Christian Fellowship Nite


The Christian Fellowship had their annual CF nite to mark the end of another year. The club consist of pupils who wish to find a meaning in life through the teachings and guidance of our Lord. Through the dedication of their teachers in charge, Mrs Esther Lian and Mrs Cheang Foong Lan and their ever commited volunteers, the club has done a lot for these pupils in providing them a place to socialise and learn more about themselves. The CF Nite also marks the last day for the P6 pupils and a few volunteers with the club after so many years of service with CF. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours and may God bless their respective journeys.

P5 Camp



Our P5 pupils were unfortunate not to have a 3 day camp in July due to the H1N1 concerns. As such, the school worked very hard to put together a 1 day trip to Jalan Bahtera for a 1 day camp. The weather was not on our side though resulting in all our activities being confined to indoor facilities. We refuse to allow it to dampen our spirits and the kids went on to enjoy a day of bonding and a bit of rock clmbing.

WE ARE CHAMPIONS

Our Junior Hockey Boys have won the National Hockey Championships. The boys played in one of Hockey's most exhilarating finals. St.Andrews Primary put up a brilliant fight to finish the score at 2-2 after the final whistle. Extra Time could not settle the score so the game went to penalties. Our goalkeeper Jun Wei was the hero saving 4 penalties to win the title. We also had great support from 100 supporters who came down to cheer the team on. Check out the video of the students cheers. You can also chec out more pictures at the following website http://picasaweb.google.com/VaiSpeedyGonzales/HockeyNationals?feat=directlink

St.Hilda's last won the Championship in 2006 and we are grateful to God for allowing us the honour to raise the throphy for the glory of the school. All glory to God.

Proud of our Ex-Athletes

St.Hilda's can be proud of our ex-athletes who have performed well on the international stage. The recent AYG and Mens Jr Hockey World Cup showcased our 2 talents in both Sailing and Hockey who have graduated from our school.

Most will be familiar with Darren Choy, who's name is synonymous with the sport, has been appearing in many articles of late. He just won the Gold in his sailing class and really is a true sportsman. He commented recently in the papers about why he didn't just sit out the last race once he realised he had won it already and he replied, "Of course I will race. If I don't, I would be looking down on my competitors. You must not shame your competitors. That is just basic sportsmanship." Spoken in the true spirit of the games.

The Chief Executive Officer of Singapore Sailing Federation Mr Andrew Sanders once commented, “Sailing is about building character.” He believes that these young athletes will be our leaders of tomorrow. “Whether you come first or are further back in the fleet, it’s always about learning. The environment is always throwing you challenges, same as in life, and you need to tackle them, show resilience and come back.

This is what Sailing is about and Mr Vai hopes that St.Hilda's will provide more rising stars in the field of Sailing to join the ranks of Sailors like Sherman Cheng, Daniella Ng, Elizabeth Yin and Darren Choy.

In hockey, Kevin who is now at Raffles Institution, plays goalkeeper for them and got into the school both on his own merit and his Hockey goalkeeping skills. From P4, he was earmarked for great things as a keeper by an ex-goalkeeping legend for Singapore, Mr Ronney, who watched him play during the schools nationals. To date, he was chosen as a reserve keeper for the recent Mens Jr World Cup and will one day be covering those goalpost for the country.

The school is truly proud of these young boys achievements so far. We hope to hear more about other ex-Hildans who will inspire our pupils passing through our gates to dream the impossible dream and live life to the fullest. May God grant them more success.
