Hey guides, here's an update on UG day celebrations!
Last week, we had UG day, to celebrate all the four UG groups in Dunman High. The day started off with the morning assembly, where all the four Ugs formed our contingents at the parade square. We had the chance to don our respective UG uniforms throughout the day. Dr Foo and Mr Melvyn Tan addressed the school, highlighting the achievements of Dunman High UG and the unique characteristics shared.
After school, rather than our usual activities, we had a combined UG day celebration. This promotes interaction between UG and donning our UG T-shirt also boosted our UG identity! The start of the line up of activities was marked by a mass dance.
We travelled in our assigned groups and went for station games. These games are mainly team-building, allowing us to get to know our groupmates from other Ugs better.
We also enjoyed a buffet dinner where we ate in our respective groups. During dinner, we also had the chance to interact with the emcees on stage, engaging us in the question and answers segment. We also had the priviledge to listen to a wonderful mix pod of songs that stirred the entire atmosphere.
We ended the day’s activities with another round of mass dance and prize presentation. ☺
Love guides! Keep the dunman UG spirit going:)

Hey guides! here's a blog post regarding heritage trail :)
On Saturday, we had a heritage trail and visited the Peranakan museum, Katong Park, Singapore River, Arab Street and fort canning park. We had to complete tasks stated on the booklet. At various locations, we rushed to complete the tasks as limited time were given and we had to allocate our time effectively in order to be able to visit all 5 places. On top of compulsory tasks, there were bonus tasks available for us to gain more points to attain the “Smartest Patrol Award”. Another award is the “Fastest Patrol Award”.
Not only did we learn more about Singapore’s culture and history through this trail, going out of the school for this trail allowed us to be more conscious of the image we are portraying to the public. For example, when asking for a favour, we should be polite and cautious of our words. This trail also proved to us the importance of navigational skills, as we had to navigate by ourselves from place to place. We should always take note of where we are going and make sure it is the right track. Another practical navigational skill is to take the train when in doubt.
Patrol members encouraged one another consistently thorughout the trail and we got to see a different side of our patrol mates. Through this interaction, our patrol grew closer through and we are thankful for this opportunity to learn☺
