Dear Parents,

In today’s world, our young are so digitally savvy that they are

more vulnerable to various forms of influences.

It is, therefore, important to instil good moral values in our girls

to give them positive directions and the means to live their

lives to the best of their abilities. Our moral values form the

foundation on which our character develops. Our girls look

towards us as we model the good moral values for them to

grasp and develop their own sense of what is right and wrong.

At Kellock, we have our very own set of Values — GIR3L —

Graciousness, Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Resilience

and Love. These values are easily remembered by our girls.

While the values are easy to recite, inculcating them can be

a challenge.

With the varied programmes such as Values Education,

Citizen & Character Education, Camps for Life and CCA

carried out at Kellock, we hope to instil in our girls a deep

sense of commitment to the values. Through these many

experiences, our girls will be inspired to have a sense of

humanism, i.e. a deep concern for the well-being of friends,

love for the school and nation.

Together with the values inculcated at home, the Kellock

values form the moral compass for our girls when they are

faced with difficulties and when they have to resolve conflict.

Indeed, translating these values into words and deeds is not

so easy.

However, we are proud to have witnessed the Kellock spirit, the resilience and relentless pursuit of excellence in our performers and school athletes, the selflessness of the teachers and instructors, the bravery and enthusiasm of our girls to give their best and challenge themselves even further at the biennial Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Arts presentation and at the Zonal and National Sporting events this year.

Thank you girls for sharing your talents and gifts and living up to the saying of our Founder, Blessed

Nicolas Barre:

“The Gifts Given to you are for Others.”

Mrs Christina Manuel Vice-Principal 1

2.2 Parent-Teacher-Child Conference (PTCC) “Students’ confidence, coupled with the evidence they share (on their learning and reflections),

helps parents believe in their children’s ability to succeed in school, which in turn influences

students’ expectations for themselves. In addition, when students describe what they are

learning, where they have succeeded, and where they are struggling, parents are better

equipped to support learning at home.”

~ Chappuis, 2015, p. 292

This year, Kellock introduced PTCC for Primary 1, 5 and 6 levels, a tripartite communication

structure which involved the student, parent and teacher. The PTCC provided both teachers and

parents with insights into the student’s thoughts and feelings about their learning and a better

understanding of her holistic development, strengths, areas for improvement and how she can be

better supported in her learning and development.

During the PTCC, besides Form Teacher’s sharing on students’ cognitive development, the

students who were present, together with their parents, became active participants. Students

were provided with the platform to communicate and demonstrate their learning experiences;

5

knowledge, skills and values acquired to their parents. We believe that students should have a

voice in the learning process. The PTCC is also part of the school’s efforts to develop our students

to be self-directed and reflective learners who take ownership of their learning.

For Primary 1, students led a sharing on their learning in English/Mathematics with their parents.

They also had the opportunity to communicate their strengths and areas for improvement in the

development of social and organisational skills.

The Primary 5 and 6 students took responsibility for their learning by addressing their learning

targets and goals: ‘Where do I want to go?’, ‘Where am I now?’ and ‘How do I get there?’. Students

shared on their achievements against the targets set at the beginning of the year, their reflections

and learning plans with their Parents and Form Teachers. Prior to the PTCC session, Primary 5

and Primary 6 students carried out a student-led sharing at home with the parents on their learning

and reflection in ‘Digital Music Programme’ and at ‘Sungei Buloh Learning Journey’ respectively.

3. Voices of Our Heads of Department

3.1 Student Management Department

Student Leadership @ Kellock

In CHIJ Kellock, we believe that every student has the potential to be developed as a leader

because each child has her own unique abilities and talents. We do it through the ONE (Offer,

Nurture, Excel) approach.

At the Offer level, all students are provided with the platform to learn the principles of leadership

via the Leadership 101 package. This is premised on the belief that every student can lead and

make a difference through ways which they can contribute. Opportunities are then provided

through class leadership roles for students to apply the skills they have learnt from the leadership

lessons they have attended.

At the next level of Nurture, the school provides different leadership tracks for appointments of

NE ambassadors, CCA leaders and prefects for the students with recognisable leadership

qualities. These students make up the second tier of the leadership model and they undergo

training programmes to equip them with leadership skills so that they are competent to assume

their roles. Prefects who are recognized for their distinct leadership qualities are invited to join the

Prefects EXCO where they assume Tier 3 leadership roles.

At the Excel level, these leaders are given more opportunities to engage in meta-cognitive

activities to challenge existing ideas and initiate change at the school level.

