MGS 21st Commendations Awards Ceremony 2014

Date: 2 September 2014

The Commendation Awards Ceremony (CAC) which took place in the M E Lau Hall on Tuesday 2 September, celebrated the many achievements of the MGS community.

Major Khoo Teh Lynn, F-16 Pilot RSAF was the Guest of Honour at the CAC; a former student of MGS, she inspired the girls to give of their best to realize their dreams. “Wherever you go, go with all your heart,” she urged. Major Khoo who, against all odds, turned her own dreams into reality, was the first female pilot of RSAF; she is indeed a Woman of Excellence with a Heart of Love, and well deserves her place in the Singapore Women’s Hall of Fame where her passion for flying and her dedicated service to Singapore are duly acknowledged.

During the CAC 2014, numerous awards were presented to the girls in acknowledgement of their dedication, passion and outstanding contributions in various fields. Of these, sixteen prestigious Sports Awards were given to the girls who represented Singapore in their respective sports.

The top three awards at the annual CAC are a tribute to the MGS spirit which the girls embrace without reservation; it is all about their exemplary character and conduct, and their readiness To Master, To Grow, To Serve.

This year, Naomi Lim Yan Min (P6.3) was the proud recipient of the Model Student Award, while Christine Mok Tze Yin (Sec 1H) received the Lydia Huang Award, and Erika Poh (Sec 3E), the Wee Kim Wee Award.
