"I started at St Andrew’s in Grade 8. My fondest memories are from the Grade 10 camp with Ms Raines. St Andrew’s has taught me the importance of friendship, the skill of teamwork, and the value of community."

The top achiever was awarded a Certificate of High Distinction for her 2019 Grade 10 Reasoning IEB International Benchmark Test and Academic full colours for having achieved a minimum of 5 subject distinctions in her grade 11 marks or has accumulated at least 10 subject distinctions across her grade 10 and 11 year marks.

Proud of Yujia Wang for obtaining A's in 5 of her subjects.

"I started at St Andrew's in Grade 1. I can't remember a specific moment, but my fondest memory at St Andrew's was when the whole class laughed together during different lessons, and when we were so tired we just wanted to laugh with friends, those times are my happiest moments during school! The greatest skill I learnt from St Andrews is that, in order to cope with hard times, we (students) must help each other and persist."

She was awarded the Trinity College Grade 4 Theory of Music in level 2 and passed with merit during 2020.

Keep on doing things that you are passionate about!

Thank you to Yizhen Qin and Yuxin You for being among the remaining 77 Class of 2021 matriculants, who contributed to St Andrew's School for Girls achieving a 100% pass rate for the 33rd successive year.

Both were awarded Certificates of Distinction in their 2019 Grade 10 Reasoning IEB International Benchmark Tests.

From starting at St Andrew's in Grade 0, Yizhen's fondest memory is meeting her current friends and she believes the school has taught her to cope with work.

The Head of First Aid represented St John EMS to a second place finish in the 2019 National Cadet Competition and she was the recipient of the First Aid Captains Award for outwardly exhibiting real enthusiasm and always prioritizing her service to first aid.

After school, Yizhen wants to do what she enjoys the most – Drawing!

Yuxin's fondest memory is of her first day at St Andrew's in Grade 8, where it changed her life and taught her how to be 'Skilled for Life'. She made it through to the 2nd round of the 2020 Mathematics Olympiad.

Wishing you well studying Business or Economics!
