ACS FOUNDER'S DAY CELEBRATIONS

  ACS Celebrates Founder's Day as ONE ACS!

Once again, it was a joyous occasion when the ACS family celebrated its 120th Founder's Day on 01 March. Although the celebrations were held in various locations, the spirit of ONE ACS was in the air.

ACJC

Follow your Dreams - Dr Ng Eng Hen urges ACSians

At ACJC, the Guest-of-Honour, Dr. Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Manpower and 2nd Minister of Defence and an old boy of ACS, called on ACSians to continue in the vein of the college's tradition by stepping up to positions of leadership in our society.

Naming ACJC a "crucible where values are forged and visions stimulated", he urged all students to succeed where their dreams and passions might lead them. The Minister also inspired the students to adopt a spirit of service to others and to make a difference.

Sharing news of ACJC's many achievements in 2005, ACJC Principal Mrs. Kelvyna Chan gave special mention to outstanding graduands, such Brandon Seah Kwee Boon, the top student of 2004 with 8 distinctions and winner of the Khoo Teck Khee award. She also disclosed the good news that two ACJC students had done exceedingly well to achieve 9 distinctions in the 2005 A Level Examinations. This roused the college to wholehearted cheers and anticipation palpably, for the results for the A Level exams were to be released later that very day!

Much of the proceedings were devoted to awarding recognition to students who had excelled in the GCE 'A' Examinations 2004 and the top achievers of the JC1 Promotional Examinations 2005. As generations of ACSians stood to sing the soaring hymns and school anthem, many a heart was left touched by the mercy and faithfulness of the Lord for the many good years.

On this happy occasion, the students and guests also witnessed the site dedication of the Centre for Performing Arts, which is another milestone in ACJC's arts culture.
