The Champions are back! - House Singing 2014

House Singing is a tradition for all KTJ students that stirs eagerness and enthusiasm. It’s the biggest event of the year that brings excitement, not only to students, but also the teaching staff and parents too. As a new born Irinian, House Singing was something entirely new to me and initially I couldn't appreciate the significance of it. However, travelling along the Irinian House Singing journey made me bond well among the seniors and juniors, taught me the true value of perseverance, the importance of teamwork and cooperation, and also the ability to accept criticism in a constructive manner; to be able to progress further and ahead of others.

 At the end, it was indeed a sweet victory and all those countless hours of patience and practices was worth the blood, sweat and tears. Regardless of the amount of time spent on House Singing, it was indeed a memorable one as we stood together through thick and thin as one; not only did we bring home the Champion’s Trophy again for the 8^th time in 10 years’ of competition, we were also rewarded with the Most Entertaining Performance Trophy!! What a roaring start to the term - Irinah and I definitely look forward to a victorious year ahead too.

House Night 2014 - Term 1

The afternoon of 23^rd August 2014, the Irinah household was filled with lively chatter as we got ready for House Night. The trip to The Curve was roughly 2 hours, part of it caused by the bus driver taking the wrong route. When we got there, we broke into our own groups and headed off to do every girl’s hobby – shopping.

In the evening, we left the mall to indulge in a variety of Japanese cuisine at Maiu. Plate after plate at sushi, sashimi, maki’s and so on went to every table. Dinner was filled with laughter and fun. Everyone – new and old students alike - enjoyed the night. It was a fun day of discovering each other again and making new friends!
