Honey Tree's 2010 Concert brought parents back to the oldies…….

Interspersed with animated dances and perfected marches, there was never a dull moment in the Honey Tree Child Care Centre End of Year Concert and Graduation Ceremony. A platform where Honey Tree Child Care Centre made used of to showcase its annual evening of extravaganza for the parents and grandparents of the students.
On 4 Dec 10, these students did just that by bringing old memories through the “Flavours of Singapore”. The event featured an adrenaline pumping routine performed by the children from the three Honey Tree Child Care Centres combined.

Besides fast numbers that jazzed up the ambiance in the auditorium, there were tender moments that tugged the heartstring of the audiences on the soft side. There were video clips that featured K2 graduates who expressed their gratitude so generously and so confidently, what they aspired to be in future. All of them have one common feeling - they missed the teachers and their friends in Honey Tree.

There were inspiring speeches given by two directors. Ms Janice Poon, speaking in English, illuminated the importance of parent – school bonding; drawing on examples of activities that the parents were so professionally involved. Mdm Chiang re-emphasised in Mandarin, the importance of adopting new technology in engaging and enriching a broad spectrum of young learners. The little MCs stole the night. The costumes and the probes fit the evening’s theme. The performers were just perfect.




Mdm Lim, grandmother of one K2 graduand commented, “I have attended a few of the graduation ceremonies, this year is special. It is timely for our children to know the hard work their parents had gone through. By participating it themselves, made them realized what their parents have done to arrive at what they are today.”



Indeed, together with our parents, Honey Tree Child Care Centres are determined to draw on one another’s strengths, to build on the collective wisdom to improve the well-being of our children to give them a solid foundation for the future.
