TKGS HomeComing 2015 - Photos and Sharing
Homecoming event was indeed a special one, especially because it was in commemoration with SG50. Indeed, true to the spirit of celebration, many turned up decked in red and had a great time meeting friends both old and new and celebrating everything that is truly TKGS. What was truly special was that this Homecoming had a focus on our pioneers, those who lifted TKGS on their shoulders and gave us the foundation on which we built the school. Pioneers who attended the event include ex-Principal Mrs Huang Chai Lean and Geography teacher Ms Koh Sauk Yee. Alumni members including Mrs Sally Lee and Miss Sharon Kwek, President of the TKGS Alumni took turns to give tributes to their teachers who had made in impact on them. Mrs Rosalind Quek also took time to share with the younger TKGians her advice on how we could keep the school spirit strong. Generations of TKGians owe it to our pioneers for giving us not only a school but also a second home where some of the best memories were made and friendships were forged. The game that was hosted by one of our senior teachers, Mrs Rita Lopez, really triggered our memory using images and anecdotes from the past. It also made us feel that everyone in the room was connected one way or another, in this unique sisterhood, despite differences in age, race and language. All in all, it was a wonderful platform to connect and recollect. It was perhaps most apt to end the event with a nostalgic singing of the school song accompanied by old images of faces and places of TKGS. Indeed, once a TKGian, always a TKGian.
