“A good teacher is like a candle, it consumes itself to light the way for others.”

As a symbol of gratitude to the teachers of who have worked selflessly to educate the future generation, Catholic High School celebrated Teacher’s Day on the 29th of June. The theme for this year’s celebration was “Harmony”, with the teachers symbolising different tunes that produced a beautiful and harmonious melody when played together.

The celebration started off with the arrival of the stars of the day, the teachers, who paraded into the hall to thunderous cheers and applause from the students. This was followed by speeches from the Head Prefect, the principal Mdm. Low Lai Khun, the Chairman of the Parents Teachers Association, Mr. Han Chuan Chour, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Lim Hock San SSAP DSSA JP. Mdm. Low then led the Teacher’s Day Declaration. Presents were given to the principal and the teachers by various parties, followed by the cake-cutting ceremony.

Then came the highlight of the day. Performances by the Lower 6 students, the Prefectorial Board, the Theatre and Cultural Club, the Diabolo Club, the Wushu Club and a few other solo performances had the audience enraptured. The performances were all aimed to show the student’s appreciation and gratitude to the teachers, with cheers of “Happy Teacher’s Day!” and “We love you teachers!” ringing out again and again.

After the performance, the ceremony in the hall ended. It was then time for the teachers to indulge in some games organised by the Lower 6 students. After that, the teachers were treated to a scrumptious meal in the school hall. A touching video filmed by the UBK students played while the teachers had their meal, marking a perfect ending to a meaningful Teacher’s Day celebration.
