TKSS Graduation Ceremony 2020

~ Article Contributed by Lianny Harianto 

2020 is a challenging year for everyone and this is no exception for our students. Despite the Home-Based Learning they had to experience this year, we believed that our students, especially the Sec 4s, have worked hard to strive their best in achieving their goals. 

To lift up their spirits during this difficult year, the TKSS Parent Support Group has been giving moral support to them by preparing a Bookmark with some words of encouragement. 

As "Class of ACUITY" was the tagline for this year's cohort, we made acronyms from the word "ACUITY". We hope it would inspire and lead the students to carry a more positive attitude towards their future. 

Other than the bookmark, we also prepared a souvenir for them. The school's name, logo and the tagline were printed on a Gym Pouch as a memento. 

The gifts were presented to the students during their Graduation Ceremony which was held on Oct 2, 2020. 

We wish our students all the best for their future endeavours and hope they succeed in all that they do.

Last but not least, the TKSS Parent Support Group deeply appreciate and would like to thank the School Leaders, Teachers and Staff of TKSS for nurturing, grooming and educating our children with their love, care, and passion. This would not have been possible without their dedication.

                                                                     

TKSS Teachers Day 2020

Can you recall a Teacher who made a difference in your life?

Many of us have encountered at least one or more inspiring teacher who have supported our dreams and made our time in school that much brighter.  Indeed many teachers have changed the course of many a student’s life, boosted their confidence and self-esteem and walked them through a difficult stage of their lives. 

The TK PSG committee was given the privilege to express our gratitude to the Management and Staff of TKSS during this extraordinary COVID-19 year – though a small gift bag.  We wanted to convey our gratitude with regards of health and wellness so the team came up with three items – a portable USB fan, a fruit and a snack bar all packed in an unassuming brown bag sealed with our short “Happy Teachers’ Day” sticker.    This is my tenth time packing Teachers’ day presents as a parent.  Each time a different group of parents gather and as we pack, the same conversation will unfold as we exchange fond memories of our own time as a student and the teachers who left an indelible mark at each stage of our growing-up years.  I find myself thanking silently in my heart - all the teachers who have encouraged me, guided me and how I have lost contact with them in a time not so long ago when mobile phones did not exist. 

It is a simple sentence – Happy Teachers’ Day – it culminates many grateful thoughts as a student as a parent and maybe later in life as a grandparent.    

It is a simple brown bag – it culminates the gratitude and regards from all TK parents to all the Management and Staff of TKSS who spend more time with our children and who have tirelessly helped chisel, mold and shape our children’s lives for the better.

Thank you from all of us at TKSS.
