28 Dec 04 - A New Chapter

Opening address by Mr Harphal Singh. West Spring has waited for 4 years for a school building to call our own.

28 December 2004 marked as a historic occasion for West Spring Secondary.

Led by Mr Raj and Mr Simon Gan, 38 runners represented by the various classes & CCAs ran from the former campus at Teck Whye Secondary School to the new campus at Senja - West Spring's New Home. They were greeted by our own lion dance troope at the entrance of the new building to auspiciously welcome the runenrs and the all-important school flag. This was followed by a brief but significant flag raising ceremony. The entire school sang the West Spring school song in unison for the very first time in the new building. An opening address by our principal as he remembers the trials and tribulations to acquire this new building.

The rest of the school population & parents had joined in the event. Students were brought on a tour of their classrooms and the school's facilities. We saw many bright and elated faces of the students as they gasped in amazement at the sheer size of the school's compound and its numerous facilities. It was double celebrations for the new Secondary 1 students - to cross over to secondary school life & the experience to study in a brand new building. The alumni students also joined in the celebrations. Most were moving on to junior colleges, polytechnics and ITEs and shared the good news to both teachers and friends while they toured the new campus.

Congratulations West Spring! Let's live up to the challenge of building a great name for the school. Work hard and perservere from now to bring greater glory to West Spring in all areas - academic and sports.
