Past
vs Present Games
(28 Feb'15)
Held at
the ACJC and ACS (Independent) campuses, our Old Boys turned up in full force to face the friendly competition of our current students.
Despite the expanding waistlines and receding hairlines, we still managed to turn back the clock to retain the Ang Peng Tiam Challenge trophy for another year! With the exception of Soccer, the rest of the sports were won by the Past teams as technique and experience trumped the youthful exuberance of the Present teams. GO Old Boys!
ACS 129th Founder’s Day Dinner
(1 Mar'15)
The 129th ACS Founder’s Day Dinner was held at Orchard Hotel and more than 1,000 graced the occasion to celebrate God’s abundant blessings upon ACS. As the celebration was in the midst of Chinese New Year, Master-of-Ceremony Mr Morgan Zhou, Vice-Principal of ACS (Junior) led the guest through the “Lo Hei” in Mandarin, debunking the myth that ACS boys are, well, less proficient in Mandarin.
The One ACS Career Forum 2015
(1 Aug'15)
The ACS OBA hosted the annual ONE ACS Career Forum at ACS (Independent) for the students, parents and alumni of the ACS family and the Methodist Girls’ School. This was the 4th time the OBA is organizing this event and it has been inspiring to see it grow in both breadth & depth.
In 2012, we had 4 sessions and 16 speakers. In 2013, we had 5 simultaneous
sessions over 3 time slots to give students greater choice and increase the interface with the speakers in smaller and more focused interest groups. Last year, we introduced a C-suite panel to give students some insight into the thoughts of industry leaders. This year, we expanded the format even further to welcome almost 60 alumni speakers spread over 13 different disciplines and invited 7 local tertiary institutions- NTU, NUS, SIT, SMU, SUTD, and Yale-NUS to speak to students about admissions criteria.
The
presence of local tertiary
institutions also enhanced the
overall experience of the Forum.
Participants were given the
opportunity to engage with the
representatives on such topics
as academic modules offered,
career options, and the criteria
for different careers, in
addition to clarifying queries
on application and selection
requirements.
Retired Teachers’ Tribute Dinner
(1 Sep'15)
The OBA organises this event annually on 1st September, in recognition of the hard work put in by our former teachers of the various ACS schools. This year was especially poignant as we joined Singapore in celebrating SG50 and showing recognition to the many pioneer educators amongst us.
Approximately 80 teachers turned up to celebrate the occasion which was graced by our retired principals and vice principals such as Mr Wan Fook Weng, Mr Peter Joe Chia, Mr Lim Keng Boon, Mr Wee Kim Cheng and Ms Gladys Chia, as well as
representatives from the ACS Board of Governors.
Our guests spent the evening mingling to reminisce and exchange fond memories as well as to share with each other their latest pursuits. The event was rounded off by a rousing rendition of the school anthem, and a group photo-taking of retired teachers and Old Boys present.
In between, our ACS class years have been active with their own reunions, and our ACS schools have never been busier.
