The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls.

  • Fellow Victorians Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening, Since
    Fellow Victorians Ladies and Gentlemen, Good Evening, Since we are among friends, I hope that you will forgive me if I do not begin by recognising all the persons who should be recognised. It is many years since I last attended an Old Victorian’s dinner. So it is good to come again and see how many of my generation are here. A gathering of alumni from a secondary school is rather unusual. If you get to my age, in the seventies, you ask yourself what is so special about the very few years, not exceeding 5 years of your life that you spend in a secondary school or junior college. What kind of person you are today have been more shaped and influenced by your years after secondary school, either in further studies or in your livelihood or in your responsibility as spouse or parent or grandparent. What then is so significant about the few years that we spend in secondary school or in junior college that many of us have this desire to get back together with our friends from youth? I myself was in Victoria School from 1951 to early 1956. When I was doing my O levels in 1954 a group of 12 of us formed a study group. We are all in different professions and two of us have passed away in the last two years. Yet every year we still meet at least once a year with our spouses over dinner. That may be why I have not attended the OVA gatherings as often as I should.

Since its inception in 1951, the Public Service Commission (PSC) has served as the custodian of these values for the Singapore Public Service. Th ey provide the foundation for PSC’s mission in appointing and promoting public offi cers, deciding on disciplinary matters and appeals for promotions, as well as selecting scholars. However, the PSC recognizes that a forward-looking Public Service needs to adapt to, and Ieven be a few steps ahead of, the changing environment. Over the last 58 years, the PSC has changed in order to ensure that the Singapore Public Service remains the employer of choice and continues to attract its fair share of Singapore’s talent. In 2008, PSC launched the internship programme for Junior College (JC) students. Th e internship is meant to enthuse top JC students to take up PSC scholarships and work in the civil service. Th e programme comprises work attachments to government agencies, learning journeys and dialogue sessions with senior civil servants. In all, 59 students and 14 agencies participated in the inaugural programme. Projects ranged from studying casino-related off ences to developing training materials for aviation psychologists – a refl ection of the scope and complexity of public administration in Singapore.

  • Recollect the Stories of World War II. Learn About Mount Faber and Sentosa's Military Encampment, Underground
    \ `` A Media Release by My Community Embargoed until 7am on 9 May 2019 RECOLLECT THE STORIES OF WORLD WAR II THROUGH THE MILITARY ENCAMPMENT, UNDERGROUND COMPLEXES AND SECRET RESERVOIRS AT MOUNT FABER AND SENTOSA Singapore, 3 May 2019 – Mount Faber and Sentosa are known for their expansive tourist offerings including the cable car, beaches and integrated resorts (IRs), but do you know that the area was home to several key military encampments and underground complexes during World War II? At Mount Faber, a fort comprising a signal station, gun batteries and plotting room was constructed to coordinate Singapore’s various artillery batteries such as Buona Vista, Pasir Panjang, Labrador, Siloso, Serapong, Connaught and Silingsing in the event of an invasion. In Sentosa, the defunct Fort Serapong was equipped with 7-inch guns, 64 pounders and a command centre for close combat battles and guarding the island against amphibious attacks. Both the underground chambers and military complexes at Mount Faber and Fort Serapong would be officially opened to the public for the first time in the upcoming heritage tour, My Mount Faber & Sentosa Heritage Tour. 2 My Mount Faber & Sentosa Heritage Tour explores the secret reservoirs, underground chambers and military complexes constructed by the British to defend Singapore against pirates and military invasion. The guided tour weaves in interesting anecdotes from former residents at Mount Faber and military personnel stationed in Sentosa. The tour also provides an excellent opportunity for Singaporeans to discover the history and heritage of Mount Faber and Sentosa beyond its tourist-centric programmes. The tour is one of the nine guided tours developed and organised by civic organisation My Community and is supported by Sentosa Development Corporation and Anglo-Chinese School (International).
