History
Good Shepherd Convent Kindergarten was established in 1954 by the Good Shepherd Sisters. The mission was to provide quality pre-school education to the children in Singapore. Today, many parents who are former students have enrolled their children in the kindergarten.
The Good Shepherd Sisters
Moved by compassionate love, the Good Shepherd Sisters of Singapore-Malaysia Province committed themselves to live the Good Shepherd Mission in an evolving partnership with lay staff, volunteers, benefactors and many others who share the Good Shepherd Spirit and Charism.
