SECOND GENERATION YISHUNITES

Heartening to see ex-Yishunites Marina and Abby sending their children to YSS for today's Secondary 1 registration. The life-line continues and I am glad to be part of this chain of continuity.
In fact I met three other ex-Yishunites who would like to see their children being part of their former history with the school.   I was on duty for the registration, making sure the teachers have enough assistance to tackle the flow of parents and the new students and helping to clear and clarify the parents' enquiries.  

Parents filled the school auditorium eager to meet with their child's form teachers. They were also given the book list to purchase stationery for the year to come. The school uniform and shoes vendors were present for the convenience of the parents.  It was like one-stop-for-all shopping as we understand that parents might not be free to come back again to make their purchases.

Marina and Abby were my former students and they had joined the Malay Dance group which I was in charge of. I enjoyed being their teacher-in-charge as the girls were disciplined, passionate and were as graceful as swans. Both ladies had decided to send their chilldren to their alma mater becasue they have a strong sense of belonging for the school, love its culture and .

I  also met Rahman, another Yishunite who had registered his son to the school. Rahman's three brothers, cousin and wife were ex-Yishunites too. I know them all very well. Rahman met his wife and got married later. The couple has decided that their son should also be a Yishunite. It seems they want the tradition to continue for their next generation.  

Thank you for your faith and confidence in YSS. Together we seek, we strive and soar.
