Cover Story

Mrs Seah,

Our Principal

Tell us briefly about your career with MOE thus far.

• Started my practicum in Yuhua Primary school. We were the second batch of the PGDE programme.

• After practicum, I was sent to Jurong Primary (JPS). I spent 15 years there, starting as a teacher, then a HOD and subsequently as VP.

• In 2006, I was posted to AMKPS as a VP and subsequently appointed as P.

• Spent 6 wonderful, albeit challenging, years in AMKP. The profile of children that I have encountered in AMKP is so different from that in JPS. The experience further consolidated my belief in the importance of teachers in the life and education of a child.

Tell us about a person who has a strong influence on you.

It will definitely have to be my mom. She is a very strong and intelligent lady despite not having a proper education. She is the epitome of resilience and grit.
