Live from Jurong Country Club with our Golfers

St.Hilda's Primary has never had Golf as an official sport. This year however, the school decided to help some pupils who were interested in representing the school in Golf at the National Golf Championships. The 3 pupils involved here at Jurong Country Club are Dyeo Xiao En, Dev Bahl and Natalie Teo. All of them have got a high enough handicap in their game to allow them to participate at this year's championship.
The school is looking at ways it can support the pupils by registering them for competitions and providing teachers to accompany them for such tournaments. We have already explored this concept with Swimming and the various parents are positive that they can help with providing the school with support in terms of transport, food,etc. If this concept works, the school may look at other sports that may be willing to adopt such an arrangement in the future.

The three of them train on their own with professional coaches at various clubs. They are still playing at this moment so results will be posted later on the day. Do keep them in prayer.

Our Shuttlers come in 4th

Congrats to our badminton players who came in 4th at the East Zone Tournament. They played valiantly and finish the competition with their heads held high. Their performance was an achievement given the limited resources availed to them. Their coaches and teachers in charge did a great job preparing the kids for the competition. Much credit should also go to the supportive parents who have been sending their kids for extra trainings wherever they can. We wish them all the best in their next competiton at the Nationals. Back to training boys!

Hockey does the double this week

EAST ZONE CHAMPS

Our hockey boys did the double this week. They started the week playing in the East Zone competition. Over 2 days they played 5 schools and emerged Champions. The team comprised of P4 and P5 boys and every boy did their job to win the title for the school.

On Saturday, we sent 2 teams to participate in the Hockey One Tournament. 22 teams turned up and they played in 2 main categories. Our boys were playing both the U-10 and U-11 games with P4 and P5 players forming the 2 age groups respectively. The P5s won their group and went home with another addition to their trophy cabinet. Many of the boys learnt some new things about their game. We hope the experience at these competitions will provide them with more confidence and self belief in their own skills.

Golf makes its debut

Golf is not a CCA yet at SHPS but our school has decided to support a few golfers at their attempt to participate against other schools at the 2nd PC Golf Tournament last Wednesday at Sembawang Country Club. After observing some our golfers , I must say they can really hold their own. Looking very professional in their golf outfits and lugging their golf clubs around, they played 9 holes and 5 holes depending on their categories. We have 2 golfers who play with a handicap which really speaks volumes for their skill level. We are looking forward to their future participation at the Nationals this July.

Art Masterpiece

Our school has won a Gold at the recent Singapre Youth Festival Arts Competition. The winning piece was created by
1)Mahirah Bte Abdul Latiff (4/10)
2)Shermaine Ng Shihui (4/9)
3)Samantha Grace Chen Su Syan (4/10)
4)Sky Chan Si En (4/3)

We celebrate their success and thank them again for bringing more glory to the school. The Art teachers who guided them through their weekly club activities should be commended for all the hard work over the last year.

Rope Skipping Boys are National Champions!

We have been blessed again with a great result at the recent Rope Skipping Nationals. Our Senior boys won the overall Senior Boys title. This team started small last year and has grown to a very competitive and discipline unit in the last year. Under the charge of Ms Goh Yen Ping and Mrs Noeline Wong, our team has won many accolades at the East Zone and now the Nationals. We salute the pupils who have worked very hard during the holidays and sacrificed their time to bring glory to the school. Pictures will be available soon.

Netball Girls put up a great show!

Our Netball girls finish the East Zone Tournament with a pulsating final against Fengshan and Tanjong Katong yesterday. Both teams finish in second place after 3 weeks of competition. The Jr finals played against Fengshan finished 29-11. They were clearly the better team but our girls have done us proud by beating TKPS in the semis and reaching the finals this year.

Our Senior girls gave TKPS a hard fight all the way to the end. It was all square after the 3rd quarter which showed how much our girls have improved over the last 3 months. The last time these 2 teams met, they won 32-10. This time our girls manage to complete the game with a score 21-17. We salute the girls for the most exciting finals for a long time. We wish them all the best for the Nationals and hope to meet the same two teams again. A big thank you to Mr Zanizam and Mr Aloysius who trained the team on their own. Truly dedicated teachers! We also like to thank all the supporters who came down. It was also a first time the whole steering committee took time off from their busy meetings to come down and support the teams. To God be the Glory!!
