It is great to belong to such a coring, challenging, and successful family. MS USHA JEYARAJAH, Head of Dept The true essence of education is having an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, discovery, and experience. St Nicholas first quenches, and then creates a greater thirst. MS TAN SHU-WEI, Alumna & Head of Dept When I was a student here, the commitment and dedication of my teachers left a deep impression on me. Now as a teacher here, the commitment and dedication of my students leave a deep impression on me. My conclusion： at St Nicholas, students and teachers inspire each other with their passion. MRS HOO BOON LENG, Subject Head St Nicholas is my second home. Being among caring and helpful colleagues, I feel warmth and cosiness. With students eager to be taught, I find meaning in being a teacher. MRS KOH MING HWEE, Alumna & Teacher Life in St Nicholas is truly vibrant and exciting. The challenge is to embrace change as a constant. MRS CHUA LERN HUN, Administration Manager St Nicholas has changed my perception of what an educational institution should be. Here I find not only a haven for learning and achievement, but also an environment that has nurtured my confidence. I take pride in my career with St Nicholas. Credit must go to the inspiring teachers and students. OUR share their thoughts YONG HUI, Head Monitor 2003 The steadfastness and morality imbued in us account for the very distinct St Nicholas spirit. Having spent ten years in this school, I can candidly proclaim that the sisterly bonds ANGELYN CHENG, Class of 2004 forged among us, the urn of creativity blasting St Nicholas has been and always will be within us, the multitasking ability and leadership a second home to me. The inexplicable positions held by us, and the zesty St Nicholas warmth I feel when I am there is something aura all around us are one-of-a-kind. Life here I know can never be replicated elsewhere. has definitely been an unbeatable experience. It has been a blessing to have spent four years in a place that I know will never close its doors to me. GLORIA LEE, Class of 2002 Our teachers counselled us when we were down, stood by us when we were mistreated, rallied behind us in our good decisions, and were there to help us through the consequences of the bad ones. They taught lessons, life's lessons. When we were overconfident, they warned: There is nothing so headstrong as youth and so blind as inexperience.' And when the darkened hours of despair overcame us, they told us: 'No-one can choose your mountain or tell you where to climb. It's yours to challenge at your own pace and time.' And we did.
