“I learnt to use the fire-extinguisher and I am now confident of applying my new skills
when there is a need for it.”

@ Junyuan Secondary School | 12 February 2018
Total Defence Day 2018
“The theme for this year’s Total Defence Day is ‘Together We Keep Singapore Strong’. This
year marks the 76th Anniversary of the Fall of Singapore to the Japanese. It was a time of
hardship and suffering for the people of Singapore under the Japanese rule.”
“Junyuan organized a meaningful line-up of
events such as the ‘Syonan-to’ Breakfast (made from tapioca), an SGSecure talk (by Tampines Neighbourhood Police Centre) and training on fire-fighting, basic evacuation techniques and
basic First Aid skills so as to be ready in times of emergency.”

‘Twas the year 1942
Where panic struck and hardships grew
People crying and it was not well
Lives were made into a living hell
The new rulers were mean cold-blooded
Those who sought freedom, soon, beheaded
Aggressors on a killing spree
Oh, what has happened to the land once free?
By Rifqi (3E3)
Made us fear them all
They stood strong and tall
As they watched us fall
Their posters on the wall
By Nadrah Diyanah (3E3)
Faces pressed railings
Ears heard wailings
Young and old were caged
With hearts full of rage
By Cheryl Ng (3E3)
Look out for our special interview with Mr Vaahid!
“It is crucial for our young generation to know what steps to take when facing a crisis or threat. The CCE lesson on TDD
teaches our students to recognise these steps so that they become more confident in their role to defend the country.”
~ Nadiah Khamis (FT/1E2)
“It is an opportunity to help students understand the need to keep out level of preparedness to its optimal, through the
painful lessons learnt in the past.” ~ Teh Li Wah (FT/3T1)
“Being in a uniform group CCA
allows students to pick up essential
life skills and values. Through their
participation in various activities,
students will develop a sense of
ownership & responsibility towards
our country. They will be prepared
to fulfil their roles in nation building
& strive towards becoming useful
