1 March 2016 Imagine ACS (Primary) in 2030? Well, that was what pupils were asked to do for the Creative Learner Challenge, organised by the Library and the Creativity Committees, as a lead-up activity to Founder’s Day. 28 creative Lego works were the result and these were showcased to VIPs at a small reception, later to be exhibited in school for a week.

We were privileged to have Mr Lui Tuck Yew, a Distinguished Old Boy and the former Minister for Transport, as our Guest-of-Honour at the celebrations, to call to mind the legacy of Bishop Oldham in the past, and to salute the present achievements of outstanding pupils and staff.

The Lee Hah Ing Scholarship and ACS OBA Meritorious Award (Gold) were presented to Goh Shen Ee Matthew (P6I 2015) while the Tan Khung Ngee Scholarship went to Joash Chow (P6D 2015). Ms Kogilavani was honoured with the ACS OBA Outstanding Teacher Award In Loving Memory of Sandy Eu, and Mdm Jasmine Kaur was named the inaugural ACS(P) PSG CARE iHOPEFUL Educator.

Two events preceded Founder’s Day this year – the inaugural Founder’s Day Commemorative Service on 29 February, and the blood donation drive on 27 February that marked the conclusion of ONE ACS SG50 ACtS of Service. The service took pupils down memory lane in the history of ACS (Primary), reinforced by games and food stalls – all designed around ACS (Primary) themes – set up by the PSG for pupils to enjoy over an extended recess. At the blood donation drive, some 90 supporters responded to the personalised invitation cards of our pupils.
