 Happy Lunar New Year! This week our community will be engaging in several traditional activities to celebrate the new year. On Thursday a well known local lion dance group will perform on Preston and Paterson campuses and the Class of 2015 will have its traditional pre- IB examination’ good luck’ photograph taken with the lion and the dance troupe. This will be followed in the High School with the graduating class leading a Lo- Hei session at lunchtime (the traditional Singapore Chinese New Year salad toss) to further secure success as they prepare for the world post ISS. Thank you Mrs. Chan for the special treat. On Friday Mr. and Mrs. Chan will host the annual ISS staff Chinese New Year celebration in the British Club.
ISS’ founders, Mr. and Mrs. Chan, also found time over the festive period to celebrate as a family. Pictured with the lion dance troupe that visited them are Mr. and Mrs. Chan (Chairman and CEO of the ISS Group), their daughter Mun-E Chan (Deputy CEO) and her husband Elvis Tan, Director of Business Development of ISS Group who are based, in our sister school,
