Guillemard East Primary School was located behind Singapore Badminton Hall. Sadly, it closed in 1987 due to low enrollment.

Fond Memories

That school held fond childhood memories for me. It's also where my father worked as a teacher.

Inspiration for Fiction

Fiction inspired by fragments of the Author's memories from decades ago, Little Nonya's Escapades is set in this cherished old school.

A Piece of Singapore History

The school represents a piece of Singapore's educational history that's now gone. Through my writing, I preserve these memories and share what life was like in a simpler time.

Personal Connection

Having my father work there as a teacher made the school even more special to me. The halls, classrooms, and playground became the backdrop for many childhood adventures—some real, some imagined, and some that became the foundation for Little Nonya's Escapades.
