“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.”
1 Corinthians 13:11
The stamping of soles and the clicking of heels clouded the exciting and rumbling atmosphere as parents alongside children, walked up the Big Steps of Saint Andrew’s Secondary School for most probably their first time, and not certainly their last. Greeted profusely, and ushered into the hall by immaculately dressed prefects, the families took their seats according to their children’s respective classes and in a short while, were greeted promptly by the school’s new principal, Mrs Toh on stage. She gave the crowd of new parents a warm welcome, and started the registration with a combined presentation with the School Captain and School Vice Captain.
The presentation touched on what to expect as parents and students of Saint Andrew’s Secondary School, and as parents listened intently, children looked around, spotting familiar faces from the Junior school, and less familiar ones. Change sparked the air, and everyone could feel it. After the presentation was over, the registration commenced and families finally met up with the form teachers of the respective classes to settle more paper work then ever.
An eventful year was ahead for their progeny, and parents were making sure everything would go smoothly in the administration side of it. after registration, parents were once again greeted by neatly attired prefects and junior leaders and served refreshments, and it was time to head home to enjoy the last days of the year. And that marked the debut of Secondary School life of our new saints of 2011. May lives ever be in the making here!
