Founder's Day @ Barker RoadMr T. Raja Kumar, Deputy Secretary (International) at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Chief Executive of the Home Team Academy, was the Guest of Honour at this year’s 130th celebration of the founding of ACS. Also gracing the occasion were Ms Yap Su-Yin, CEO of the Tan Chin Tuan Foundation, Ms Lydia Yam, Chairman of our school’s parent support group, Family@Barker, Mr Lau Cheng Hock of the ACS BOG, Mr Paul Lee of the ACS OBA and Rev Edmund Koh. We were also pleased to welcome a number of our graduates who had returned to receive prizes and awards in recognition of their academic achievements and contributions towards their alma mater.

As with the other ACS schools, part of the celebrations was the Blood Donation Drive. We had ours together with ACS (Primary) on 27 February and collected 92 bags of blood mostly from parents, staff and alumni as almost all our students are below 16 years of age. However, our Sec 2 to 4 monitors were present to provide support service during the day. Current students and old boys also put up performances throughout the day to bring in the crowd. ACS Homecoming was held on the same day so that more would come in to support this worthwhile cause.

An old boy, Lee Song Xuan, presented a gift of art to the school. He captured the essence of the theme verse with his depiction of the chimera from our school crest on the large wall outside The Hub and Art Studio.

We now look forward to the next 130 years with confidence, in the certain knowledge that God is watching over us at all times and our unshakeable belief that ‘The Best Is Yet To Be’.
