Datin Paduka Sister Enda...

Sister Enda Ryan, the former principal of my Alma Mater, Assunta Convent, has been conferred the Darjah Kebesaran Datuk (DSIS) which carries the title Datuk Paduka by the Sultan of Selangor in conjunction with his 62nd birthday on Tuesday.

This recognition could not have been more appropriately bestowed to one more deserving than Sister Enda.

She has devoted her entire life to Assunta, and to setting high standards among her teachers and students. Sister Enda continues to be an inspiration to me and to many other Assuntarians.

Thank you, Sister Enda. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

Email from Sister Enda, "It was my joy to have TWO Assuntarians receiving awards with me today (11 Dec) in the BEAUTIFUL palace in Klang. As well as Datin Paduka Seri Jeanne, there was the Parlimentary Secretary to Ministry of Education, Datuk P. Komala Devi -'71 batch. Many thanks for messages of congratulations." » Read stories at Assunta Alumni and do Sign Sister's Guestbook :)

Hi zorro,

Five out of eight sisters are Assuntarians. And we all turned out ok. Not bad, huh?

The first sister was educated in Singpore. Sisters no. 7 and no. 8 (the second youngest and the last) went to Sri Aman in P.Jaya.

Yes, MRT tomorrow.
