Language is not a barrier to success. This was proven true by our five top students who came in SCI with bare minimum languageproficiency but through their consistent work, perseverance and endurance they managed to get through GCE ‘O’ level with flying colors.Their rigorous classroom training for a year has finally paid off. Thanks to their very supportive and highly qualified teachers and mentorswho have journeyed with them both in their struggles and in their achievements while at Shelton. Equally important to their successes aretheir parents who have consistently and openly partnered the teachers in bringing out the best in them.The 12-month O-level course prepared the students for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level examinations, the same examinationsthat local secondary 4 students sit for in the government schools. Their O-level qualification is a widely recognized standard of educationalachievement valued by employers, education authorities and institutions of higher education throughout the world. While preparing fortheir O-Level examinations, they underwent monthly classroom assessments leading up to their final examinations conducted by theSingapore Examinations and Assessments Board (SEAB) in October and November last year. With this qualification, they have variousoptions of progression to a 3-year UK (Hons) degree programme conducted at Shelton in collaboration with Staffordshire University (UK);a University Foundation Studies at universities in the United Kingdom, United State and Australia; the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level;and diploma studies at polytechnics in Singapore.The whole SCI family once again wishes the successful students a heartfelt congratulations for a well deserved success!

YuLu’s Thoughts on Shelton
Shelton College International
I am Yu Lu, a student of the GCE ‘O’ Level class in Shelton College International in 2008. When I heard I had obtained goodresults in the GCE ‘O’ Level Examinations, I was very delighted and excited. I remember the colourful days I had spent in theschool. They were unforgettable. When I first joined the school in early 2008, I was full of uncertainty. My broken English andpoor academic record, the prospect of a completely new environment and the short time I would have to prepare for theexaminations, all weighed heavily on me. “Would I succeed after only a few months?” I thought to myself.After studying in this school for a few weeks, I found my worries disappearing. First of all, I was impressed with the quiet andserene atmosphere. The campus is located in a beautiful place. The quiet environment is conducive to learning. The facilitiesare also good: the classrooms are all air-conditioned; the basketball court and football field are open to all students. I oftenwent to the library or to the computer room to look for learning materials.During the time I studied there, I felt the school had not only enough wonderful physical resources but also an excellentgroup of teachers. As the soul of the college, they make Shelton a school of high quality. They were patient and pleased toteach me. Sometimes they even gave up their rest time. With their help I progressed rapidly. I could soon write and speakEnglish fluently. I even managed to deal with some courses which I had never learnt before, such as Calculus and Principlesof Accounts.I also met a lot of clever and helpful classmates. I still remember the happy days we spent in the school. We studied together,went out for lunch, played basketball after class and went home in sweat-soaked clothes. My classmates selflessly helped mewhenever I had any difficulties in my studies and even when I had personal problems. We might not study together any longerbut I think that our friendship will last forever.I will not deny the efforts I made. However, I must say I was rather fortunate to study in the school, to be taught by the teach-ers I had and to become friends with my classmates. Without them, I believe I would not have obtained such good results.The time they spent with me will forever remain a part of my precious memories.
Please let me express my appreciation to all the people who had helped me during that e. hank you very much.

Learning Journey: Singapore’s NeWater
SCI’s commitment to holistic education for its major stakeholders has developed its CCA’s Character Develop-ment Program. Part of the program is its Learning Journeys. It is designed to widen the educational horizon of the students, who are primarily Non-Singaporeans, to aclimatise with Singapore. The entire program affects thestudent’s cognitive abilities as it enriches their understanding of Singapore’s Rich Cultural traditions andtechnologies.Singapore, being top of the world in terms of innovation, has earned international awards and recognitions forits water-related projects. Singapore’s daily water consumption, both domestic and industrial, has exceeded thecapacity of its reservoir. Thanks to its engineers for its ingenuity they have taken advantage of state-of-the-art-technologies in solving its lack of water sources.The NeWater Plant in Tanah Merah supplies a portion of Singapore’s potable water. This plant exceeds WHO’sstrict requirement for safe potable water.The Learning Journey, which commenced last 9th January, had 124 students participants who visited one of Singapore’s bests, the NeWater plant in Tanah Merah. The journey began with instructions and bird’s eye viewof the trip by Mr. Adli, CCA Master, at the School Hall. Upon arrival, the staff gave the participants a warmwelcome and brief introduction of the whole experience. They also gave the students key information on howthe water is processed from used water to “NeWater.” First hand information on the country’s water history aswell as the entire process was thoroughly discussed in different interesting approaches.
Singapore has earned international awardsan recognons or s waer-reae projects.
