It is my privilege to lead Sri Emas. Though I’ve been Principal for only a year, my connection to the school runs deeper. I joined as a rookie teacher in 2012, coming from an entirely different field, like many of us who have found our way into ACE. Leading the school alongside a strong team, I’m proud of how we meet every challenge with determination, resilience and a can-do spirit.

I’m especially proud that Sri Emas values students’ social-emotional growth as much as academic excellence. The philosophies behind the ACE EdVenture Programme are exactly the principles I would have hoped to experience as a young person navigating high school.

I’ve watched Year 7 wallflowers go on to win entrepreneurship competitions in Indonesia as Year 10s, and students who once struggled earn A*s in their IGCSEs. Our students grow in confidence, character and capability, becoming testaments to our vision of unleashing greatness in every child.
