ROAR-ing Into Action
ROAR Awards (May 2025)
It was a bumper crop of ROAR Award recipients in May! 7 student-athletes stood out not only for their contributions but also for the character and leadership they displayed in bringing our school values to life.
After participating in the Secondary 1 Applied Learning Programme on sustainability, Andre Nicholas Chong Chua and Hannah Soffiah Mohamed Hanafiah presented to the school what they had learned with confidence. Andre demonstrated creativity and resilience by collecting and cleaning used drink packaging, which he repurposed into a featured artwork for the school’s Open House. Beyond the creative process, he worked closely with staff to refine his presentation and engaged visitors with clarity and confidence, receiving positive feedback from participants. His enthusiasm carried through to the Earth Day Assembly, where he delivered a compelling message on sustainability.
Hannah was a dependable and driven team player. She approached each task, from preparing materials to supporting peers, with responsibility and care. She collaborated with staff to prepare for her role as a student presenter and delivered her message with conviction at both the Open House and Earth Day Assembly. Together, Andre and Hannah helped strengthen our school’s sustainability efforts while inspiring their peers.
At the Hari Raya Pop-up Exhibition, Abdul Raaif Abdul Rashid and Azlina Mastamam brought culture and community to life through their roles as student presenters. Raaif impressed with his high energy, engaging walkthroughs, and strong leadership. He helped guide sessions smoothly and supported teammates, creating a welcoming environment where cultural traditions were shared with warmth and inclusivity. Azlina stood out for her calm, thoughtful presence and clear communication. She provided meaningful insights into Ramadan and Hari Raya, making each interaction with visitors memorable. Her proactive approach, including team briefings and seeking feedback, helped elevate the overall experience of the exhibition. Both student-athletes exemplified respect, responsibility, and cultural appreciation in action.
At the Singapore Sports School Open House, Emma Li Shi Qi and Blairdimir Herbert stepped up to support the Student Development booth, despite it being their first experience in such a role. Emma remained focused and welcoming throughout her shift, gradually gaining confidence and sharing her student-athlete journey with clarity and sincerity. Blair demonstrated professionalism and poise, engaging parents with pride and quickly adapting to feedback. Both students embodied the growth mindset we aim to instill in all our student-athletes.
Meanwhile, Nur Emelda Aw played a key role in the school’s Open House 2025 publicity campaign. Selected to front videos, which were used online to reach out to interested parties to the Open House, she approached the opportunity with enthusiasm and professionalism. Her warm and approachable nature made collaboration seamless, and her efforts contributed to the campaign achieving over 1 million online impressions and helped drive nearly 2,500 attendees to the event.
Each of these student-athletes has made a lasting impact through their dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence. Their actions reflect not only personal growth but also the strength of our community when student-athletes lead with heart and purpose.
