It’s the start of a new academic year, the excitement of new beginnings is infectious today.

Schools are filled with chattering children in oversized uniforms clinging onto their parents’ hands, some running from entering the classroom doors, while some entered the new doors beaming with excitement as they made their way to the “big school” for the first time.

As many walked proudly with their backpacks, donning new hairstyles with parents snapping the precious moment, many of them didn’t know what the new journey entails or what it really means to be at a ‘big school’ but they are just excited to finally be able to wear the uniform they got over the holidays.

TYI wishes all students the best for the academic year!
