Activities 2009 and 2010

Hi all,

It has been a long while since I posted on the blog. I would like to say that our sporting teams did pretty well for the year 2009. I am very confident that with the continuing support from the SJII family, we would do better in the year 2010.

ACSIS Week 2

After a great week for our sporting teams, we were hoping for similar results in week 2 of our participation. However; the results were not in our favour this week.

First, our senior basketball boys (19U) went over to UWC and played their B team. The home team was confident of an easy win as they have previously defeated Waseda Senior High. Although our boys lost the game 43-40 in overtime, they pushed UWC B all the way.

On the very same day, our 19U girls was making their debut game in a triangular with ISS and CIS. We lost to ISS 3-1 but managed to defeat CIS by a score of 3-2. Well done girls as some are new to the game.

The next day saw both the soccer 19U and 16U B teams taking on CHIS and UWC C teams respectively. It was not a god day for us as both the teams lost; 19U lost to CHIS 1-4 while the 16U to UWC C, 2-5.

The week however, ended on a high note as our 16U A soccer boys turned up the heat on the visiting AIS A by defeating them by a score of 7 - 2. The boys is currently two for two. Keep up the good work as the challenge would come when we play OFS Aon the 5th Oct.

Supporters, please watch out for the fixtures on the PE / Activities notice board for the coming weeks.

Have a good long weekend.

ACSIS Sports Season 1

As our sporting teams are busy preparing and playing in our first ever ACSIS league competition, I would like to thank all the players who has put in the time and effort in their respective sports.

It has been a fruitful week for our soccer and basketball teams.

We started the week with both our 19U and 16U basketball boys playing their first game and we had mixed fortune in results; the senior boys lost to Waseda Shibuya Senior High School but our 16U boys defeated PBHS B team.

The soccer boys were next to play. Although the 19U boys lost to Australian International School, they played well and would definitely do better in their next game. Our 16U boys did better by beating OFS B team.

OUr senior Volleyball team played their first game on Thursday and defeated UWC B team convincingly. We ended off the week with our 19U Basketball team defeating Chatsworth International on Friday.

I would like to congratulate all the players for their effort and to continue to play to their potential in every game.

Next week would be a busy week for the soccer and volleyball teams where all our games will be played on our grounds. Supporters, please look out for the notices for the games dates and timings.

Basketball Friendly with German School

Our 19 and Under team played a friendly game with their german counterparts on the 1 June at their wonderful indoor hall. It was the team's second game of the season and the first playing in a indoor surface. They started the game nervously but got better as the game went. Slowly but surely., they started to play like a seasoned team.

Leads exchanged hands a couple of times and it was at the final minute that the German boys scored the winning basket. It was certainly a good experience for the boys as they get prepared for their coming league.

Achievement in climbing

Our own Lynette Koh has been doing very well in the local climbing circuit. She has participated in numerous local competitiion and have been winning. The latest two being Pumpfest 2009 where she come in tops in the novice category and the safra Clinb2 where she finished first in the 15 and Under Category. Well done Lynette.

New Term

It was a good break for most of us and it is back to hard work again. For this term, the students will be having their usual fitness test which I might say, some of them have improved tremendously in their running timing.

The stuednts will again be learning new skills during their PE lessons when they rotate in their respective levels.

The weather has been unpredictable, so please put on your sunscreen and remember to drink lots of water. Remember that if your lips are dry, it is a sign that your are beginning to dehydrate.

We will have a fantastic half term.

Activities; so far.

The activities programme in SJII has been going well for the past three months. With the new attendance tracking system in place, we are able to track errand students who missed activity.

The sporting teams have started having friendlies; the Netball team has been involved in an international schools tournament that takes place every Thursdays. The Newly formed Volleyball team has played its first game beating ICS. The Tennis Team (Girls) will be participating in the coming HCI invitation tournament (28th and 29th March). Meanwhile, the U18 soccer team has played in a mini triangular tournament involving HCI and St. Francis School, which we won (1-0 against HCI and 4-0 against SFS). The U15 played against the ICS U17 and drew 0-0, while the U14 will be playing their first game this Thursday (19th March) against San Yu Adventist school.

All the other activity groups have been going on well too with your continual support, the activity programme in SJII with definitely flourish.

Soccer Friendly

The Soccer Team had their first game of the season last week, with the U15 playing against ICS on Thursday (05/03) and the U18 went up against Hwa Chong International and St. Francis School in a mini Triangular Game.

Although the U15 drew the game against ICS, they did very well as they were playing against the U17 team. A few younger boys stood up during the game; Johann, Manuel, Robert John and Miguel who were all grade 7's. The team had good chances and they passed the physical aspects with flying colours.

The U18 team did better, they played HCI first and won with a Paul Salim' s well taken goal. Afterwhich they had chances but did not put them away. In the second game, the second team took on St Francis school. The idea was to let the players experience a competitive environment. They did not disappoint us and came out 4-0 winners, with Rishi scoring a wonderful goal from a corner.

The team will be playing more friendlies in the months coming.

The first lesson has gone off well with the students being classified into the various groups. I am fully confident that your child will benefit from the programme.

2009

Hi, it has been a short while since I have written. It is good to be back in school after a well deserved break.

To start, there has been some changes in the PE department; Miss Jasper gone over to head the Elementaty school and Miss Jessica Ladd and Mr. Rowdie has joined us .

Despite all the uncertainty that the world is facing, I strongly believe that 2009 will be a fantastic year for all of us here in SJII.

The activity programme will start on the week of 19 Jan 2009, the students are in the mist of confirming their choices.

A point to note for activites, all absence from the activity day would have to be accompanied by a note form a parent or guardian in the homework diary and to be acknowledge by the teacher before the start of the activity. Failure to do so will be considered as truancy.

As again, looking forward to a wonderful year.
