Importance of reading

Recycling

Recycling involves processing used materials into new products in order to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.[1][2] Recycling is a key component of modern waste management and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" waste hierarchy.
Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste – such as food or garden waste – is not typically considered recycling.[2] Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing.
In a strict sense, recycling of a material would produce a fresh supply of the same material, for example used office paper to more office paper, or used foamed polystyrene to more polystyrene. However, this is often difficult or too expensive (compared with producing the same product from raw materials or other sources), so "recycling" of many products or materials involves their reuse in producing different materials (e.g., cardboard) instead. Another form of recycling is the salvage of certain materials from complex products, either due to their intrinsic value (e.g., lead from car batteries, or gold from computer components), or due to their hazardous nature (e.g., removal and reuse of mercury from various items).
Critics of recycling claim that it often wastes more resources than it saves, especially in cases where it is mandated by the government. Note here that municipal recycling may nevertheless still be worthwhile if the net cost is less than the landfill or other disposal costs for the same amount of material.

Vision, Mission & Values

Our School's Vision is "A School of Distinction Nurturing Future-Ready Citizens of Character"

School Mission - "Providing Quality education to equip pupils with the Values, Knowledge and Skilss for the 21st centrury.

There are Six Core Values -
1) Self Discipline
2) Passion for Learning
3) Intergrity
4) Courage
5) Excellence
6) Sincerity

You need courage to own up for your mistakes. I also had the courage to participate in aquathlons because my teachers build courage in me to try it.
Self discipline helps to achieve our goals.

Festivals

I am a Christian and celebrate Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. I look forward to Christmas because I get lots & lots of presents and "ang pow".
Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ who is God's son. It reminds us of how much God loved us to allow HIS son to be born into this world as a baby to suffer and die for our many sins.
GoodFriday is celebrated to remind us of Christ suffering and death on the cross to save us from our sins.
Easter is the day Christ rose from the dead and showing us there is eternal life in heaven after death.

I know the Hindus celebrate Deepavali and many other festivals like Thaipusam and Pongal. The muslims celebrate Hari Raya Puasa & Hari Raya Haji. The Chinese celebrate Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival. The Budhist celebrate Vesak Day.

Most of theses festival does create racial harmony. It helps us to respect and appreciate other races festivals.

Earth Hour

Earth hour aims to get as many people from all over the world to switch off the lights for 60mins on 28 Mar at Singapore time 8.30pm.

This will help is some small way to save the earth from climate changes.

People want to save the earth.

Some people will be going out with their families & friends. In some countries like Paris will swithc off all lights including the Eiffel tower during the earth hour.

My family and friends will be watching the city lights go off from my home and have candle dinner at home.

Earth is facing air, sea & land pollution and global warming.

Solution to Land Pollution

Do Not litter as it will make the world bitter

Use things which can be recycled

Buy eco-friendly items like energy saving aircon, energy saving lights.


I'm sure we can all do our part to save the world by taking part during the earth hour and conserve energy at all times.
