Secret Santa

Last Friday on 24 th of April, we at Honsbridge had a Secret Santa. It’s where Honnets and teachers exchange gifts without knowing who the giver is for Christmas. Some of the Honnets got what they wanted, like books, stationery etc. but most of them got a lot more unexpected gifts. It was a fun, if a little frustrating, Christmas moment for Honsbridge. After the Honnets went home exhausted from the exams and exchanging gifts, the teachers too held their own Secret Santa party. Each teacher gets to exchange gifts based on what they want. Then there was photo op where the teachers gather together in front of the Christmas decorations proudly showing off their opened gifts. What about you? What gift did your Secret Santa sent you? Merry Christmas, everyone!

Christmas is here and bringing good cheer to Honsbridge. Honnets have gathered together to celebrate both Christmas and also the end of the school year. After months of gruelling preparation for the exams, the Honnets finally gets to relief tension. First up for the Christmas Bash is the Go Green Parade, which showcases talented students making clothes out of recycled material. This is also where cosplay fans gets to express their love for their favourite movies, comics and anime with costumes made of soda cans and paper boxes. The Parade is divided into four Houses; Yellow, Green, White and Purple. In the end, Yellow house gets first place in the Go Green Parade. Still, all houses were given hampers and special gifts. Speaking of gifts, there was a Secret Santa Exchange among the Honnets, where they receive gifts from secret givers within the school. While some Honnets get an unexpected gift, overall, they’re happy to receive them. The teachers to

Once again, Honsbridge returns to adventure as they venture into deep, remote rainforests of….Cheras, KL? That’s right, the Honnets are having a field trip to the City Camping Park at Cheras. The Park is located near the Cheras Leisure Mall. Our teachers, Mr Kuldip, Mr Tan, Ms Kok and Mr Jason accompany the Honnets while taking the Honnets on a MRT around 8:30 from our school to the Taman Mutiara station. From there, the Honnets must walk all the way to the Park. Once they’ve arrived at the City Camping Park at 9:00pm, the Honnets were given a program briefing. The camp director, Mr Charlie Ng briefed the Honnets about safety and survival in the jungle. After that, the Honnets were taught to make clove hitches and square lashings. By 11:30am, the Honnets learned to make tables to prepare for cooking lunch. The Park directors taught them how to collect cooking utensils and food rations. Most importantly, the Honnets were taught how to collect firewood and sta

So here it is. The moment of truth. After months of grueling practice, hard-work and determination, our Honnets are prepared for this. The Cambridge IGCSE exams . It will be a week of endurance and challenges as Honnets fight through tough questions and decisions while facing the IGCSE exams. So don’t give up, Honnets! For those who don’t make it, just remember there’s always a second chance in life to be better person. For those do make it, don’t rest on your laurels just yet! There are still tougher challenges ahead beyond school life, so be prepared. Once the exams are over, be ready for a field trip on the 28 th of November as Honnets go for another camping trip. While the City Camping Park in Cheras is not as big as the Lumut trip, it would still be a fun and smaller adventure for the Honnets. Honnets will learn how to cook food, collect firewood and other survival skills. Later, they will play the Low Rope Obstacle course at the camp. Cha

Honsbridge Art Club

Every Monday, starting from 13 th of November, Honsbridge has set up an Art Club with a purpose to instill love and passion for arts and crafts. First Monday begins with our art instructors teaching Honnets teaching shapes and colours through doodling. Doodling, often misunderstood as merely chicken scratching done by immature people, actually has proven to be good for brain development as it helps doodlers remember information better. Doodling may also be one of the better alternatives to fidget spinners or fidgeting with phones. This will prove useful for Honnets later on who will be facing the rigorous challenges of Cambridge IGCSE. Aside from doodling, other activities too will be involved such as painting, sculpture, scrapbooking and of course, drawing. Honnets will also be taught about art history in which they will meet famous artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso and Leonardo Da Vinci. The Honsbridge Art Club helps in bringing out creative and artistic sid
