It feels like it was just yesterday that we had the Sec 1 students joining the AV Crew. However, as of 12 midnight yesterday evening, people the world over bade farewell to 2008 and ushered in 2009. It was no different here in Singapore and in Springfield Secondary School too.

As we look back on the year that had passed, there were countless memories that we had together; some cherished, while some are better left forgotten. Some of our experiences were no doubt, sweet. On the other hand, some of the things that we had gone through were not so pleasant.

Time really flies!

Let us take a quick trip down Memory Lane and list down the events which the AV Crew had supported in the past year.

Secondary 1 Registration, CCA Fair Day, Chinese New Year Celebrations, Speech Day, Sec 2 Post Exam Activities (Pet Rocket), Visits from Foreign Delegates, Let's Rock, GIFT Carnival, Teachers' Day Celebrations, National Day Celebrations, Graduation Day, Hari Raya Celebrations, Speed Painting Competition, Springfield Military Band ROD Ceremony, GCE 'N' & 'O' Levels Results, Parents & Teachers Meeting, not forgetting the daily morning PA support, and the assemblies every fortnightly.

Most of you, when given a task, you could carry it out well and sometimes even exceed my own expectations. Especially to the seniors, you have been rendering your time and effort selflessly to the AV Crew and I would like to sincerely thank you for everything that you have contributed. You deserve a pat on the back.

We are now at the starting line of 2009 and there will be many hurdles ahead of us. You have to be strong to stay on track and head towards your goals. Hold steadfast onto our principles and beliefs. Do not make the same mistakes that you did last year.

Play your role as a student, as a son, as a friend, and as an AV Crew, to the best of your abilities.

Finally, let us make Year 2009 an even better year than Year 2008!
