Horizon Alumni Committee

About The Logo:

We, the alumni committee, have created this icon whereby we chose to use the school’s mascot, the “geese” to represent the alumni members. Firstly, there are twelve geese, this represents the core alumni committee as there are twelve of us. Geese are migratory birds that fly across countries for warmth. When they fly, they form a “V” shape. It allows them to fly faster compared to flying alone. This shows that teamwork allows us to progress faster and at a more efficient pace. When a goose is tired, it will fly to the back to the formation and let another goose lead the way.

This shows that all of us are leaders and capable of leading one another. It also depicts that we are strong and united, as well as a humble team as we know when to let others have their turns to lead. We learn from others to improve ourselves. Geese also honk from behind to encourage those who are flying in front and when a goose falls behind, two other geese will accompany it till it catches up with the rest. This shows that we care and show compassion towards one another. It also tells others that we would always be willing to give anyone a helping hand.

In conclusion, the icon shows that we are all strong individuals with leadership qualities as well as a harmonious team that will love to help others out and listen to one and another’s advice. Hence, we chose the geese to be part of this icon.

Next, the colour of the bird: red, purple, yellow and blue. These colours stand for the houses: Respect, Integrity, Compassion and Excellence respectively. This gives others the message that they should expect these values in us. Last but not least, the school logo along with the word “Horizon Alumni” is to show that we are still part of Horizon Primary School.

Words From The People In The Alumni Committee:

What inspired me to come back to Horizon Primary School was not only the opportunity to give back to the school, but also the prospect of being able to work together with all other alumni. In addition to our shared experience in this primary school, we have all also grown to be our own person in further institutions, so I thought it might be worth discovering what a group of people with similar yet contrasting experiences might be able to create together. The older ones share their reliable and consistent insights and experience, while the younger ones brainstorm up bolder ideas to push our committee to newer heights as well as enhance the benefits received by our juniors whom we are supporting in all ways. In retrospect, indeed, I was proven right! 
- Olivia [Secretary]

Joining the committee was my way of giving back to the six memorable years that I had spent in Horizon. It was a way of keeping in touch with friends and teachers who have shaped me, a chance to connect with the future students of Horizon and provide some novel insights for the post-primary route and to nurture my leadership and organisation capabilities. I'm excited to see not only the future of Horizon and all of the alumni who continue to make an impact but also the multiple opportunities the current committee can provide for current students to better help them shape their future!

- Shyanne [Treasurer]

For me personally, I decided to join the committee as I wanted to give back to the school that has given me so much during my 6 years there and has taught me values and habits that I still practice to this day. Being on the committee so far has allowed me to develop my leadership and planning competency while allowing me to reconnect with my friends and ex-teachers from the school with whom I have shared very dear childhood memories. Looking towards the future, I hope that we, the Alumni committee,  will be able to bring back more Alumni to reconnect with their friends, ex-teachers, and the school and encourage them to give back to the school!
- Jedidiah [Vice Chairperson]

Originally, I joined this committee to better myself through the numerous opportunities and experiences provided. The 6 years I have had studying in Horizon motivated me to join this committee in order to express my gratitude while giving back to my juniors. The years I have spent working with the teachers and the rest of the committee to establish connections within the alumni have taught me many valuable skills and it has been a truly memorable experience. Hence, I've decided to continue my work as the chairperson with the additional desire to provide support in nurturing the next batch of leaders in this committee. Overall, I hope to give the current students and past batches the platform they need to network and bond after graduation.
