My name is James (Seng Tat), and I was a student at Opera Estate Primary School from 1988 to 1992.

Opera Estate holds many fond memories from my childhood. I am very grateful to the principal, Mdm Susy Chia, and to my teachers, such as Miss Khadijah, Mr Peter, Mrs Jenny, Cai Laoshi, Mrs De Silva, and many others.

Thank you to all the dedicated teachers, staff, and leaders, past and present, who have shaped generations of students. May the school continue to inspire excellence and touch countless lives in the years ahead.

Happy 40th Anniversary!

When I was in Opera, I liked to be left alone and introverted. Now I am more confident to share about myself to new people, making new friends etc. I have to give credit for not only develop my academic skills but also letting me make memories of this school. I miss my friend ngl - Adam

Dear Opera Estate Primary School,

Warmest congratulations on your 40th anniversary! We're thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you.

As neighbours, Bethany Evangelical Free Church is honoured to share a rich heritage with OEPS, rooted in our shared history and community.

We're proud to note that one of our founding members, Leong Bi Lan, was the very first Head Prefect of Opera Estate Girls School back in the 1960s. Over the years, we've seen multiple generations of families from our church attend OEPS, fostering a deep connection between our institutions.

In recent years, our partnership has grown stronger through initiatives like after-school reading programs, distributing over 300 OEPS Love Gift packages to support students from financially challenged backgrounds, and providing annual bursaries. These efforts reflect our commitment to being good neighbours and supporting the community.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration and exploring new ways to serve together. Here's to many more years of shared growth and partnership!

Congratulations once again on this remarkable achievement.

Best regards,

Pastor Desmond Soh

Bethany Evangelical Free Church

When I came into the school, I was primary 2, I left my previous school because it was going to merge into a school far away. I was a very timid kid, a very quite kid, introvert and felt isolated. It stays that way for a very long time until my classmate talked to me. We became friends and he changed me alot, I became very confident, extroverted and always with somebody. I'd like to thank my friends and teachers for guiding me throughout my journey, I love you guys❤️

My late father was also from OEPS, although it was in its past life as a boy's school in the 50s. He was a hawker selling char kway teow, which my teachers are very fond of. Not such a good thing for me if they have something to complain to my father, they have direct access to him on that very evening, lol. the previous principal Mdm Chan, and music teacher Ms De Silva knew him very well. I also miss my chinese teacher Yun Lao Shi.

i graduated from oeps almost 2 years ago, and i could not be more grateful for my experience there. i genuinely had the time of my life from when i joined up until graduation. the teachers were amazing, always supportive of my aspirations and constantly pushing and helping me to do my best! if it weren’t for them, i would’ve never ended up where i am today. special thanks to all my primary 6 teachers, especially Mrs Rafiq, for helping me through PSLE and celebrating my successes with me, i am eternally grateful for everything you’ve done for not just me, but all of us students. happy 40th anniversary, oeps!

I graduated in 1991. Those were the days where we would play "yeye" aka zero point during recess time, squatting by the drain to brush our teeth after recess and wiping chalk off our uniform after writing or wiping the blackboard.

My late dad was from OEBS and mum's from OEGS and so were some of my aunties. I am fortunate and proud that 3 of my kids had graduated from OEPS and 2 are currently studying here.

Teachers play an important role and some names will forever be imbedded in my heart like Cikgu Rabiah, Cikgu Mariam, Cikgu Sogiyah, Mr Peters, Mdm Jenny Lo, Mrs DeSilva, Mrs Margaret Lee and many others.

Congratulations to 40 incredible years!!🎊 To many more years of memories, excellence, achievements and lasting impact on generation of students!

Dear OEPS Family,

As we celebrate Opera Estate Primary School’s remarkable 40th anniversary, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all of you.

When we discovered OEPS with our 1st child, we were impressed by your commitment to nurturing “Confident Learners, Caring Contributors” has profoundly impacted not only our children’s academic growth but who they are becoming as individuals.

Thanks for your educational excellence and compassionate care, your are preparing a generation of amazing future adults!

Thanks!

we were only 7 when we first walked through its gates, carrying a backpack twice our size, unaware that we were stepping into a place that would stay in our hearts long after we left. i remember the hurried footsteps echoing down the corridor as we dashed to class, racing each other, hoping not to get caught by our discipline master. the sunlight spilling through the windows, and the soft hum of laughter in the canteen where friendships quietly bloomed. i remember carrying books for teachers, whose patients shaped us and kindness never faded, feeling proud just to be trusted. it will always remain in me how, when covid 19 struct and everything paused, acts of kindness from the teachers stood out. recording videos to help us understand better and taking pictures of every page in our workbook so we could print them out easily. they continued doing this, even while navigating their own way though digital platforms. PSLE came with pressure and quiet determination, yet we were never alone. there was strength in routine, in the comfort of familiar faces, in CCAs that lit up our passions, and in the encouragement from our teachers. and still, there were the houses - dido, aida, carmen, figaro. names that still echo like gentle lullabies from a time that feels both near and far. the music that plays to signal the time to pack up, the clatter of windows being shut, ring like verses of a song i know by heart. so thank you, Opera Estate Primary, for giving us not just an education, but memories etched in the rhythm of our childhood :)

Congratulations to all teachers, Principal, and students on the school’s 40th anniversary. It has been an incredible journey for my kid at OEPS - many schools get big things right, but to get the small things right is rare. The teachers at OEPS have made their mark in the hearts of students as well as parents in the little things - be it a thank you postcard to parents or a candy to the kids to celebrate little achievements. Being part of parent volunteer committee has also been an enriching experience for me. Thanks to the school for the parent-school partnership. Many more successful years for the school.

