July 2015 – December 2015 Dear Parents, In a flash, 2015 is over, and we are ushering in the new year of 2016 – a year of endless possibilities and adventure. However we shall not forget the great fun we had in 2015, as we take a look at our many activities.
We visited the Police Heritage Centre. During the guided tour, the children were able to learn more about the men of vision who played a significant role in the development of the Singapore Police Force and the transformation of the police uniform and its badges of rank as the Force evolved over the years..

Happy faces at the Fire Station Heritage Centre
During the September holidays, we brought the children to the Fire Station and Police Station Heritage Tour. It was an amazing trip for the children as they were able walk down memory lane of how the fire fighting and rescue technology have progressed throughout the years. They were also able to have close up experience of what fire fighters and rescuers undergo in an operation.
