Coming of Age

Metamorphosis Coming of Age
It was supposed to be a graduation CD done by

the class for the class so that they will something
to remind them of the good times and bad they
had spent in PHS, their alma mater..
And they did.. Look.. Here’s proof that they

were working on something..
And when their Form-Teacher for 3 years took a

look at their something, she was so impressed
with it that she decided to chip in her bit to
make it better as a parting gift for her
favourite class.
But how can she tell the story of 5

Compassion without talking about how it
all got started?
First, there was 3 Devotion.

Somewhere along the way, the class got split

into 2 classes to make learning more
conducive and thus more effective..

Other events that took place that year

included the International Friendship day
and of course ‘N’ Levels. The year passed
very fast indeed and we parted ways soon
after our graduation.
Aha! And now for the story proper that

towards my goal.
I am very grateful for the conducive learning
environment and facilities PHS has provided for
me. It is a place where I grew in learning how to
handle my emotions; a place I got in touch with
my spiritual life. Throughout these 5 years, all
the teachers I came in contact with had taught
me the different core values the school has. It
has helped to guide me on the road towards
being a person worthy of God and Man. PHS is a
place I will remember as long as I live simply
because of the many people I came to know.. the
teachers, classmates and even non-teaching
staff. We're just like a one big family, always
standing by each other, something I never fail to

Personally, I feel that I’ve benefited much from
PHS because I have learnt many values such as
humility, steadfastness, and prudence. In return,
I think that I’ve served the school by doing my
best in the ‘O’ levels. In my opinion, I think that
my class & I get along very well in the sense that
my classmates are very warm and friendly to
communicate with. We share joy and laughter
together through these years and push ourselves
in this competitive environment to achieve good
results for ourselves. One other thing about my
class is that we are very positive in our ways and