6

Student Leaders’ Investiture

One of the key milestone programmes for student

leadership is the installation of prefects. The Prefects’

Investiture was held on 14 March. A total of 85 prefects

from Primary 4 to Primary 6 were installed. They were

selected by their teachers for displaying leadership

qualities, responsibility and compassion towards their

teachers and friends. The Executive Committee

(EXCO) comprises the following prefects:

Jamie Tan (Head Prefect) P6 Lily

Seraphina Low (Vice-Head) P6 Daisy

Clarabelle Lim P6 Daisy

Chloe Tan P6 Hibiscus

Presha Magandharan P5 Allamanda

Tricia-Ann Tan P5 Allamanda

.

After the prefects’ investiture, the school conducted a

simple ceremony on 21 April to install the Tier 2 student

leaders, namely the NE ambassadors and the CCA

leaders on. A total of 31 NE ambassadors and 44 CCA

Leaders were installed. The NE ambassadors were

selected based on their keenness to promote values on

citizenship and be involved in NE commemorative

days. The CCA leaders were selected based on their

interest and ability in the CCA they represent. These

two groups of leaders pledged their commitment to the

school after they have received their badges.

Students’ Voice

We believe that the students must be given a voice in order to develop a sense of belonging and

pride of the school. Hence, different platforms are created for the students to voice their ideas

and opinions. One such platform is the voting of the head prefect position. Students are given an

opportunity to vote for the nominee that best fits the role of the head prefect after listening to the

campaign speeches from the different head prefect nominees.

Another platform for student voice is the student-initiated projects. All students are encouraged to

drop their suggestions into the school’s suggestion box and the prefect EXCO will evaluate these

suggestions and present them during morning assemblies. Some of these suggestions may even

be implemented by the students. They are valuable input from the students that will improve the

overall well-being of the students.

Student leaders are also encouraged to spearhead student-initiated projects based on the

sensing of the general needs of the students. This year, the student leaders would like to work on

improving the discipline of the students in the school bus and there are plans to educate the

students on acceptable school bus etiquette.

Values Alive Series

The Values Alive series is an assembly programme helmed by the student leaders. The focus for

this year is on the value of resilience. Appointed student leaders research on people who have

demonstrated and lived out the value of resilience and present the stories to the student

population at morning assemblies.

It is hoped that by sharing these stories, it will serve to inspire and motivate the students

understand what it means to bounce back when they are faced with challenges and not to give

up in life.

Friend of Singa

Every year, a group of student leaders is selected to represent the school in participating in the

Friend of Singa award organised by the Singapore Kindness Movement. This year, the theme for

Friend of Singa is ‘Let’s Appreciate! Pass it On’.

The student leaders made a decision to focus their effort on showing their appreciation to the staff

of the school who work behind the scenes. They are the school’s cleaners, canteen vendors and

security guards. The student leaders will be paying tribute to them and recognising their role and

contributions to the school.

To do that, they have planned simple activities such as getting the school to write messages of

appreciation, organising a “Volunteers’ Day” and conducting an assembly talk to raise awareness

of the roles and responsibilities of these people.

We believe that these acts of kindness will go a long way in bringing a smile to their faces.

3.2 Character & Citizenship Education and Partnership

Parents’ Symposium 2016 – Enriching Minds and Engaging Lives

More than 200 CHIJ Kellock parents attended this

year’s Parents’ Symposium held in the school. The

theme for this year’s symposium is ‘Enriching Minds

and Engaging Lives’. This year’s keynote

presentation on ‘I Can’t Live Without IT – Engaging

the IT and Smart Phone Generation’ by Touch Cyber

Wellness Manager, Mr Chong Ee Jay, was well

received by parents who found the topic interesting

and relevant.

The symposium included hands-on workshops,

sharing sessions and activities, where parents

learned how to better engage their daughters in the

learning of the various subjects, as well as receiving

parenting tips on family and parenting issues.

Feedback from parents was extremely positive, with

many stating that the workshops were engaging and

well delivered by teachers and they look forward to

Parents’ Symposium 2017!

Keep Singapore Clean Movement – Spring Cleaning and Kellock Daily Cleaning Routine

In line with the ‘Keep Singapore Clean Movement’

which advocates a clean Singapore, CHIJ Kellock

students proudly shouldered the responsibility of

cleaning their classrooms. Through the termly Spring

Cleaning activity, students cleaned their classrooms,

tables and chairs, cleared their lockers and packed

their class library to ensure a good closure to the term.

