Japan Exchange Programme

Mayflower Secondary School has established a deep and sustaining relationship with a school in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. We have been conducting this exchange programme with them for over 15 years.

This year, in August, a group of Japanese students visited our school. They spent a day with our students. In December, our students will visit them.



















P.E. lesson was enjoyable. The language of sport is universal!
















It can also foster deeper relationships.

















The students were given a unique opportunity to take part in outdoor activities in our tropical climate.




















Later, they attended a Geography lesson





















Mrs Audrey Koh took the effort to allow the students to savour some local cakes.

















The classrooms were decorated to welcome our friends from Akitakata City and Kagamino City.

HeartWave 2008

Connect Singapore - Hand in Hand, A Nation We Stand! 8 Aug 2008




Between 11.30am and 12.15pm on 8.8.2008, many in Ang Mo Kio were affected by the temporary stoppage of traffic (less than 10 minutes though) to facilitate the joining of hands by 30,000 youths to form a very long human chain.


Mayflower students were on hand to form part of this chain.

By joining tens of thousands of youths, together with the President of Singapore, holding hands to form an unbroken human chain in the heart of Singapore and reciting the National Pledge symbolizing “one united people”, our students were given an opportunity to stand united with others youths in Singapore.

Mr Han our O.M. was actively engaging and inspiring our students to stay focussed and to hold on together.



Connect Singapore was one of the signature events in NDP 2008 Celebrations Calendar,
and the biggest mass participation event in Singapore ever. Best of all it was All done by the YOUTHS, including our very own Mayflowerians!

Speaker's Corner : Your view counts

The N.E. committee believes strongly in the need to provide various platforms for our students to express their opinions and views.



During the Humanities week, a group of students explored this issue. "Is the National Day Parade still relevant today?"

Students were engaged in a heated discussion as they explored the reasons and objectives of celebrating National Day.

Through this platform, students got to examine issues from different viewpoints and that learnt everyone has the right to express their opinions.
