🪪 A Major Milestone: Secondary 3 NRIC Ceremony 2026! 🇸🇬

On 13 May, our Secondary 3 students marked a significant milestone on their journey to adulthood as they officially received their National Registration Identity Cards (NRICs)! 🎉✨

Through an engaging presentation and an interactive quiz, our students delved into the history, deep significance, and important responsibilities that come with holding an NRIC. More than just a piece of plastic, the NRIC symbolizes our identity as Singaporeans and serves as a powerful reminder of our shared role in building and contributing to our nation. 🏢❤️

We hope that our Andersonians will carry this new milestone with a strong sense of responsibility, active citizenship, and immense pride in being part of Singapore! 🦅🌟

📌 A Friendly Reminder for all NRIC holders: Keep your NRIC safe and never share your NRIC details unnecessarily. Always protect your personal information and use your identity card responsibly! 🔒👀

🌱✨ Ground-up ideas. Shared hearts. Collective growth. ✨🌱

What started as a ground-up Professional Learning Community (PLC) project amongst colleagues has since grown into opportunities for wider sharing and learning together across the education fraternity. 😊

On 21 May, our teachers, Ms Khoo Poh Leng, Ms Petrina Wong and Mr Don Eu, facilitated an experiential workshop, “Infusing CCE into English Language Classroom Discussions”, with passionate educators from diverse contexts, including NIE student-teachers, SPED schools, mainstream schools and IP schools. 🏫🤝

Designed as an issue discussion lesson, participants stepped into the shoes of students 👟 and experienced first-hand how contemporary issues can be used to spark thoughtful conversations, critical thinking, and values-based discussions.

Through the workshop, participants explored:
💭 How students form responses to discussion prompts
🗣️ Ways to facilitate deeper classroom dialogue using Clarify–Sensitise–Influence questioning
🧩 The use of the Context–Dimension Frame and 21CC framework
📚 How CCE and 21CC can be meaningfully infused across academic subjects — including English Language and beyond

We are thankful for the rich conversations, openness and spirit of collegial sharing throughout the session. 💛

Learning truly becomes richer when educators come together with an abundance mindset - sharing practices generously, learning from one another, and growing together for the good of our students. 🌿✨

📚🌏 H for Humanities, H for History! ✨

Our Secondary 4 History students had the enriching opportunity to attend a mini-lecture by Dr Effendy, Senior Lecturer from NUS 🎓.

Through his impactful and insightful sharing, Dr Effendy explored the Vietnam War through the lenses of Geography 🌍, History 📖, and Politics 🏛️, helping students gain a deeper understanding of both the course and aftermath of the conflict.

Students also had the chance to engage Dr Effendy during a lively Q&A session ❓💡, where they asked thoughtful questions and deepened their understanding of the topic further.

A meaningful and inspiring learning experience for our budding historians 🧠✨!

💼✨ Learning Beyond the Classroom with NFTE
