It was an event of great importance. Education then was not easily available to the local children. It was highly treasured. The few schools around were either Government Schools or Mission Schools run by Churches catering for a select few. Our school was originally called Anglo Chinese Pree School - a very descriptive and prescriptive name. In its early days, our school was the only school founded by a Chinese, teaching boys in both Chinese and English. Bilingualism was appreciated even in those early days of our history. The founding of a school is like the planting of a seed - its survival and future is at best uncertain. It required constant nurturing and support by the community around it. Fortunately, for our school, such support from the community was forthcoming. Three years after its founding, it became an aided school and shortly after was given land by the Colonial Government for a new building. The Colonial Governor himself opened the new building in 1893, and the school was renamed Gan Eng Seng School.

    ST JOHN SINGAPORE DEMENTIA DAY CARE CENTRE SM Priory of Singapore St John Singapore %=.#,-"+4+"+)!# OUR ACTIVITIES !!!! !! !! ! ANNUAL REPORT !! !! ! 2018 !! !!! !!!!!!! !!!! !!!!! ! MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Annual Report 2018 Message from Chairman, National St John Council Prior, Priory of Singapore I am pleased to report the successful completion and usage of our brand new 3-storey extension building within our premise. The ground floor offers Dementia day care for our folks suffering from dementia. The St John Day Care Dementia Centre is accredited by the Ministry of Health and those who qualified for Government subventions can get as high as eighty percent (80%) of the Government subsidies. We enroll clients of all races and religions and provide non pork meals. We are thankful to the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) for providing us the necessary support and assistance. What distinguishes us from the other Dementia Centres is our Dementia Centre Garden where Dementia Clients, if they so desire, can spend time planting, watering their own plants. The rest can spend some time daily in the garden to enjoy the fresh air and greenery. The new parade square which doubles up as carpark space, is well patronized by our cadets especially during weekends. This is what it was meant to be, to provide a meeting point for our cadets to conduct their activities and use the parade ground. Hopefully when the cadets grow up to be adults, they will have fond memories of the days in St John Headquarters. Our HQ building renovation project is near completion and our building now has a new roof replacing the old asbestos roof and new coat of paint.

  • Annual Report 2014
    Message from Chairman, National St John Council Annual Report 2014 2014 has been a busy and activities filled year for St. John Singapore. We were elevated to a Priory status on 11th January 2014 at a solemn typically English traditional ceremony in the British High Commission and officiated by the Lord Prior, Prof Anthony Mellows. The ceremony was also attended and blessed by our Spiritual Counsellors of the 4 major faiths – Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity. As a Priory, Singapore St. John plays a more important role now in the Order of St. John. As a Prior, I am now a member of the Grand Council, the Governing Body of the Order of St. John. Singapore now plays a role in charting the worldwide activities of the St. John movement through the Grand Council. New members were invited (as part of the rejuvenation process) and have joined the National St. John Council, Singapore in 2014. They are Dr Vincent Chia, Ms Michelle Kwong, Mr Alex Yeo and Mr William Leong. I am certain they will contribute to the growth of the St. John movement locally and internationally. St. John Singapore will be looking at opportunities to do voluntary charity works in neighbouring countries where St. John organisation does not exists namely in Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Our new extension building block (to house the Rehab and Elder Care Centres) is still on track though at a slow pace due to problems encountered with the appointed building contractor. I would like to thank the following arms of our movement for their active contributions: 1) The St.
