Hey, AC! On 24 August, our C Division Rugby team participated in the finals of the National School Games. We are proud to announce that they have clinched the championship title!

“I’m incredibly proud of the team and how far we’ve come this season. Everyone gave their all for one another, and we stayed together through every challenge. Winning the final means a lot to us, but what I’ll remember most is the trust and brotherhood we’ve built as a team. We’re also deeply grateful to our school leaders, teachers and fellow students who came down to support us — your encouragement meant a lot to the team.” Jenson Lim, C Div Rugby Captain, 2.12

Congratulations to our Rugby team! To God Be The Glory, The Best Is Yet To Be!

On 31 July 2026, ACS (Independent) was delighted to welcome the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO) for an inspiring evening of Chinese orchestral music at CPA2. Under the baton of Associate Conductor Lien Boon Hua, students, families, and members of the public enjoyed an engaging concert featuring the Instrumental Guide to the Chinese Orchestra alongside a selection of captivating contemporary and traditional works.
 
Our Year Three MEP students played an integral role in the collaboration with SCO. They led instrument touch tours, served as student narrators and assisted with stage logistics.
 
“This opportunity to collaborate with the SCO has not only fuelled my interest in music, but has also allowed me to get to know traditional Chinese instruments better. From learning the unique voices of the orchestra to sharing the stage through narration, it’s amazing to see culture come alive through sound. Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible!” Darius Lee, 3.10, Music Elective Programme (MEP)
 
Thank you, SCO, for bringing this enriching musical experience to our community and for inspiring a deeper appreciation of Chinese orchestral music. 🎶💕

Congratulations to Ken Yokota Soh (6.01), Reyes Lee Yui Hou (6.01) and Lim Yong Cen Aiden (6.06) from the Mathematics Competition Team for their outstanding achievement at the Singapore International Mathematics and Computational Challenge, organised by NUS High School from 25–29 May 2026.

Hey, AC! On 14 August, NCDCC organised their annual service-learning project with ACS(Junior) Scouts.

 

As part of this student-initiated project, the EXCO members taught the junior scouts knots and lashing, basic bandaging and CPR/AED skills. Besides that, the junior scouts had a fun time going through a tunnel maze which replicates rescue techniques in confined spaces.

 

“Having this experience was very meaningful to us as an NCDCC unit. Teaching younger students in ACS(J) essential lifesaving, rescue, and first-aid skills meant passing on valuable knowledge to the next generation.” Unit Sergeant Major, Sim Kaeden 3.06

 

“Participating in the ACS(J) outreach programme allowed us to apply the values we learnt in school to overcome difficult challenges. Overall, I strengthened my ability to collaborate effectively within a team, and gleaned valuable insights in resilience and communication.” Regimental Sergeant Major, Oh Xin Yun Adam 3.16

 

Indeed, it was an afternoon well spent!

Hey AC! It is with much joy that we share that ACS(I) alumnus Samuel Poh (Class of 2025) has been awarded the 2026 President’s Scholarship, one of Singapore’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarships.

During his six years in school, Samuel distinguished himself both within and beyond the classroom. As a member of NCC, he received the NCC Headquarters Outstanding Cadet Award in 2023 before being presented with the SAF Young Leader Award in 2025. A talented football player in school, he was encouraged by our football coach to join Hougang United, which he did, and went on to captain its Under-17 team later.

Samuel also provided weekly Mathematics tuition to primary school students facing challenging family circumstances through Lakeside Family Services, enabling him to engage with and contribute to the wider community.

“It is an absolute honour, and I’m immensely grateful to every single teacher, the ACS community, my family, and my school friends who have played a part in my journey. Thank you for supporting me at every step, encouraging me at every juncture to aim higher, stay humble, and keep going. Above all, I would like to thank God for His blessings and guiding hand.” Samuel Poh, Class of 2025.

Samuel will be pursuing Politics and International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science, before returning to serve in the Singapore Armed Forces.

We are proud to see how the values of leadership and service that Samuel demonstrated during his time at ACS(I) continue to guide him as he takes this next step. Congratulations, Samuel!

Hey, AC! On 26 July, our Year 5 ACS(I) Philharmonic Ensemble had the privilege of performing at the National Day Istana Open House under Project , a youth-led music initiative dedicated to building a more confident, connected and community-minded generation of Singaporeans through performing and development opportunities.

The event was a meaningful opportunity to give back to the community through music, celebrating our shared national identity, and adding warmth and joy to our National Day festivities.

One of the highlights was meeting President Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who stopped by to watch our performance. He shared that when he was a student at ACS(I), he was involved in eight different sports CCAs - a timely reminder to pursue our passions wholeheartedly and make the most of every opportunity.

“As both a performer and organiser, I was heartened to see students showcase their talents while using music to give back to the community. It created many unforgettable memories and brought us closer through our shared passion for music.” Pang Jingfei, Project founder, 5.11

What a great experience for our Year 5 Philharmonic Ensemble!
