Brought to you by the St Andrew’s Parent-Teacher Association (SAPTA)

The St Andrew’s 150th Anniversary Carnival held on Saturday, 7th April is a big festive event organized by SAPTA. Embracing the ‘One Family Unbroken’ motto, this event will be a collaborative effort with SAJS, SASS and SAJC working together, with activities spread across the entire St Andrew’s Village. Even our little ones at Ascension Kindergarten will be involved in the festivities. The carnival will feature thrilling rides, mouth-watering food and exciting games developed by our new JC1 students.
 
Held in conjunction with the carnival is the Jim Weir Cup, a rugby tradition between the old boys of Raffles and St Andrew’s which will be played at the SAJC field from 4pm.

So mark the date on your calendar and come on down with your friends and family to celebrate our 150 years. Past Saints, take this opportunity to come home to visit your alma mater and be reunited with your school friends. Take a walk down memory lane in the old school grounds and share with your kids stories of your youth.

Tickets for the carnival are already on sale and can be purchased from the General Office of the 3 schools. Should you want to order your tickets in bulk (S$500 & above), a copy of the Ticket Order Form can be downloaded here.

On Sunday, February 13th, SAPTA hosted 40 staff and children from MINDSville to a Chinese New Year lunch at The Pines Club.
 
MINDSville is Singapore's first home set up solely for children with intellectual disability from the age of 6 to 18 years old. Prior to its set up, these children who are mainly from poor or broken families, lived in welfare homes that did not cater to their disability. Located within MINDSville@Napiri, the Children’s Wing provides accommodation, care and protection to children.
