EAS Day 2024
Blangah Rise Primary School marked EAS Day 2024 to honour its non-teaching staff through student tributes, games, and a wellness activity.
We commemorated EAS Day 2024, an event dedicated to honouring the unsung heroes of the school – the non-teaching staff. Into its fifth year, the annual commemoration was organised under the theme A.C.E., which stands for Appreciation, Cohesion, and Engagement, emphasising the school’s deep commitment to recognising the invaluable contributions of its non-teaching staff which comprises administration and operations staff, security officers, ICT personnel, teaching support staff, and school cleaners.
The commemoration started with a school assembly where the essential role of the EAS staff was highlighted via a purposeful video tribute, and an exciting games segment that fostered a strong sense of unity between students and the non-teaching staff.
In the week leading up to EAS Day, students were actively involved in expressing their gratitude by crafting personalised thank-you cards and notes of appreciation. These heartfelt messages were displayed prominently in the school canteen, serving as a symbol of students' appreciation. A care pack containing snacks and a thank-you card were also distributed to each EAS officer, symbolising the school’s gratitude for their unwavering support.
The commemoration concluded with a wellness activity, where student leaders facilitated a therapeutic Art session, offering the EAS staff a moment to unwind and engage in creative expression.
Natalie from Primary 5 Topaz reflected on the significance of EAS Day, emphasising the hard work and dedication of the non-teaching staff who contribute immensely to creating a positive school environment. She shared her pride in being part of the wellness activity, viewing it as a meaningful opportunity to connect with the EAS staff.
Kai Ting from Primary 4 Sapphire echoed this sentiment, expressing that even small gestures, such as writing a simple thank-you card, can bring immense joy. She felt grateful for the chance to convey her appreciation to the staff through the cards she lovingly crafted.
EAS Day 2024 was a reminder of the important roles that all members of the school community play in making Blangah Rise Primary School a nurturing and welcoming environment for everyone.
