On June 13, SABS Grade 9 students rallied under the motto "Aspire Higher, Advance Farther, Embrace Infinity". Principal Gloria Gong encouraged them to face challenges like sunflowers, tying red blessing bracelets on each student. They then leapt to touch suspended zongzi (homophone for "academic success").

During exams (June 14-15), Principal Gong led teachers in red attire to greet candidates daily. Through silent hugs and firm handshakes, they channeled strength into every student. This unwavering support fueled the examinees’ confidence as they embarked on their academic battles.
