2008 saw great changes in the Alumnae Association Executive Committee. With three long serving members retiring from office to make way for three energetic fellow alumnae, new life was injected into our team. We always believe that the diverse background and experience of the Committee members will add new dimensions to our work. The Association aims to provide a network for all the graduates as well as to support our alma mater and our younger sisters at school through participating in various school functions and organizing different events for both alumnae and young Holy Familians. To complement the school’s effort in fostering student growth, we organize career development activities like Mock Interview for the S5 to S7 schoolmates, and the All-Rounder Award Competition that promotes initiative and all-round development. Experience sharing talks and regular chats with individual alumnae are other occasions when the students obtain advice and help when making plans and decisions about their academic and career paths. Our support for student betterment also takes the form of financial contribution. In 2008, we initiated the AA Scholarship for Academic Award to encourage students to excel in their studies, and for the less well-off students to have the opportunity to broaden their horizons, starting in 2007, we provide annual sponsorship for educational trips to selected students. In preparation for the new academic structure, our Association donated a TV set to the school so that the students can keep abreast of the development in the world by watching news in the covered playground during lunch time. To promote the unity and fellowship among our alumnae, our Association hosts an annual dinner around March every year. It is no easy task to organize a party for over 100 people. Yet, when we hear the laughter and see the smiles and hugs as the graduates meet their friends and teachers, all the hard work pays off. Indeed, we are grateful for the recognition and support we receive as evidenced by the helping hands extended by our alumnae and our little sisters’ active participation. We will continue to tap into our network to achieve our goals, and we hope that every one of our graduates will contribute in strengthening the bond among us and with our alma mater.
