Results: “Your Singapore Through Their Eyes: A Literary Competition”

Congratulations to Davita Koh and Erahilwana of 4E2!

In May, a group of students participated in a literary competition organised by Nanyang Girls' High School. “Your Singapore Through Their Eyes: A Literary Competition” or YSTTE, is a student initiative of Nanyang Girls’ High School, under the auspices of the school’s National Education Committee. This writing competition was open to all students between the ages of 7 to 16. Students were given free rein to pen their literary creations on the theme of “What makes Singapore, Singapore?”

The aims of this competition were to:
- Allow students to polish their literary skills in creative writing
- Provide young students with the opportunity to look at Singapore in another perspective
- Let these young students realise the uniqueness of Singapore and her culture in their own way
- Promote national identity from an early stage
- Allow students to unreservedly put across their views of Singapore

We are pleased to announce that after much consideration by the organising committee and various teachers (National Education, English Language and Oxford graduate teachers), Davita's poem came in second, out of 60-odd entries received. Erahilwana's poem received commendation.

The winning entries will be published on the organiser's website shortly. http://www.ystte.com/html/winning_entries.html. There are future plans to publish the top 30 entries in a book entitled "Your Singapore through Their Eyes".

Davita's prize (Cat C - Secondary School Category):

One shoebag (grey) containing various stationary, e.g. highlighters, laser pointers, notebooks, pens, etc.

One notebook (again, of a non-conventional sort)

One slingbag

Certificate as endorsed by the principal

Once again, congratulations to both of you, Era & Davita!
