This year , Anglican High School also took part in the National Junior College Mathematics Competition 2013 . This was a 2-day competition where students had to solve a real-life problem using Mathematical Concepts in their syllabus , a process known as Mathematical Modelling . As this is our first time participating in this competition , the team was initially unsure of what to expect . However , with guidance from the teachers-in-charge , and the enthusiasm and positivity shown by the team , our school eventually came in 1 st Runners-up .
The school would like to congratulate the following students for their determination and the hard work they put in during the preparation of this competition . They are , Poon Wing Kit Xavier , 4B , Joel Chang Qing Liang and Yap Teng Suan , 4C , and Lim Gang Yi , 4D .
IGNITE Week
To further enhance the AHS CHAMPS programmes , the IGNITE Week was introduced to stretch students ' cognitive potential . IGNITE refers to ' I Gain New Insights Through Electives '. The first IGNITE Week was held in Term 1 Week 10 when students had the opportunity to take up an elective module . Each elective was carefully planned by our own teachers and was conducted over 3 sessions .
Through these electives , students from the Secondary One , Three and Four cohort explored concepts , knowledge and skills related to Economics , Psychology , Microbiology , Japanese Language , Phonetics and many more . Some modules such as Food Science and Social Entrepreneurship even provided students with authentic learning experiences in the science laboratory as well as a learning journey to a social enterprise ‘ Friends of the Disabled Society ’.
