As our special guests walked into our new auditorium, they would have been hard-pressed to miss the slideshow on the almost 14-meter-long hi-resolution digital screen that runs across the stage in 3 parts. They were even more impressed to discover the middle screen opens to reveal special guests and performers for extravagant theatrical entrances when our founders Maurice and Rosie and the inspiration for the school, their daughter Jenny Nguyen appeared through the centre of the screen. Equipped with many safe motion sensors, the unmissable screen will bring our performing arts and assemblies to new levels.
On Tuesday, the first student assembly took place in the new auditorium, in which our new prefect team were led out through the screen opening onto the stage, while the students looked on in awe. Our prefects introduced more about their roles and how they support our student body.

Construction begins on the land that is now the Junior field.
Later in 2005, the school opened a separate purpose-built secondary campus on the land across the street, which then became known as An Phu 2 (AP2).
