Hi everyone, especially those who have remained with me, waiting so patiently for updates. You deserve another year's collection of photos - 2011 people and events. I have finally 'retired' and am expected to be FREE now to be up-to-date in Centre activities and keeping in touch! To keep me focused I am posting this. My CNY break will be set aside for this blog. So be hearing from me in a couple of weeks. May I wish God's blessings on all who celebrate Chinese New Year - may the dragon bring you true happiness and fulfilment.
Bro. Matt.

Our 2009 Literacy Class for Form One students , St. Michael's, came to an end on Wednesday 29 July with the graduation of the final class of students (most probably).

On Wednesday 29 July they had fun activities with their teachers, were awarded certificates of participation and rounded the day off with ice-cream. Sincere thanks to their Form 1 Moderator, Mrs Lim, and the two main organisers, Vincent and Suk Wai, and the rest of the dedicated teachers from the 6th Form.
