Halfway around the world, 40 ACSians gathered at The Phoenix Palace Restaurant in the heart of London to commemorate their alma mater’s 123rd Founder’s Day. Predictably, the singing of the ACS Anthem rekindled fond memories of school days and led to the spontaneous sharing of anecdotes and experiences over a sumptuous 8-course dinner.

Among those present at the dinner were Mr Lawrence Ang, a former teacher in both ACJC and ACS (Independent), and several young ladies from the first batch of International Baccalaureate students from ACS (Independent) who were attending the event for the first time.

According to Ms Melissa Woo, currently pursuing a degree in economics at the University College London, “I feel very welcomed to the ACS family in the UK. It is heartening to know that there is such a closely-knitted community of ACSians in London”.
