Dear ICS Community,
On Saturday we celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2026, followed by our first graduation lunch. What a wonderful way to draw their ICS education to a close! As our seniors leave what for many of them has been a home of many years, it seemed fitting to pray Paul’s words from Ephesians over our ICS Warriors:
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honour your father and mother” - which is the first commandment with a promise - “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth”...Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
As we look forward to the summer break, I want to thank faculty and staff for all they have done this year, and sadly to say goodbye to Dr Hwang, as he returns home; he has brought a heart for classical repertoire which has been deeply appreciated by many, and we wish him well. Ms Jessy Po will be the Middle School choir teacher for the coming academic year.
May God give us rest and refreshment in the coming weeks, and renew our hearts in the Lord Jesus to continue the Kingdom work that He has given us at ICS.
Yours in Him

Congratulations Class of 2026! 🎓 Anchored in Christ
“For I know the plans I have for you…”
Last Saturday, we came together in joyful celebration of the graduation of the Class of 2026. From those who have grown with us since kindergarten to those who joined along the way, each student’s unique journey has helped shape this truly special class. It has been a delight to witness their growth, resilience, and the unfolding of their stories over the years.
As they step confidently into a new chapter, we remind them of the message shared during Career Month: to keep Christ at the center of their dreams, challenges, and accomplishments. With Him as their anchor, they can move forward with faith, courage, and peace, trusting in His guidance in all things.
We give thanks for the alumni who have returned to share their journeys so generously, speaking with honesty about both the blessings and the challenges they have encountered. It is our prayer that the Class of 2026 will continue to walk closely with the Lord, and in time, return to encourage and uplift those who follow, remaining a cherished part of our school community.
Congratulations, Class of 2026! May God bless each of you as you step into the future He has prepared.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Parents Association
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Parents Association for the lovingly prepared appreciation lunch for our staff.

Thank you for being a constant source of encouragement to our staff.
