2. Heart to Heart “The theme for the Sec 1 Orientation 2007 is drawn from a line in the school anthem, ‘So heart to heart, we’ll scale the heights of learning’. You will discover this to be true for you over the next 4 years in RGS, as your seniors and alumni before you had; the warmth of friendship and the joy that comes from learning and growing together with other members of the RGS family.” Mrs Deborah Tan Former Principal of RGS Sec 1 Orientation 2007 (Programme Booklet)

12. Verse 1: Walking down the Rafflesian Road The only one we’ve ever known Bidding farewell to the place that we’ve Always called home Looking back on the times we’ve spent And where we are today I’m filled with tears and joy but there's something I wanna say Chorus: Hand in Hand All our memories, are binding into one Hand in Hand On a journey, that has only just begun Though it may be long and tough I will always know We will be hand in hand Verse 2: Friends and family by my side All along the way No matter what I went through You were always there to stay These four years have formed a bond That I’ll always keep with me There’s nothing more important than the Bittersweet memories Hand in Hand Music and Lyrics by Nicole Rosenberger(406), Law Zhi Tian (406)Sung by Nicole Rosenberger(406), Esther-Marie Resme Cheriyan(406) Chorus: Hand in Hand All our memories, are binding into one Hand in Hand On a journey, that has only just begun Though it may be long and tough I will always know We will be... Bridge: Heart to heart Its all about making a start To paint the dreams you wanna see Chorus: Hand in Hand All our memories, are binding into one Hand in Hand On a journey, that has only just begun Though it may be long and tough I will always know We will be, we will always be We will be Hand in hand Chorus: Hand in Hand All our memories, are binding into one Hand in Hand On a journey, that has only just begun Though it may be long and tough I will always know We will be hand in hand Verse 3: Down the road we may return To find that things have changed The people we knew the places we’ve been to Will they stay the same The warmth of a hug The songs we have sung Will we still sing them again So tuck these moments in your heart Never let them slip away

13. Hey sisters it’s been 4 years [Reply: Yeah sisters, it’s been 4 years!] Hey sisters it’s been 4 years A really funky awesome wacky cool 4 years Year 1 ** We step in here New hopes new dreams that we hold dear Year 2 ** We now love school Time to choose the subjects we wanna do Year 3 ** OBS and seas Don’t we love the camaraderie Year 4 ** Feels like a war But these years were never a bore Chorus: From heart to heart, we’re sisters in learning Monet to Descartes, we master all things In this whole journey of chances galore We woke at six and slept at four On Mount Olympus was our flame ignited Passion that burns with spirits lighted As we go forth to the ends of the earth We will pass on this legacy of love Bridge: Have we not lived Have we not loved Have we not soared in the skies above Have we not lived Have we not loved Have we not… Chorus From heart to heart, we’re sisters in learningMusic and Lyrics by Laura Lim(414), Dionne Ng(414), Vivian Lian(414) and Yu Lidan (414)

14. Student: Oh, must this be? Is this the end? After this day, will I Really leave these things behind? Teacher: Don’t you cry! Look at the sky, oh Can’t you see it Smiling down at you? Student: No, I thought we would be forever! Why must we part this way? Teacher: But dearest child, you can’t look back You’ve lived your whole life for this day… CHORUS Sometimes it’s painful I know Watching these memories die But till you learn to let go, You’ll never know how to fly Birds don’t forget how to sing No matter how far they might stray Don’t you know, there are some things That time can’t take away From you (Instrumental interlude) Oh, it’s CHORUS Teacher:  Painful I know Watching these memories die But till you learn to let go, You’ll never know how to fly Birds don’t forget how to sing No matter how far they might stray Don’t you know, there are some things That time can’t take away Student:  I’ll learn to let go These memories don’t have to die ‘Cause wherever I go We’re under the same blue sky You have taught me to sing— And someday, I’ll find you that song! Both: This is farewell, I suppose But then who said this is the end? So long… Fly Away Music and Lyrics by Tessa Low Yun (410) Child, you must know this nest is Merely a place to rest and Learn, learn to be strong Some day, when you have flown This, I have always known I’ll pray, you find a place you belong Yes it’s CHORUS Painful I know Watching these memories die But wherever you go, We’re under the same blue sky You must go! You must leave this nest Take flight, see the very best Of life, seek out that echoing song! Student: Am I ready, am I too weak? Will I find this song I seek? Somehow, I fear to lose my way How can I let the wind whisk me away? Teacher: Trust yourself Student: You’ve taught me well Teacher: Take the sky Student: Trust your compass
