CELEBRATING OUR NEW PRINCIPALS

On 25th January 2026, four newly appointed principals of Catholic schools and preschools were commissioned during the annual Commencement of School Year (COSY) Mass, organized by the Archdiocesan Commission for Catholic Schools and the Council of Catholic Schools’ Principals.

Ms Teo Yen Li

Marymount Preschool

At Marymount Preschool, we have named some classrooms after the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

During the daily school assembly throughout the year, the teacher-in-charge will share about the values of these fruits. From this, the children learn about and apply the values for each fruit through the year.

Ms Genevieve Chye

Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Secondary

The 10 years I spent in IJ shaped me profoundly. Through the care and dedication of teachers and the lifelong friendships formed, I grew in faith, character, and conviction. These experiences helped mould the person and leader I am today.

As I begin this mission as Principal of my alma mater, I am humbled and in awe of how God has led me to this role. I hope to continue the IJ legacy, ensuring every girl experiences a Christ-centred environment where she is known and loved as a child of God; excels in learning and is nurtured holistically; and inspired to deepen her personal spirituality and live a life of service.

Mrs Rachel Lee

Montfort Secondary School

Moving from CHIJ Secondary, where I served for the past seven years, to Montfort Secondary is a transition both exciting and meaningful for me. I carry with me the cherished relationships and formative experiences from CHIJ as I step into this new chapter within the Montfortian Gabrielite family.

This mission is a shared one, realised through strong partnerships among staff, parents, alumni and the wider community, united by trust and a common purpose. I look forward to journeying with the Montfort community, building on 110 years of God’s faithfulness as we continue to nurture the young men entrusted to our care.

Mr Aloysius Ting

St Patrick's School

Serving in a school is a sacred calling. As educators, we strive for our students but also have personal lives which are equally important. I see my role as equipping staff to do their best while providing them time and space to rest, reflect, and bond with loved ones.

Joining St Patrick’s, I’m learning to catch the little moments that matter, from seeing students during recess and CCA, or having little chats with colleagues and parents. All these tell me how someone’s day is going, and God-willing, what I can do to support them.
