DGS 165th Anniversary Homecoming Carnival (19 & 20 December 2025)
As a special celebration for the School’s 165th Anniversary, the DGS Homecoming Carnival was held over two days that hosted thousands of guests on the Jordan Road campus. The Carnival encompassed our annual Mini Bazaar, an Open House event by DGJS, the DOGA Centennial Opening Ceremony, the Sustainability Fun Fair, and a range of music, dance and drama performances across school grounds. There was also a wonderful variety of food and snacks arranged by the PTA, as well as colourful decorations around the buildings contributed by students, teachers and parents alike.
Besides current students and their family members, we welcomed back many alumnae from across the decades, as well as members of the School Council, our former headmistresses and teachers for a weekend of heart-warming reunion. The two-day carnival culminated in a finale performance in the evening that centred around the theme of the life a DGS girl – from the tender age walking through the gates of 1 Jordan Road, to encountering the many possibilities and challenges later on in life, according to the recollections of an old alumna. Indeed, DGS has always been a place where we live out our school motto “Daily Giving Service” from generation to generation.

Gospel Week (4 - 7 November 2025)
The annual Gospel Week led by the Youth Fellowship was held in the first week of November, on the theme “The Transformative Power of God”. To begin the three–day special morning assemblies, a recent graduate returned to her alma mater to share a moving testimony of her struggles in her educational journey, highlighting how she grew in her faith and even in her academics as she learnt to recognize that God is her true sustainer.
The next morning saw a Toy Story-inspired drama starring main characters Woody and Forky in their quest to realize their self-worth as beloved toys of their owner Bonnie. The final assembly concluded with a heartfelt worship session with sincere personal testimonies from our girls.
The Gospel Week culminated in the Evangelistic Meeting on Friday afternoon, led by youth worship band Gyro Band of U-Fire Networks. Using a creative phone-in talk show format and original music, the band powerfully conveyed the message that through the sacrifice of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, God understands our pain, walks alongside us, and offers strength to face life's challenges. May many in our school community come to experience the redemptive love and power of Christ’s salvation!

As part of this new partnership, we appointed our first student "Google Cloud Ambassadors", who will be empowered to share their AI literacy with the wider community.
