Hai Sing 60th Anniversary Celebration and Charity Dinner

60th Anniversary

6th July 2019 was a special evening for HaiSians of the past and present. It was the night of our 60th Anniversary Celebration and Charity Dinner with the kind attendance of our Guest of Honour, Mr Teo Chee Hean, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security.

On this special occasion, the alumni, ex-teachers and school leaders of Hai Sing Girls’ High, Hai Sing High and Hai Sing Catholic School celebrated as one Hai Sing family at the Hai Sing Catholic School premises.

This was also a charity event to raise funds for upgrading the school in the next few years. Themed “Celebrating the HAI Life”, the event was an open concept buffet dinner, where the guests had the opportunity to mingle and catch up with old friends and teachers alike, reminisce over heritage exhibits and enjoy showcases and performances by current students. There was a carnival-like atmosphere, with our guests and staff dressed in shades of turquoise and blue which are the school’s colours.
