141 Years of Gessian Legacy

Gan Eng Seng School commemorated our 141st Founder’s Day with the theme “Leaning In, Lifting Up, Looking Out.” Together with our Guest of Honour, Tan Cheng Kiong, we celebrated the enduring vision of our founder, Gan Eng Seng, whose belief in education continues to inspire and shape generations of Gessians.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to our valued partners — the School Advisory Committee (SAC), GESSOSA, Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), community partners, senior Gessians, parents, staff and students — for being part of this meaningful celebration.

The day concluded with school-wide Values-in-Action activities, as our Gessians leaned in to serve, lifted others up, and looked out to make a difference in the community. (See our next post for more highlights.)

Leaning In. Lifting Up. Looking Out

Onward, Gessians!
