Global Indian International School receives 'Appreciation Award' from Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Lee Hsien Loong

Singapore's largest Indian event was organised by the SINDA (Singapore Indian Development Association), on 27 Mar 2004, to honour its 3000 over strong volunteer force which has significantly contributed significantly towards the educational development of Singaporean Indians.

Deputy Prime Minister Hon'ble Mr. Lee Hsien Loong officiated as the Guest of Honour, and also present at the ceremony were, Singapore Foreign Minister Hon'ble Prof S Jayakumar, Acting Minister for Education Hon'ble Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Member of Parliament & President of SINDA Mr K Shanmugam, Mr Satpal Khattar, Member of Council of Presidential Advisors Mr. J Y Pillay other distinguished Ministers and Members of Parliaments and other dignitaries from the Indian Community in Singapore.

Bhavan's Indian International School was entrusted to deliver a very key message to the Indian community in Singapore – "Unity in Diversity" as a opening message to DPM Lee and invited guests. This was achieved through a brilliant performance of "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara" by over 80 BIIS students, showing colourful diversity of some of its most beautiful states of Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Maharashtra, Assam, Gujarat & Punjab.

Captivated by the strong message of Unity in Diversity, which always makes all Indians proud of, DPM Lee remarked that it was indeed an "outstanding performance by a school".

Two other schools, Raffles Girls School (RGS) and Chinese High (CH) performed later in the ceremony and presented Indian Orchestra and Chinese Orchestra respectively.

Deputy Prime Minister Hon'ble Mr. Lee Hsien Loong also awarded the "Appreciation Award" to the Bhavan's Indian International School, which was received by it's Chairman (Administrative Board), Mr. Atul Temurnikar.
