Breakfast with Dads
Over 50 father–son pairs attended the Breakfast with Dad event on 7 February 2026, organised by Dads for Life and the Parent Support Group (PSG). The morning kicked off with fun icebreakers and games, after which the boys prepared breakfast to share with their fathers. One particularly heartwarming activity had the boys listening closely to identify their father’s voices amongst the crowd. The event wrapped up with a light-hearted quiz that helped the fathers and sons to learn more about each other and deepen their bond.
Chinese New Year Fun at ACS (Primary) 🧧🎉
Recess turned into a mini Chinese New Year carnival as the boys enjoyed a range of fun, hands-on activities. Three craft stations were set up by our dedicated parent volunteers, and each brought on a ton of excitement.
The boys rolled oranges using netting, created colourful rattle drums, and practiced Chinese calligraphy by writing festive New Year greetings on bookmarks. They threw themselves into the activities with great enthusiasm, proudly showing off their creations while eagerly moving from station to station. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, chatter, and plenty of festive cheer. The orange-rolling activity proved to be the clear crowd favourite, with all of the oranges disappearing in no time!
The excitement carried on beyond the day itself. The following day, many boys came back asking if they could repeat the same activities- a true sign of how much they enjoyed the celebration. Through play, creativity, and shared joy, the boys gained a deeper appreciation of Chinese traditions while celebrating the spirit of the Lunar New Year together.
Happy Founders Day 2026 – ACS (Primary) PSG
Dear ACSians, Parents/Guardians and Friends of the ACS Family,
One hundred and forty years ago, a small seed was planted by Bishop William Fitzjames Oldham – an act of faith that grew into the ACS we cherish today. Its branches now shelter generations of ACSians who learn not only to excel, but to love, to serve, and to stand tall for what is right, to fulfil that vision to be a beacon of truth and light.
Today, ACSians all over the world gather in spirit to honour that vision and celebrate the fruits of that foundation. You may encounter the annual phenomenon of the school flag / badge taking over social media profile pictures and the ACS anthem being belted out in some restaurants — I may be doing both.
At ACS (Primary), we are privileged to witness this legacy renewed each day. Our boys learn to pursue excellence with humility, to lead with integrity, and to serve with grateful hearts. These are not merely aspirations, but the lived heritage of a school built on the conviction that every child is precious in the sight of God.
As the Parents Support Group, we stand alongside the school in this shared mission. We give thanks for our dedicated school leaders, teachers and staff, for the steadfast partnership of parents, and for the unity of a community that continues to nurture, encourage, and uplift every boy who walks through our gates.
May this Founders’ Day remind us of the rich heritage we inherit, the responsibilities we bear, and the hope we carry forward. May our sons continue to grow into men of character and courage, and may our community remain united in purpose and our hearts, hopes and aims as one. May every ACSian always let their light shine, not just for his / her own glory but that others who see the good works may give glory to our Heavenly Father.
God save our land and Heaven bless our ACS forever.
Happy 140th Founders’ Day.
To God Be The Glory.
The Best Is Yet To Be.

Sisters’ Island Exploration & Family Bonding
It was a bright and sunny morning on 8 November when 17 families – about 50 of us set off on a little adventure to Sisters’ Islands, Singapore’s very first marine park. Spirits were high as we boarded the boat, excited to explore this hidden gem just off the coast of Singapore.
Once we arrived, the island greeted us with clear blue skies and swaying trees. We began our eco-trail, making our way through four fun and educational stations. Along the way, we strolled across the floating boardwalk, checked out the solar panels powering the island, and climbed up to the hilltop deck for a stunning view of the sea and the surrounding islands. Our guide regaled us with a tale on the Sisters’ Island and how it came about. We then ended the trail with an exciting eco-quiz that got everyone – kids and parents alike – thinking and guessing together!
To top it all off, we headed to the lagoon protected by the sea wall for a refreshing swim. It was lovely watching the kids splash around while parents relaxed by the water and some joined in the kids in the waters. The best part? The island was almost empty, just for us!
It was a day full of sunshine, family bonding and connection – a reminder of how special it is to spend time together in nature.

ACS(P) Celebrates Children’s Day
On Thursday, 2 October, ACS(P) students enjoyed a vibrant Children’s Day celebration filled with laughter, games, and camaraderie. Despite it being a half-day of school, the energy and excitement were unmistakable as the festivities unfolded across two locations: the lower primary in the auditorium and the upper primary in the canteen and music studio.
This year, the celebration embraced the theme of “Old School Games with Servant Leadership,” encouraging students not only to have fun but also to cooperate, support one another, and demonstrate leadership through teamwork.
Lower Primary Highlights
The younger students engaged in four classic yet thrilling games:
• Kuti Kuti – a lively traditional game that had everyone eagerly trying to defend their Kuti pieces
• Tallest Tower Challenge – students tested their engineering skills using paper rolls to build the highest tower.
• Bottle Cap Flick Challenge – precision and patience were key as children aimed to flick caps onto marked squares or along a path.
• Fishing with a Bingo Twist – a creative take on fishing that combined strategy and luck.
Upper Primary Highlights
The older students enjoyed a wider variety of activities that blended classic fun with new challenges:
• Kuti Kuti
• Tallest Tower Building
• Tic Tac Toe Relay – a fast-paced team game combining strategy and speed.
• Giant Jenga
• Animal Chess
• Rubik’s Race
• Standing Tall Stick
• Bottle Flip
Students ended the day with ice cream treats, celebrating their efforts and the bonds forged through play.
The Children’s Day celebration was more than just fun—it was a chance for students to build friendships, strengthen cooperation, and practise servant leadership in a playful environment. Laughter, teamwork, and friendly competition marked a memorable day for all at ACS(P).
ACtS of Love – A Community Event hosted by ACS(P) students
ACtS of Love – A Community Event hosted by ACS(P) students
On 30 August 2025, our Primary 4 and 5 students and their families and our partners, MOCA (Moulmein-Cairnhill), and Chong Hua Tong came together for a meaningful time of service to the residents in our community.
The event carried a National Day theme, beginning with an energising Singapore Workout led by one of our parents. Residents and Chong Hua Tong members then enjoyed a series of nostalgic game stalls, where they pieced together jigsaw puzzles of old landmarks and local dishes—sparking memories of Singapore’s past.
Next came a collaborative art activity, with residents painting canvases inspired by national landmarks. It was heartwarming to see the boys partnering the residents with patience and encouragement, with many residents taking pride in their finished masterpieces.
The day concluded with a hearty lunch of local favourites, followed by a lively sing-along session, led by one of our boys, Edward in singing Home in Mandarin, a popular National Day song and the residents stepped up to sing their favourite tunes, together with our PSG Ex-Co members!
One of our boys, Ernest, reflected on the experience:
“Participating in Acts of Love made me realise how much the elderly value companionship. Simple activities bring them joy, help them feel less lonely, and strengthen our bond. I’ll make sure to spend more time with my grandparents and other elderly people, as it truly makes a difference in their lives.”
Indeed, it was a day of simple games and activities but overflowing with love and companionship, with cherished memories for both the residents and the students and their families. ❤️
