School Pond

Located right at the front of the school, the school pond is one of the most prominent places in the school. It features a bamboo garden, a few sheltered tables, two ponds and an island in the middle. The 30 foot trees dates back to at least 50 years, probably older than the trees planted along Green Lane.

Everyday, students and teachers alike traverse the paths to the main building. It is a good place to just sit down after and before school, and an even better place to do the most memorable things!

For ever scout who was elected as a leader, he will get first class treatment to enjoy the school pond’s waters! Yeap, generations of troop leaders, assistant troop leaders and patrol leaders have sampled what the aquatic life in the pond has to offer. I remember getting thrown in the pond after an AGM in 2004. Doesn’t taste that bad at all!
The pond is home to a couple of carps, and other fishes. Also present in the pond when I last checked were tortoises! (Most likely terrapins)

Besides that, the school pond is a favorite place among winners to get their pictures taken. The Editorial board photoshoots are usually conducted at the school pond area.
The funniest thing I ever experienced in that area is back in 2006, a teacher drove her Kancil into the drain next to the pond. Now picture a couple of kids in uniform lifting a car!
