Good food, good entertainment, and most importantly, good company. We hope everyone enjoyed catching up with old friends and making new ones too.

"I felt that this programme was a natural progression from my diploma, as it could equip me with skills and knowledge to better serve the elderly. If all goes well, I should graduate in July 2024.
My favourite module so far is leadership and management in aged care, where I learnt about strategic management and various personality types. I now understand why people behave in certain ways, and how I can fine-tune my communications with them."
- Ms Chang Xue Qi (Centre Supervisor at All Saints Home)
My Learning Diaries: As the youngest supervisor at a senior daycare centre, picking up new skills is a must
My career in the eldercare sector began in February 2018, when I volunteered with the Silver Generation Office (SGO), the outreach arm of the Agency for Integrated Care.

Ivy Ong worked in finance for nearly three decades before switching careers. Her personal experience of losing her father to vascular dementia and awareness of Singaporeโs ageing population and smaller family units sparked her interest in gerontology as a field of study. As a mother of one, she wanted to prepare herself and equip herself with valuable insights to address the challenges of an ageing population.
Her attraction to the Master of Science in Applied Gerontology (MSAG) programme at her alma mater, SSS@NTU, was due to its interdisciplinary curriculum that covers various aging-related subjects. The Programmeโs holistic approach resonated with her beliefs, considering the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of ageing.
