To revive an old tradition

As of now, not much of us are posting stuffs about our school, and my only resource for our Alma Mater's news is from Mr. Peter Khiew. But here's something that I'd like to touch about.

Not all of us have heard of the Silver Spoon tradition. Not even me until Mr. Khiew mentioned it when we last spoke. Apparently, it's a gift from the school, that is if one is a student of St. Michael's since kindergarten up to Form 6. As of graduation, one will be given a silver spoon as a gift from to school, an insignia of one's life in St. Michael's Institution.

All of us younger generation of Michaelians didn't get to know that tradition. But that would be nice to bring back. Not just in memory of the school and keeping the school alive, it's also a way to get all the sons of St. Michael's to stay loyal and not stray away from the school too much. As most of us know, some of us have spent 11 to 13 years of our live in St. Michael's.

With the prospect of the government requesting that current schools should have a kindergarten school, the silverspoon is not a bad idea. A 15 years of memory, all represented by a silver spoon.

Hail to our Alma Mater!

Hail to de our ALMA MATER, HAIL HAIL HAIL!! That's the ending to one of our favourite songs, simply titled Hail Hail Hail... that's simplicity at its best...

However, this belies the complexity and grandeur that represents SMI... They say first impressions count a lot... SMI has a building of majestic design and will give a lasting impression on anyone who lays their eyes on it... I am here to mention that this is only what you see from the outside, wait until you see what is within...

For all the Michaelians out there, I'm sure you would have felt the strong culture existing in SMI, where everyone knows each other... and pleasant greetings of Good morning and How are you are commonly heard... The students were not only trained academically, we were also groomed with good manners... That is what I call wholesome education...

Alright, enough of the appraisals. I'm sure you get my sentiments for my school by now...

I'm glad that we have a new roof and a new coat of paint on the building... It's exciting times for SMI... Lots of change physically and also in organisational aspects. Let's all hope it's for the best...
