By Lee Siew Ling
I look back on my two years at St Anthony’s with
fond memories … the fun and laughter with my fellow classmates amidst the
homework and preparation for exams. We
had dedicated teachers, to name but a few, Brothers Damian and Patrick, Mr Toh Soon Guan, Mr
Tan Ai Kok, Mr Ashok Kumar … and Mr Damu who unfortunately passed away during his
teaching term as a result of a motorbike accident and others, though not
mentioned are remembered too. They
helped prepare us for our journey in life.
Like most of my classmates, I went to University
of Malaya where I completed my Bachelor of Arts. I taught briefly as a temporary teacher,
married and was focussed on bringing up my family during those earlier years. In 1991, we migrated to Melbourne and I
decided to return to studying. I
completed my Bachelor of Social Science (Family Studies), my Masters in
Clinical Psychology and worked in the public mental health service after
graduation. Currently, I have my own private
practice, my clients are people with psychological/mental health issues. At times, my area of work can be challenging
but it is rewarding to hear from my clients that they have benefitted from
therapy. I am now working part-time, retirement
is something that I look forward to, perhaps sometime in the near future.
To fellow Anthonians, past and present, I would
like to say - treasure your school day memories for they are irreplaceable and
keep in contact with each other, if possible.
I am honoured to be one of the sixth form pioneers and will forever
cherish my memories of the Class of 1968 at St. Anthony’s.
