Attention Sec 4 students! The new year is coming in a few months! Still unsure about which JC to pick? Why not Mugland? Here's a reason why:
Do you know that Mugland is one of the most environmentally friendly schools in Singapore? Yes! We take many measures to ensure we save as much resources as possible! Here are a couple of methods we do so. We share them with you in the hope that you may adopt them also.
[Mugalo Note: The following two methods are real and actual authentic methods used by Mugland]
1. Turn on the air-conditioning only when the Lecture Theatre(LT) is opened, and as students are filing in.
We can cut down on a lot of energy by turning on the air conditioning only when the students enter the LT. Who wants to waste money on cooling down a closed room locked up for the past 12 hours or more with nobody inside? Wait till there are students within, then turn it on. Energy saved! Packing 600 plus students into an enclosed area may raise the temperature slightly but the air conditioning will catch up in about half an hour or so. We have received some letters from the Red Cross and human rights groups, but we would like to assure the public that the students are very happy with this plan and have even petitioned for no air conditioning to be used at all during lectures. This proves how environmentally conscious our students are! We believe that rapidly packing over 600 students in a warm enclosed area does not violate their human rights in any way. Some students have raised issues about this, but they have been, uh, silenced, I mean dealt with.
2. Turn on lights only in complete darkness
We turn on the lights only at 7pm, when it gets too dark to see. This is logical, because students can't mug in complete darkness. But in semi-darkness, students can still see right? So we don't turn on the lights yet. Some students complain it is difficult to do their work, but they are missing the point. (pun intended, ha-ha!) As long as the text is visible you can still mug, and only in total darkness do we help them. This, of course applies to our Atrium, a popular mugging spot. In fact, some students have petitioned to dim the lights to save electricity also, as they believe they can mug in dim conditions. They state that even though it is bad for the eyes, and some need to make new spectacles, they do not mind since it is them who are spending over $100 a few months, and saving money for the school. Another example of our environmentally conscious students. In fact, do you know we actually turn on the toilet lights on BEFORE the atrium lights? This is because we don't want the students to slip, fall, and sue us.

As you can see, you can still see the paper against the table, which indicates a state of semi or incomplete darkness, and does NOT warrant the turning on of lights in the Atrium.
Method 2 in action!
Mugland is also considering holding a 24-hours non-stop "live" concert to raise awareness about global warming. All the 42 student-formed bands in the school will be taking part! It will be called Mug24 and the music they play will be transmitted over the school system and amplifiers around the school, along with a non-stop party going on in the hall with lights and food! The school will be open to the public for these 24 hours so the message of stopping global warming will be spread.
Furthermore, next year, Mugland will also be holding a french fry, hotdog, hamburger, and steak eating contest simultaneously to raise awareness for world hunger. Admittance to both events is free, and the aim is to let others know more about these two worthy causes. There may also be a a student-organised moneylight vigil to raise awareness about poverty in other countries. What's a moneylight vigil? Similar to that of candlelight, in this case we will be burning money and staying awake to make a stand against world poverty. Each participant is required to bring 20 $5 notes to take part in the burning.
