize from a variety of items given. Many enjoyed the recess activities, smiling from ear to ear. The celebrations then continued in the hall with more games and a skit and dance by the teachers. The students were at an all time high. The hall celebrations ended with video messages from the school leaders, teachers and school staff to the students, wishing them a Happy Children’s Day!
Watch me aim, throw and score!
Look at me designing my badge!
So many badges made by the students…
My very own badge!
Yipee! We collected all three stamps.

Strengthening Positive
Teacher-Student Relationship
Workshop
Building positive teacher-student relationship is important to
create a positive impact on the students in the classroom.
In order to strengthen positive teacher-student relationship, on
24 June 2016, two trainers from the Centre for Social-Emotional
Learning conducted a workshop and shared with the teachers the
importance of positive teacher-student relationship and how to
overcome challenges to build positive teacher-student relationship.
It was an engaging session and through the real-life examples and
practical strategies shared, teachers’ learning was invaluable and
they were more aware of the important role they play.
Towards A More Inclusive School - Special Needs Workshop
RSS teachers and school leaders attended a Special Needs Workshop on 1 June 2016, organised by AED LBS Miss Uma Sivalingam and Miss Nuraini Nordin.
The workshop had four different segments that helped teachers to:1) engage students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in the classroom, by understanding the characteristics of this disorder, the way the students learn and think best which will help teachers modify the way they interact and teach these students2) understand how to incorporate movement, play and exercise to increase the chance of managing students with attention issues better and to improve students’ learning and behaviour in the classroom
3) understand the learning needs of dyslexia better and how they can help their students with this learning condition cope better with the mainstream curriculum4) reflect whether their students with Special Educational Needs are coping with the current standard curriculum and what the dos and don’ts that they need to take note of when working with Special Educational Needs students

P1 Parent Engagement - New PSLE Scoring
System in 2021A STEP TOWARDS HOLISTIC EDUCATION
On 13 July 2016, MOE announced the changes to PSLE scoring and Secondary One (S1) posting,
which will be implemented for the 2021 PSLE cohort (i.e. P1 students in 2016). The changes are a
part of a broader shift away from an excessive focus on academic results towards a holistic education.
A total of 98 parents turned up for the engagement session held in RSS by our school leaders on
27 August 2016. The main objectives of the engagement session are to help parents understand the
changes to the PSLE scoring and S1 posting and provide a platform for them to provide their feedback.
The PSLE changes alone will not be enough. All of us - educators, parents and the community-at-large - need
to play our part in making this paradigm shift to free up time and space for holistic education. Let us
work together to write the next chapter of this story.

Racial Harmony Day - Eurasian Culture
The theme for this year’s Racial Harmony Day (RHD) is ‘Our Cultural Heritage’. RHD is commemorated annually
on 21 July 2016 to remind us of the Racial Riots that took place in 1964 and concerted efforts are needed to
preserve the racial harmony we enjoy today.
In our belief in educating our students and preparing them to be a Little Friend who appreciates the cultural
differences we celebrate in our unique society make-up, we focus on the Eurasian Culture to better understand
this unique culture.
NE Committee had planned and implemented interesting and educational programmes and activities that sought
to create greater awareness of the unique culture of the local Eurasian community in Singapore.
Together with parent helpers from Parent Support Group, our teachers took on the role as Station Masters. They
shared with all our students in great details the historical background, cultural and customary practices that our
Eurasian friends have. Students had the opportunities to try out the traditional games that reflect the cultural
cohesion we share in Singapore.

Teachers’ Day
Celebration
Every RSS Teacher is a Gardener, they
grow seeds that grow forever.
In celebration of Teachers’ Day this year, the P5
Prefects worked tirelessly over a period of more
than two months to plan and prepare the concert,
decorations and gifts. This year, the Prefects also
collected messages from the students during
recesses so that all the students in RSS could
express their appreciation for their wonderful
teachers. All their effort was worthwhile as
everyone had a meaningful and memorable
Teachers’ Day Celebration.
