NLCS (Singapore) have been honoured to give thanks and commemorate the pioneering work of Frances Mary Buss at our inaugural Founder’s Day. Standing in solidarity with
@NLCSJeju1🇰🇷, @NLCSDubai🇦🇪,@NLCS1850 🇬🇧 the day included the traditional Service and Daffodil Procession.
After 12 months of planning, many ups & downs, and much stress & anxiety, we opened @NLCS_Singapore this morning. The surreal feeling of calm at 8:15, with all students in classes and with teachers “doing their thing” was utterly indescribable.
It’s been a journey of ups and downs, but we’re finally here with our new staff for our new staff induction programme. Such an inspirational group of educators @NLCS_Singapore
"To be fair, English is full of booby traps...any language where the unassuming word "fly" signifies an annoying insect, a means of travel, and a critical part of a gentleman's apparel is clearly asking to be mangled". #BillBryson#MotherTongue
She researched all about G5 to G6 stress, interviews school counselors, interviewed students, and took action by sharing her findings and suggestions with the school principals. Well done! #saisrocks#pypx
G6 SEAL students meeting their G11 & 12 buddies/mentors (who were all former EAL students) for the first time. So excited for this year long service initiative. #StamfordEAL#SAISrocks
