What’s inside… Series of Activities January to June 2018 We welcome our new Primary 1 from Jurong West, Frontier, Juying, Henry Park and Boon Lay Garden Primary School. Despite coming from the various schools, they have come together as one, making friends in our YMCA Student Care Centre. We hope to cultivate the YMCA values into our children. As the saying goes, "Train up a child in a way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Signature Programmes
Y Junior Entrepreneurship Programme 2018 (YJEP) For our Y Junior Entrepreneurship Programme this year, we embarked on a fruitful journey into making handmade crochet keychains for selling at the Ki-Bies Carnival. All our students were involved in the making, packaging and helping with decorating the booth. Our student volunteers even managed to pose with our Prime Minister Lee on the day of the carnival. We had a successful event where all our products were sold out. Special thanks to all the parents support, especially Pearl Low’s mother for volunteering her time in teaching us crocheting.
