Broadrick's 45th Anniversary Celebrations
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Journey through the Broadrick magical wonderland

We thank all guests who attended our 45th Anniversary Celebrations on 24 April 2015.  It was a fantastic and magical evening for the 800 guests.  They met up with friends, visited various locations in the school, enjoyed the performances put up by our students and staff, and feasted on the mouth-watering delicacies.

At the opening of the celebrations, our Guest-of-Honour, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, also officially opened the Heritage Gallery and Open Thinking Spaces.

Those who have missed the event can look forward to our 50th anniversary celebrations in 2020!

But fret not, as we will provide you with a glimpse of the trip to the magical wonderland with Alice that took place on 24 April 2015.

Broadrick also paid tribute to our SG Pioneers during this event.  A group of about 35 senior citizens who live in the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT) flats at Dakota Crescent were specially invited to join in the celebration.  As part of our Service Learning programme, the school also serve "Hearty Breakfast" to these pioneers fortnightly at the Tung Ling Eldercare Centre at Dakota Crescent.
