Our Schools, Our Stories

Our School Community: Junior Category

A school is its people — students, staff, parent volunteers, and partners who all play a part in the same story. Witness the shared moments and everyday collaborations that turn a school, and everyone connected to it, into one extended community.

BEST PHOTO STORY

Our Unique CCA, Green Pixel Club
By Ng Chiao Rae Andrea, Elysse Chew and Tan Ai Li Natalie
CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh)
Teacher Facilitator: Mr Loh Yi Hui

School is more than just academic learning; it is a place where we forge friendships, grow together, and share treasured moments.

In Green Pixel Club, we learn about sustainability, protecting the Earth, and photography. We learnt to make our own paper, build terrariums, and grow vegetables. We also mastered techniques to take better photos, such as the rule of thirds, framing within a frame, and exposure control.

Through our lenses, we capture small moments in nature and in school. These pictures represent our practice, our dedication, and our memories.

HONOURABLE MENTION

Here, You Try

A hand reaches over to help another strike the right key. Someone cheers when the angklung finally makes the right sound. An older student stands beside a junior, showing her fingers where to go on the guzheng.

Nobody laughs when someone gets it wrong. They just try again.
It is not just students either. Someone helps set up the lights just right. A teacher raises a camera and says… “Here, you try!”

Every time someone says, “Let me show you,” something good happens. We stop feeling lost. We start feeling like we belong.

Because every you was once a me, still figuring things out.

HONOURABLE MENTION

Heartbeat of Fernvale

Every school has a heartbeat. Ours has many.

Uncle Hor sweeps the corridors before we arrive, making sure our day starts clean and bright. Mdm Tungga keeps our lost wallets safe, waiting quietly until we find our way back to her. Penny picks up the phone and calls our parents when we need them most. Sally is there before we even finish crying, her hands steady and her voice calm.

Zac pushes a trolley of chairs so our spaces are ready before we even think to ask. Idham makes sure every iPad finds its place, so every one of us finds ours too.

They are the heartbeat of our school.
