At the start of the new academic year 2022-23, we welcomed a number of new Primary and<br />
Secondary teachers. By way of introduction to the school community, we asked them to share with<br />
us their desert island discs; special songs that they would take with them if stranded on a desert<br />
island! Why not get to know our new teachers better, by listening to their recommended tracks that<br />
help them to ‘focus on the good’!<br />

Colours of the Wind, Judy Kuhn<br />
This song is actually one of the soundtracks from the<br />
Disney movie ‘Pocahontas’. I know about the song<br />
from many other cover versions! Both the melody and<br />
lyrics of the song are amazing! It’s about appreciating<br />
nature. It might give us a positive mindset especially<br />
when we are stranded on a desert island!<br />

Circle of Life (Theme song of “Lion King”),<br />
Elton John<br />
It brings the imagery of sunrise on the African Safari, which<br />
gives me joy. This beautiful song celebrates life and sparks<br />
hope, just as the lyrics says, “through despair and hope, through<br />
faith and love, … on the path unwinding in the circle of life.”<br />

That’s the Power, Hillsong Worship<br />
This song with wonderful lyrics and melody just simply<br />
goes straight to my soul. It heals me whenever I feel<br />
overwhelmed and upset. It also reminds us that we can<br />
put our hope in God when we feel hopeless. This song<br />
is highly recommended!<br />

Another Day of Sun (Theme song of “La La<br />
Land”)<br />
This is the song from the opening dance scene of one of my<br />
favourite musical movies. People of all cultures and races sing<br />
and dance about their aspirations to achieve their dreams. A very<br />
upbeat song that always lifts my spirit.<br />

Outsider Rodeo, Raise a Suilen<br />
For those of us who think they don't fit in and for those of us who lack self-confidence. "<br />
You are perfect from the day you are born." Don't give in to the negativity and slander from<br />
others. Stand tall, be proud of your own strengths, and strive to improve your<br />
shortcomings.<br />
Ms Shannon Lai<br />
Secondary DT Teacher<br />
In Case You Don't Live Forever, Ben Platt<br />
Everyone has a special someone, may it be your mentor, your family or your friend. Live in<br />
the moment, cherish those that are close to you. In case they don't live forever, tell them<br />
the truth. Because you are everything that you are because of them, that pieces of you are<br />
pieces of them.<br />