From six years old with hearts so bright,

Our twin girls stepped in, eyes full of light.

Now they’re twelve, how time has flown,

At Opera Estate, how much they’ve grown!

With guiding hands and hearts that care,

Teachers lift and help them dare.

They’ve learned, they’ve laughed, they’ve chased big dreams,

In classrooms, fields, and through team schemes.

The canteen meals? Oh, what a treat-

Nutritious, balanced, hard to beat!

With fruits and greens and meals so right,

They fuel young minds from morning to night.

From sports to art and all in between,

You’ve built their strength, kept spirits keen.

Support for growth, both big and small-

OEPS, you’ve given it all.

So here’s our cheer, both proud and true:

Thank you, Opera, for all you do!

To every teacher, every friend,

Your love and care will never end.

🎈 Happy 40th Anniversary! 🎈

With gratitude and joy, from our family to you.

I was in the Primary One batch of 1985. OEPS is a 'generational' school for me because many of my family members were students of the school before (OEGS and OEBS) and after me (OEPS). My husband is an alumni as well, but years before me in OEBS.

While many of the memories shared here are of the classes, lessons and teachers, my memories are of the friends I made and experiences I'd out of the classroom.

I remember being reprimanded by my teacher, the late Mrs Joyce De Silva for coming back to class in a muddy pinafore after recess because I was catching tadpoles in the school field with the boys.😅

I remember having my first fall outside the school trying to cross the mini concrete 'bridge' outside the main gate facing Fidelio Street, 'just for fun'.

I remember picking guava fruit from the Science garden and panicking when the police came (obviously for other reasons). 😆

I remember the smell of the school bookshop, the taste of the yummy 10 cents lime syrup in the school canteen.

I remember the music lessons with Mrs De Silva. This was where my love for music started.

I remember the table tennis sessions, my Primary 5 form teacher, the late Mr Chan Foon Yau made us have because he was in charge of table tennis.

This was where my love for table tennis ended. 🫣

Thank you for the memories, OEPS.

As an alumnus of Opera Estate Primary School, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude and utmost appreciation to the dedicated teachers and staff who were such an integral part of my journey to where I stand today. The lessons I learned and the friendships I formed would not have been possible without the foundation this school provided.

Opera was more than just a school to me—it was a second home. They used to tell us that, and now I truly understand what it means. It was the place where I nurtured my curiosity, built my confidence, and laid the groundwork for the person I’ve become. From morning assemblies to classroom lessons, those everyday moments have become lasting memories.

Some of my fondest experiences were during CCA sessions, where I learned the value of dedication, resilience, and teamwork—lessons that have stayed with me over the years and continue to guide me.

Even after all this time, I still carry the morals and values I gained from OEPS wherever I go. The atmosphere, the warmth of the community, and the support from teachers have left a deep and lasting impression that I will always be grateful for. Not everyone is lucky enough to have such a meaningful experience in primary school—but I certainly was.

Thank you, OEPS, for all the memories. Wishing you a very happy 40th anniversary!

Reflecting on My Five-Year Teaching Journey at Opera Estate Primary School

From the early days of my practicum to my official posting, Opera Estate Primary School has been a significant part of my teaching journey over the past five years. It was here that I laid the foundation of my career – a place where I grew not only as an educator but also as a leader.

Working alongside a team of dedicated and supportive colleagues, I came to truly understand the demands of teaching students with diverse abilities and the importance of working closely with parents. These experiences sharpened my teaching skills, deepened my empathy, and taught me how to adapt and lead effectively in a dynamic school environment.

I also learned how to fall – sometimes quite literally – and get back up stronger. One unforgettable memory was when we, led by the incredible Carmen, emerged as Champion House. That moment was more than just a win; it was a celebration of perseverance, teamwork, and school spirit.

Above all, I am immensely proud of my ex-students. Watching them grow and soar in their own unique ways has been the most rewarding part of this journey. To see them achieve and thrive affirms why we do what we do as educators.

Opera Estate will always hold a special place in my heart. It has shaped me, challenged me, and prepared me for the road ahead. Thank you for the memories and the many lessons – both in the classroom and beyond.

From Chai Chee Lane to Fidelio Street, Cikgu FMA, You'll Never Walk Alone. Happy 40th OEPS!

Happy 40th Birthday, my dearest alma mater! OEPS was where I spent a large part of my formative years, exploring new things, visiting new places (I remember the shop along Swan Lake where my friends and I bought the latest flash cards and snacks), and playing games with my good friends then. I am truly glad that OEPS has endured the impact of the fast changing demographics faced by so many educational institutions, such that my child is able to call OEPS his school too. I look forward to reading and hearing the thoughts of other Parents and alumni here as well!

May OEPS enjoy many more meaningful years ahead!
