Our Gratitude Day has been a joyful celebration dedicated to honoring those having enriched our lives and the blessings we often overlook. The event was a vibrant tapestry of gratefulness, connection, mental wellbeing, and creativity.

Additionally, they delved into tongue twisters, poems, and word search games while engaging in delightful conversations with teachers. By giving their best at the game booths, students earned well-deserved treats.

WTSMC has been established for nearly 50 years, and our alumni have long continued their keen contribution to the school. In light of this heartwarming tradition, we have launched a year-round Alumni Mentorship Scheme to help students explore different occupations, facilitate their career planning and provide opportunities for them to build connections and learn from the alumni’s inspiring life stories.

This year, a group of alumni from various fields, including medical, engineering, disciplined services, as well as banking and finance, have joined this program. In our kickoff ceremony held on 28 September 2024 (Saturday), mentees met their mentors for the first time and got to know each other, marking the beginning of this year’s program. We hope this initiative will motivate students and provide them with valuable guidance for their future. In the upcoming months, our mentees will learn from the alumni’s experience through a series of meet-ups and workplace visits.
