Hey Athena!! 

Our second faculty outing of the year, Clair de Lune, was held on 21st October in the new Indoor Sports Hall, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Prior to the event, all classes were invited to select your representatives to take part in the quest to find our very own pair of Athena’s Knights and Dames. Throughout the event, all these representatives from the various classes were involved in a series of games and challenges to prove their worth, and we are proud to announce that Wang Xing Yu and Lin Yuan Xuan from the class of 17S6E were crowned as Athena’s very own pair of handsome Knights!

We would like to say a massive thank you to the following parties, without whom our outing would not have been as amazing as it was. 

✨Thank you to all performers — your talent and liveliness never fails to amaze us, with all of you eagerly volunteering to entertain your classmates with your performances, be it singing or dancing.

✨Thank you to all our enthusiastic Knights and Dames from all classes, for being so passionate as you battled your way for the title of Athena’s Ultimate Pair — the Knight and Dame of Athena

✨Thank you to Nanyang Girls’ High and Hwa Chong Institution’s Science Research Centre for being so willing to loan us the floodlights, bringing light to Clair de Lune and Hwa Chong Students’ Council and PA/AVA for loaning us the necessary equipment light up and bring life to the Indoor Sports Hall

✨Thank you to all our sponsors for so generously donating vouchers and items for our door gifts!

Athena Faculty Outing 1 2017 concluded on the 29th of April and we sincerely hope everyone had a wonderful time. As with every event, there are countless people we would like to thank. Without the following people, the party at 100 Acre Wood would not have been possible. 🙂

THANK YOU to all fervent performers who have so enthusiastically jumped at the opportunity to perform at 100 Acre Wood. The concert was a huge part of the event, and it was your amazing talents and charm that made it as successful as it was. Your burning passion, be it singing or dancing, never fails to amaze us.

THANK YOU to our in-house AEP painters and Gigi Teo from 16S6D for adding colours to our participants. You are a bunch of crazily talented artists. You sacrificed your chance to mingle with your friends for the faculty and we truly appreciate that. You embody the true Athenian spirit.

THANK YOU to all games participants for making the games segment so exciting! You were ready to put aside your dignity and being so sporting to play the games we had in store for you guys! Thank you for dealing with the forfeits so gracefully and for providing the crowd with some great entertainment.

THANK YOU Zane Tan from 16S7J and Leung Hung Ming from 16S6G for the wonderful shots you have taken. While others were soaked in the moment, you were behind the lens, capturing these moments for us to look back upon. Your photos provide memories we cherish dearly.

THANK YOU Huang Cheng for letting Sean barge into your workspace at random moments and being so kind to lend us your tools and workspace to allow us to complete our decorations. We would like to specially thank Yu Xin, Sha-Anne, G Wayne and Dawn for teaching and assisting us when you saw the need to.

THANK YOU to the following organisations, Pezzo, Dominos, Texas Instruments, Wavehouse, Escape Hunt, Kane Mochi, Rattana Thai Restaurant, B52, National Museum of Singapore, Asian Civilization Museum, Goro Goro, I’M KIM BBQ, Swensens, Tea Party and Curry Wok, who have generously agreed to sponsor our event. The participants were thrilled to receive the sponsored items, and we hope you will continue to support Athena Faculty for many years to come.

THANK YOU Senior FacComm for being so supportive of our events and always coming down during our events. Your valuable advice and insights have helped us tremendously. We are extremely grateful to have such encouraging seniors to look up to.

THANK YOU to our beloved FacComm teachers, Ms Grace Chua, Mrs Teri Leo and Mr Lim Junyang in particular, for guiding us throughout the event and imparting us with the valuable knowledge and experience that you have along the way. You were with us every step of the way, caring about our welfare while ensuring that we were on task. You are the ones we go to when we face problems, and the ones we go to to share our joy. Thank you for being there with us, for us.  

Finally, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came down to the party in the 100 Acre Wood and added to the vibrancy and liveliness of the venue. Thank you for your energy that has made this event such a successful one. We hope you had a magical time at the party and forged even stronger bonds and made precious memories with your friends! For the J1s, we hope you are excited for future Faculty Outings and will support Athena FacComm 17/18 in their journey.

Thank you everyone, from the bottom of our (very full) hearts. We are beyond happy to have shared our FO1 journey with you, and it is an event we will keep close to our hearts.

Signing off for the very last time,

Your FO1 ICs

We, the Athena Faculty Committee, are extremely grateful for you little OWLS for always giving your best and always keeping our spirits high!! Now school has officially started for a week and it’s a good time for us to #throwback to the good memories of orientation 🙂

Hope you still remember the very first day you stepped into your assigned classes.

Pick up the sponges and built a wall to defend our Athena pride? It is really heart-warming to see our whole faculty come together when everyone else is pointing their flags at us. We showed them what it is meant by #WeBleedGreen.

10 years down the road will we still be friends? Hope you enjoyed the campfire night as we CELEBRATE our victory of winning SoDaChe Challenge!!
