CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel's 50th Anniversary

The 23rd of April marked an important date in the history of CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel. The school in the Serangoon Gardens area celebrated the occasion with a series of events, the highlight being today's feast day.
Mass was celebrated by His Grace the Archbishop Nicholas Chia and was followed by up a speech given by the school's principal, Mrs Catherine Seah.
On behalf of the school's board Sr Celine Low later addressed the gathering.
The school had earlier, on the 5th of February, organised a golf tournament and had raised funds for Catholic Welfare Services. It raised five thousand dollars and a cheque was presented by Mrs Seah to its Executive Director, Mr James Chew.
The morning's events continued with awards being given to former principals of the school.
The school's choir also lent their melodious voices to the day's activities and led the assembly in singing a specially composed song "With Your Grace" to mark the school's 50th anniversary.
The day's activities ended with the burying of a time-capsule which contained mementoes of the day's celebration. It will be re-opened in ten years time.
It was a joyous event and very clearly, judging by the detail which was put in, one which the organisers should be proud of.
