OUR FORMER PRINCIPALS

Mrs Julia Woo Keen Fai (2008 – 2012)

“I was struck by the diverse talents when I frst took over the helm and wanted to create opportunities to support the enhancement of diverse talents in both academic and non-academic areas of uniformed groups, sports and the performing arts. One such opportunity was the production of the National Education movie “Friends for Life”. WDL’s unique racial and cultural blend emphasised the signifcance of National Education. As part of the school’s contribution to the nation, the school directed and produced a National Education movie, entitled ‘Friends for Life’, with cast, production and direction by all stakeholders of the school. The strong camaraderie culture and rootedness to the school, together with the diverse talents, made the movie production, initially deemed as an impossible pursuit, possible! It was eventually launched in February 2012 at the University Cultural Centre Hall at the National University of Singapore to a domestic and external audience. It was an experience of a lifetime for all involved!”

Miss Tan Ke-Xin (2012 – 2018)

“I remember the many send-offs at the airport when our Secondary 3 students went for their overseas trip. It was the frst airplane trip for so many; their frst ticket to the world. I remember being invited to the MOE special awards to proudly witness WDL students (the late Nor’ Aqilah Binte Rosli from class of 2013 and Rasidi Bin Saaban of 2016) receive the Lee Kuan Yew All-Rounded Excellence Award and the Lee Kuan Yew Award for Outstanding Normal Course students respectively. I also recall the stunning value-added results for the Express course in 2014 and 2015, which eventually led to the school sharing about her best practices in Teaching and Learning at MOE’s annual Excellence-in-Action sharing in 2016. These accolades would not have been possible if not for the dedicated, passionate and hardworking staff who believed in their students and went the extra mile for them.”
