TKGS hosted a Chinese New Year celebration to usher in the year of the Dragon. We invited parents as well as senior residents from Mountbatten to join in the festivities.

To kick start the celebrations, our students unleashed their creativity with dragon themed decor for their classrooms. They also put together hampers for our invited guests. Next, was a reunion class breakfast to enjoy delicious treats and strengthen bonds with their classmates and teachers.

Following the class activities, we convened in the hall for a concert brimming with various performances, including calligraphy, martial arts, acapella by our own students, and a cultural dance performance by the Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre. An unexpected highlight was the appearance of our TKGS alumnus - Loh Xuan Yan, Carys of class 2023 who treated us to a medley of Chinese New Year songs.

The celebration ended on a high note, with the gifting of oranges, representing prosperity and happiness, to our staff, seniors, and parents. It was an unforgettable event filled with meaningful conversations and gratitude.
