Since the platform for social and emotional interaction with our retired ACS teachers and staff was initiated by a group of appreciative Old Boys and Old Girls a year ago, five gatherings and outings of various sizes have already taken place.

To kick-off 2019 and also to celebrate its first anniversary, the group organised a pre-Lunar New Year lunch on February 2 for about 50 of our beloved mentors at the New Ubin Seafood restaurant. Among the guests gracing the occasion were the Rev Dr Gordon Wong, President of Trinity Annual Conference, and Mr Richard Seow, Chairman of the ACS Board of Governors.

Judging from the animated exchanges, laughter and noise level, it was evident everyone had a good time catching up with each other and renewing old friendships.

According to Mr Wan Fook Weng, the driving force behind the regular gatherings for the retired teachers, “We are happy with the good turnout which is the largest so far. For this year, we hope to plan a total of six more gatherings and hope to garner more volunteers to come forward to help with financing and logistics. If you wish to come on board to join our team in touching the lives of our mentors, please contact me (c/o 502 Sixth Avenue, Singapore 276586) or Timothy Chew (peltfly@ gmail.com)."
