Good day, everyone. By now, most of you should have received a small gift from me containing a handmade prawn. So what exactly is the significance of the prawn? Well, to tell you the truth, I have actually made 24 prawns in total with my sister’s assistance, with 1 transparent prawn given to Miss Tan, 9 pink prawns, 7 green prawns and 7 blue prawns given to each s6aints. So they actually represent each unique individual remaining in S6A now and together we form the S6A community as shown below.
Now, I want all of you to know that you are an indispensable part of this class as once a prawn is gone, the figure of S6A will be incomplete. Therefore, I really hope that all of us can unite as a class and demonstrate high class spirit in the year ahead by supporting one other in this community.
I could still remember vividly the first time we were brought together as a class, with a significant number of people from different background and most of us don’t even have the slightest idea of who the others were. However, as time goes by, we gradually get to know most of the classmates, however our class spirit remains to be challenged from time to time. So I really hope that as we celebrate the Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year, we could all still remember that we are all part of this S6A community and it is each and everyone’s responsibility to maintain the unity of this community for united we stand and divided we fall. Do support one another and participate actively in class activities in the year ahead. JC life is really short-lived and before we know it, it’ll be over. So I really hope that we would all treasure one other’s companion so that we do not leave regrets in our JC life.
Of course, besides that, another significance of the prawn will be the analogy in International Chess. As all of us know that the prawn plays an insignificant role in International Chess. However, given time and opportunity, it has the ability to knock out the king. Therefore, I would like to highlight that though each of us may seem to play an insignificant role in the unity of the class, the combine effort of each and every individual can make miracles come true. On personal basis, I hope that all of us can adopt the spirit of a prawn to persevere till the end to achieve whatever you want to achieve. Look at failures as stepping stones to success. One in all, I hope everyone will continue to maintain your positive outlook and all the best in your future endeavours.
Once again, I would also like to wish everyone a happy Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year. Do take a good break from school over the Chineses New Year holidays and enjoy your holidays.

P.S. Do not be mistaken that just because I didn’t include Eunice and Shu Qun, they are not part of this community. After all, we all have been through one year as classmates. Hope they would also treasure the friendships we once had.
