The Covid-19 virus outbreak has taken a heavy toll on businesses and economies around the world. In the schools, many activities
were curtailed to minimise the risk of potential exposure and for the first time, this year’s ACSOBA Past vs Present Games and
Founder’s Day Dinner were cancelled.
However, these setbacks did not deter ACSians from gathering in smaller groups to remember the founding of our beloved alma
mater. It was heart-warming to see photographs and video clips on social media of ACSians all over the world remembering and
giving thanks to our pioneers, past and present teachers and principals, benefactors and stakeholders of the school, and especially
God for His grace, love and abundant blessings.
This year, Founder’s Day celebrations overseas included London, Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane, Jakarta and for the first time,
Sydney, Adelaide, Cambridge and Toronto. Celebrations may have taken place in other cities that we do not know about but what
we are certain is that the 1st of March is always remembered by many who have passed through the portals of ACS.

GO-KARTING
ON FOUNDER'S DAY
After last year’s successful event
at Red Dynasty Paintball Park, the
adventuresome group from the Class of
84 headed up north to Malaysia’s X Park
Sunway Iskandar to celebrate this year’s
134th ACS Founder’s Day.
Jeremy Thow, the organising member
of the group, said, “As we have been
meeting every Saturday morning at
6.30am for a jog around Bishan Park to
keep fit and to catch up over breakfast,
we thought it would be fun to celebrate
this year’s Founder’s Day with a Go-Kart
challenge.”
And indeed, a great time they had! Besides the
adrenaline pumping race, there were
opportunities for fellowship and sumptuous meals
to cap off the day.
