Mobile Learning Journey @ Fort Canning

On October 27^th, the GS Preparatory students went on a Mobile Learning Journey to the historic location of Fort Canning.  Aside from exposing our students to more of Singapore’s history, the Mobile Learning Journey aimed to instil our school values of Sharing and Unity in the students as well as pique their curiosity and desire to explore the world around them.

Our younger students were given a few brainteasers to stretch their minds and encourage them to think outside the box.  Older students in the secondary school were equipped with e-readers loaded with applications enabling them to apply their knowledge in the real world.  The students were challenged to co-operate and complete their given tasks as accurately as possible, with a prize being awarded to the best group in each level. 

Despite the unexpected inclement weather that day, our students demonstrated perseverance and managed to complete the challenges posed to them.

The winners for the Mobile Learning Journey projects were: 

Secondary 1

Ayu Pertama Halim Mendoza
Chansamutyothin Chinadon

Secondary 2

2014 Semester 1: A Retrospective

Semester 1 has come and gone, but has left in its wake many happy memories for sutdents of Ascensia Academy. We at Ascensia Academy would like to share a retrospective of some of the events that occurred over the semester. 

ZERO DEMERIT POINTS AWARD

Ascensia Academy rewarded students who had demonstrated good behaviour throughout the term. At the end of every term, students with zero demerit points were awarded a small goodie bag in recognition of their good behaviour. 

Prize winners who had demonstrated exceptional and exemplary behaviour throughout the semester by not receiving any demerit points throughout Terms 1 and 2 were each given a special prize.

Pictured below are our prize winners. Congratulations, award winners, and keep up the good work!

 OUTDOOR LEARNING EXPERIENCE

In Ascensia, learning isn't just limited to the classroom. Students from Ascensia had the chance to experience outdoor learning as part of a holistic education, allowing them to apply skills previously learnt in the classroom. Younger students from the Government School Preparatory Course demonstrated teamwork by putting their heads together and coming up with a plan for their very own Class Fun Day, while our O-Level Seniors got some practice budgeting and preparing for a class barbeque at East Coast Park.

 FOCUS ART CONTEST

At the end of Term 1, the school conducted an art contest for our students to showcase their artistic skills and creativity. The contest centred around our five school Core Values: Faith, Openness, Caring, Unity and Sharing. Many of our students produced amazing artworks and it was a struggle to choose a winner from each class!  

CLEANEST CLASS AWARD

Students were encouraged to take responsibility for their own classroom surroundings and environment via the implementation of a Cleanest Class Award conducted over the course of one term. At the end of the term, the class winners were announced and the students in the winning class were each awarded a prize.

This round, the winning classes were the Primary 4 class and the Secondary 1 class!