Spring-cleaning day also provides a great platform for

students to demonstrate our school values of

responsibility and graciousness as they work together

as a class, helping one another to complete their

cleaning task.

To further inculcate a sense of responsibility and good

life habits, the Kellock Daily Cleaning Routine was

also introduced in Term 1 this year to make classroom

cleaning a daily affair for students. At the end of the

school day, classical music will be played as students

proceed to carry out some basic cleaning of their

classrooms. This routine ensures a cleaner classroom

environment, thus promotes better learning.

Spring Cleaning is a meaningful and fun

activity for the Kellock Girls!

3.2 Project Work @ Kellock

In line with our school vision of developing each

child’s unique giftedness to lead and make a

difference, VIA-infused Project Work @ Kellock

will be carried out this year across Primary 3, 4

and 5, integrated with various subjects.

Project Work aims to give students the platform to

synthesise knowledge and critically and creatively

apply knowledge to real-life situations. Using

Design Thinking as an approach, students will

make use of real world information and explore

the different ways one can improve the various

situations.

In 2015, the Primary 5 students were guided through a process of discovery, exploration and

finding innovative ways to conserve energy. With the greater awareness of the part each

individual plays in caring for the environment, the students were challenged to be the change they

want to see and to be an advocate for energy conservation.

This year, the students in Primary 3 will be embarking on a project where they will learn about

keeping the environment clean, and hence, creating a cleaner environment for the school and

community. Together with NEA, the students will be guided through a process of empathising with

the janitors, and learning how they can be agents of change in creating the environment they wish

to live in.

As for the Primary 4 students, they will be learning

about the underprivileged in our society, in line

with our yearly Children for Children’s theme.

Students will be empathising with the less

fortunate in our society, and to create stories to

spread awareness of the urban poor, and also of

the values that they have learnt.

5 Parent Support Group (PSG)

From The Vice-Chairperson – Maura Fogarty

It feels like just a few weeks ago when I was welcoming new parents into the PSG at our PSG

Welcome Breakfast in January. And now, we’re at the halfway mark for the school year. Time

flies when you’re having fun!

It’s been an active and event-filled first semester. PSG parent volunteers have been busy

organising activities and programs such as the spectacular International Friendship Day event,

Tutti-Frutti Tuesdays, Chinese Reading Mums & Dads and Mother’s Day craft sales. And there

is more to come in the second half of the year.

Photographs of PSG events

We had mentioned in our previous Kellock Connects page that our photographers will be

uploading photos of our events to Kellock’s website. Please note that we will not be doing so as

we need to comply with the school’s policy on photo publication and distribution (under the

Personal Data Protection Act). If you want photos of any particular event, please contact the

event’s sub-committee head or email to psgkellock@gmail.com to request for a private

distribution. We appreciate your understanding towards this matter.

Parent Support Group Semester Newsletter – The Hand-In-Hand *NEW!

Look out for our half-yearly newsletter, coming your way! It showcases what we’ve done, a look-

ahead to what’s in store and some useful tips and profiles of current PSG volunteers.

Coming UP in Term 3…

RACIAL HARMONY DAY 21 July 2016

The PSG is continuing to support the school in its National

Education initiatives. Last year’s kampong-spirit games

during Racial Harmony Day was so successful, we’re doing

it again, this time with a twist. We’d like to ask Daddies in

particular, if they could help us out on Racial Harmony Days.

If there are any Daddies interested, we’d love to hear from

you. Please contact Celine Abueg @

psgkellock@gmail.com . Mummies are welcome too!

CHILDREN’S DAY 10 October 2016

We are going big on Children’s Day this year! And we’ll need all the

parent support we can get! On Children’s Day, 10 October, Kellock will

be transformed into one giant Carnival! Think games, activities,

dancing, and more! To pull off such a large event successfully, we’ll

need volunteers, donations, prizes, etc. The entire Children’s Day

carnival budget is sponsored by the PSG. If you’d like to help in any

way, please contact us at psgkellock@gmail.com.

PRIMARY 6 GRADUATION 11 November 2016

One of the highlights of the year for the PSG is the P6 Graduation party. It is always such a

delight seeing the girls relax, have fun and mark their journey onwards to secondary school. Even

though this is usually one of the last items on our calendar, parent volunteers have already started

planning. If you have any questions or would like to help in some way, do let us know!
