Odyssey of the Mind
Odyssey of the Mind is an international creative problem-solving competition. It teaches students how to work in teams and think divergently to come up with creative solutions within a limited budget. Teams must complete a Long-Term Problem, on topics that vary from the technical to the classical. The Spontaneous Problem segment tests students’ ability to think on their feet to come up with innovative responses to problems given on the spot. At the Odyssey of the Mind Finals held on 5 and 6 April, our pioneer teams did the school proud by achieving the 4 th Position in Division 2 Problem 4-Tumblewood and 6 th Position in Division 2 Problem 5 – It’ s How You Look At It.

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’.
