We wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

A Visit of CHIJ Students
Four girls from CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh) of Singapore spent five days at our school from November 2 to 6, 2015. They were assigned to different S.3 classes in which they joined lessons and activities with the class. Several girls from each class volunteered as buddies to take care of their Singaporean guests. Not only did the CHIJ girls enjoy the lessons and local delicacies of Sham Shui Po, but they also could not forget the warm hospitality of Ying Wa girls. Though their stay was short, it was a valuable exchange programme that every one enjoyed.
