at the walkway between the canteen and general office.

*We will be re-using the posters that we have done up for the school's open house for the CCA fair. But we will still need the help of some of the players to be there at 9.00am to setup and manage the booth.

2. CCA selection for Secondary One pupils will be held on the

We will release the confirmed training schedule on the first training for the year 2015 because we are still working out the timing and location for Friday's training.

4. Final note for SQSS Badminton for the year 2014

Today is the 31st of Dec 2014,
Besides from celebrating the in coming of the year 2015 and spending time with your family and loved ones.
Today is also a good day for you to set your targets and goal for the year 2015.

Go grab yourself a pen and a piece of paper and list down your targets and goal for the year 2015,

The trick is, you need to be specific about your goals and not set goals like, "I want to be a better person" and "I want to improve in my studies". You need to be more specific.

It doesn't always has to be something that is related to badminton, such as, I want to make it to west zone top 4, I want to make 2 more rounds up the Ashaway Cup and etc...

It can also be related to your academic, such as, I want to be improve my D&T grades by 2 grades, I want to improve my Maths grade by 3 grades and etc...

It can also be about your personal life, spending an extra 2 hours of time with you family and friends, finish reading 20 storybooks and etc...

Get your priorities right and focus on the ACTIONS that will lead you to achieving them because goals and targets do not drop from the sky, the same goes for money and good grades, They cannot be achieved by sitting down and doing nothing. And I can tell you, the only thing that will get from the sky from sitting down and doing nothing is bird shit.

So... Go now!

List your targets and goals, then followed by listing the actions that you are going to perform to help you achieve them. Be true to yourself and be realistic about your targets and goals. I am sure all of you will be able to achieve them if you put your heart into them and I wish for all of your success!

Summary of events for year 2014

For this year, on top of all the training, holiday training and extra training. (I feel sorry for you if all you can remember are training, more training and even more training).

For this year, we also manage to accomplish these,
Open House 2014 , CCA Fair 2014, Badminton Selection 2014, West Zone Tournament (1st round), West Zone Tournament (2nd round), Wee Kim Wee Tournament, National Day Carnival, Badminton Court Painting, Friendy matches with Jun yuan Sec, Ashaway Cup and I think there are more, cant recall so many events at one go.

Next year, we plan to organise more events for you guys to appreciate your hardwork and contributions to the School.

And yes, i hear you....

Camps....

At this point, I cannot promise you any of these yet and you need to understand that, all these events take a lot of time and resources to plan and organise to make them happen, much more than you can imagine....
