Welcome to the website of the

St. Margaret’s Ex-Students’ Association (SMESA), Singapore.

St. Margaret’s, Singapore’s oldest girls school, was established in 1842 by Mrs Maria Dyer of the London Missionary Society. It was originally named the Chinese Girls’ School. Orphan girls who were mui tsai (girls sold to servitude) were given an education in English and were taught home-making skills and the Christian faith at the school. In 1861, the school moved from North Bridge Road to 134 Sophia Road. In 1900, it came under the auspices of the Church of England Zenana Missionary Society and was known as CEZMS School. After World War II, the name was changed to St. Margaret’s School. In 1960, the secondary school moved to 111 Farrer Road, while the primary school remained at Sophia Road.

Today, St. Margaret’s vision of character-building prevails. As an established, dynamic school, she continues to stimulate minds and nurture lives to produce women of Charity, Patience and Devotion.

The St. Margaret’s Ex-Students’ Association (SMESA) is proud to be part of the rich heritage of the school. We hope that you will have an enjoyable time reading about SMESA's mission, activities and membership details presented in this website.

The SMESA website was set up in April 2004 to foster closer ties among our alumni members, staff members of the primary & secondary schools and parents of past & current students and to enable us to work hand-in-hand to meet SMESA's goals and objectives.

We are very pleased that, with the SMESA website, alumni members are now able to communicate with one another. Our website address is smesa.org.sg and our e-mail address is enquiries@smesa.org.sg. We look forward to hearing your views and suggestions on our website, our activities and our newsletters.

The SMESA website is linked to the websites of St. Margaret’s Primary School and St. Margaret’s Secondary School. This is yet another significant step in bringing members of the St. Margaret's family together.

We hope that the SMESA website will be a useful means for the St. Margaret’s family to work and stay together.
