Events & Activities

During the week of 7 to 11 October, students and staff came together to celebrate, to learn more about and to participate in Wellness. In the three weeks leading up to this week, tutor time sessions saw Years 1, 2, 3 and 5 students learn about the four strands of wellness. We started with a general definition of each strand and learned how to balance the individual strands and how to keep them balanced. Students created informative posters and designed interactive activities that they used in week 4 to share their knowledge and help their peers learn more about wellness.

On 4 October, along with participants from other schools around Singapore, we each received the National Youth Achievement Gold Award in a presentation ceremony graced by Mdm President Halimah Yacob. The ceremony was imbued with driven awardees from all walks of life and their elaborate, sustainable projects to serve the country and community in the most consequential ways possible.

On 21 September, ACS Oldham Hall hosted its annual Thanksgiving Dinner. The Guest of Honour was Bishop Dr Chong Chin Chung and the theme for the event was “Salut” (Honouring with a grateful heart).

The 2019 Barrett Music Competition was held on 28 August at a new venue — The Sitorus Library, a cosy and conducive environment for teaching and studying — as well as for the appreciation of fine music! And such a unique performance venue reminds one of the idea of a chamber performance, to    the likes of Mozart and many other composers in the Classical Period!

Merged in 2016, ACS (International)'s very own Philharmonic Orchestra has an impressive number of performances and accolades under its belt, performing regularly for major school events such as Founder's Day and Graduation Night, as well as travelling abroad on various concert tours to Japan, America, Italy, Austria, France and the Netherlands. Furthermore, the Philharmonic Orchestra goes the extra mile to host and perform its own annual concert, such as 2016's Strings Concert (in collaboration with the Gu Zheng Ensemble), 2017's Go West!, and 2018's Melody Fantasy.
