PHOTO ESSAYS
Facilities around SNGS
By Chen Yi (2J)
The school track and field, with the patch of grass. There are many hockey players, track runners and other activities ongoing on the track that makes the school what it is.
The empty basketball court where we play basketball and other throw and catch related games, while making bonds with others.
A wide shot of the forum where cohort briefings take place, along with other activities like being a learning journey waiting area for classes. The values on the walls also link to our school values: simple in virtue, steadfast in duty.
An almost empty classroom where all studying and learning take place. A staple in every school, with half-finished Chinese New Year decorations for the annual Chinese New Year decoration competition held by the school.
A picture of the school pond, covered by greenery and a cooling pond holding fishes. When stressed or bored, students come around to see the fishes swimming happily in the pond.
A hot spot for group photographs—the rooftop garden. A place for all to visit to look at flowers and plants, or just simply to take a photograph and hang out with friends. Many class photographs are taken on this very rooftop garden, holding all the memories we make.
A closeup of the school library, with the decorations outside it as a prop. The school library has a multitude of books for all to read, with a ton of different genres to explore. Dive into a good book with all the comfortable couches around, and feel free to study in any of the free seats around the library!
The school canteen, with only one stall open late into the day. This encapsulates the meaning of peace and gratitude as it showcases the hard work canteen vendors put in for us that we don’t realize.
Between the hectic school days, the students take respite at the facilities around the school, some choosing to buy their favorite food during recess, others lounging around in the library or the classroom with friends. Seeking solace in the many places of relaxation before school eventually closes is something no student here hasn’t done before. They eventually trickle out of the school gate across the track, going home. The collage of facilities in the school allow the students to get a minute of peace and solace to themselves.
