Heritage Quest V - The Northeast Line. 10 Aug 2008

Heritage Quest V was held on 10 August 2008 at Hougang Mall. The theme was 'The Northeast Line'. It was the 5th exhibition held to get our students to conduct exhibitions for the purpose of public education. This time, the focus was on takin their projects beyond the Upper Serangoon district into interesting sites along the Northeast Line. They also blogged on their research and participated in an amazing race to get to know these palces better.

The Guest of Honour for our event was NMP and ASEAN Outstanding Youth of the Year 2008, Ms Eunice Olsen. She was accompanied by several of our students who were her cousins. She also surprised everyone with her candid nature and friendliness. Many of her uncles and cousins were educated in Montfort.

The day began with the Kompang boys welcoming her and a silk gift given to her. The Wushu performance was fantastic! Especially even on such a small stage. Several old boys even returned to peform. The chorale, fresh from their performance from the National Day Parade the day before (they returned only at midnight) also sang three songs. The TLDDS also performed an Indian dance. It was a very successful event with many members of the community, stopping during their morning marketing, to view the exhibitions and the event.
