Tadika Seri Soka’s 31st Graduation Ceremony Sees 124 Children Take Flight with Hope and Courage

Tadika Seri Soka (TSS) held its 31st graduation ceremony at its hall on 6 December 2025, an important milestone for the 124 graduates. The compassionate spirit and education ideals of TSS founder Daisaku Ikeda permeated the hall. 

The graduates strode confidently into the hall in their graduation robes as teachers and parents welcomed them with heartfelt, jubilant applause. As the children received their graduation certificates, they smiled brightly, radiating joy and growth. 

TSS principal Ho Lee Choo encouraged the children to embody the TSS motto – “Strong, Righteous, Lively” – and to keep learning and growing, and shine brightly. TSS board of governors chairperson Prof Dato’ Dr Christopher Boey Chiong Meng shared the contents of a previous congratulatory message by Daisaku Ikeda, urging them to face challenges courageously, and advance with unshakeable spirit, making the treasures within their hearts shine. 

The graduating children presented the play Kanta and the Deer, based on the eponymous children’s story written by the founder. Their performance conveyed messages of never giving up while facing adversity, advancing courageously and making friendships that value life. 

At the close, the children expressed their dreams and courage for the future through song. They now embark on a new chapter in their learning journey, embracing these precious treasures in their hearts.
