AJCAA Undergraduate Bursary Award 2010

AJCAA has just awarded bursary to 2 more recipients in 2010 — Ng Hong Kiang and Chua Chee Tek.

Ng Hong Kiang (PDG 18/04) — 2nd Year undergraduate at NUS Industrial Design

Hong Kiang has maintained a strong interest in arts and design since his JC days. While taking up part-time jobs to supplement family income, Hong Kiang has attained excellent results for his core design modules and participated in numerous design competitions. He was recently awarded 1st Prize and featured in Straits Times' Life! for his work 'An Asian Family' in NUS-WTP Young Designers' Competition. Awaiting acceptance for an exchange programme at Milan's Politechnico Di Milano to gain invaluable experiences, Hong Kiang hopes to be a role model for AJCians with interest in design and contribute back to AJC with his gift in design.

Chua Chee Tek (PDG 14/03) — Final Year undergraduate majoring in Mechatronics at NUS Mechanical Engineering

Due to both parents' advanced ages, Chee Tek has been giving tuitions to sustain family expenses. He has been consistent in his academic achievements and involvement in extra-curriculum activities with strong interest in Symphonic Band. Since last year, Chee Tek has also helped out in AJCAA Tutoring Programme for AJCians. Just returned from exchange programme at Canada's University of Waterloo, Chee Tek led his team 'TEAM RO-PE' in this year's Robocup 2010 Singapore Competition and won in both Dribble-and-Kick and Technical Challenge events in Adult Size category in the RoboCup Soccer Humanoid League.

The Association needs your continuous support so as to continue to help more ex-AJCians lessen their burdens as they strive to advance in their academic pursuits.

AJCAA Tutoring Programme 2010

The AJCAA Tutoring Programme 2010 has suspended after 4 sessions in view of the JC2 prelims. It will be resuming on 2 October 2010. To date, the Programme is a great success with high turnouts for every session. AJCAA would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all the passionate tutors who have volunteered themselves for the Programme.

You can view some of the photos taken during this year's session at http://www.ajcaa.com/tutoring/view/year/2010/.

On the other hand, some tutors will be leaving us by end September due to commencement of their university new semester. Thus, we are still looking for tutors who can tutor Chemistry or Economics.

Your help will be much appreciated. We look forward to you joining us. The Programme is held every Saturday from 9am to 12pm and expected to cease on 30 October in view of the JC2 'A' level examinations.

If you are interested, please email Kent at tutoring@ajcaa.com or SMS at 91918526. Thanks.

Alumni Update

Congratulations to Ms Siau Fong Fui (PDG 31/91) for her new appointment as the Vice Principal of AJC

Anderson Junior College Alumni Association (AJCAA) would like to express our sincere congratulations to our fellow ex-AJCian, Ms Siau Fong Fui (PDG 31/91), for her new appointment as the Vice Principal of our alma mater. Ms Siau is well deserved for this role with her outstanding contributions to the College in her various leadership appointments since she returned to AJC as a Chinese Language teacher in 1999. She was appointed as the Subject Head for non-sports CCAs in 2003. From 2004 to June 2010, she served as the Head of Department for Student Affairs Department. She is appointed as the Vice Principal on 15 June 2010.

In June 2005, Ms Siau took a year off from work to teach at the Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, under the MOE-Singapore International Foundation (SIF) OuTrEACH Programme. She also helped to develop a Diploma course for the undergraduates and a training programme for the local Chinese Language teachers.

Ms Siau is also one of the founding members of AJCAA, which is started in 2001. To date, she continues to involve herself in AJCAA programmes and plays an active role in building the partnership between the College and the Association. AJCAA looks forward to her making great stride in her career and to continue to work closely with her in AJCAA in the coming years.
