Growth Day

Chong Boon is a very unique school as it has many, well, unique occasions and one of them is Growth Day which was on last Friday. Growth Day has been celebrated in Chong Boon for four years. You might be wondering what is Growth Day. It is a day where we come together as a class and set targets for the mid and end of year examinations. And by the end of the year, we must achieve our targets. This year’s theme was ‘Beyond Bridging Gaps’. It is also a day where we do something as a school. Last year we made a banner to show that Chong Boon supports the youth Olympics in 2010. This year we were to make a short thirty second advertisement that shows us practicing the sixteen habits of mind. Our class made a video showing a habit if mind which was ‘Thinking and communication with clarity and precision’. Later, in the hall they showed all the classes videos but as there was not much time left they cut short our advertisement and because of that no one understood the concept of our advertisement. But we did had fun making the video though. And I hope that next year’s Growth Day will be as fun and meaningful as this year.
