Embracing a Multi-Coloured World EMBRACING A MULTI-COLOURED WORLD January 2020 Beyond the Meet our MNC Recruitment Four Walls Donation Firm Hudson Box Uncle Trains APSNians 1 MCI (P) 061/02/2019 CONTENTS 04 Beyond the Four Walls 07 Meet our Donation Box Uncle 08 CEO’S MESSAGE Events & Outreach Developing Polymaths Some of the world’s most remarkable figures have been polymaths – Winston Churchill, Leonardo da Vinci, and our very own Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Polymaths refer to individuals who have achieved expertise in a significant number of fields. Churchill was a great British statesman, Nobel Prize Laureate for Literature, and gifted painter. Da Vinci’s areas of expertise 10 included invention, art, architecture, music, mathematics, science and cartography. PM Lee was the top mathematics graduate in his year at Cambridge University, created a source code for solving Sudoku puzzles, is an astute leader, and his Facebook MNC Recruitment Firm photography is widely loved. Hudson Trains APSNians In a similar vein, APSN educators aim to develop human beings holistically by exposing them to the many facets of life. This is done by giving them opportunities to perform and showcase their creative talents (e.g. at Purple Parade and TS Artistry), to develop various work proficiencies (e.g. through Hudson training in interview, CV skills), and to expand their worldview and 11 hearts by giving back (e.g. NTUC FairPrice’s Walk for Rice fundraiser). Make an Impact A standout example of an APSN polymath is APSN Centre for Adults’ Gabriel Mendoza who is a talented photographer, film- maker, barista, cashier, cook and all-round sweetheart. A special needs community made up of polymaths like Gabriel can not with Every Dollar You Give only contribute to the advancement of our country, but also humanity as a whole. My APSN team has been hard at work to provide many more opportunities for our beneficiaries to explore their vast polymathic potential. Stay tuned for updates! And have a happy Lunar New Year! Dr Christopher Tay Chief Executive Officer of APSN INTRODUCTION 3 BEYOND THE FOUR WALLS APSN does not just focus on vocational training and education, but also exposes its beneficiaries to the worlds outside the classroom.

  • 2Nd REPLY by MS GRACE FU, SENIOR MINISTER of STATE for NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT and EDUCATION, on DELIVERING a STUDENT- CENTRIC EDUCATION
    FY 2011 COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY DEBATE: 2nd REPLY BY MS GRACE FU, SENIOR MINISTER OF STATE FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION, ON DELIVERING A STUDENT- CENTRIC EDUCATION 1. Sir, allow me to address specific issues raised by members, and elaborate on two key areas: (i) First, our efforts to create a student-centric learning environment; and; (iii) Second, providing more support for students with special needs. (I) SUBSTANTIVE AND INNOVATIVE INVESTMENTS TO DELIVER A STUDENT- CENTRIC EDUCATION Enhanced School Infrastructure to Support Holistic Education 2. Mrs Josephine Teo and Mdm Halimah Yacob asked for an update on the Primary Education Review and Implementation Committee’s (or PERI) recommendations. We are upgrading 40 more Primary schools in Phase 3. This will facilitate primary schools to transit to single session and allow strengthening of non- academic aspects of education like PE, Art and Music. 3. These upgraded schools will have newer and better facilities to support more innovative and engaging lessons. Allow me to cite a few examples. 4. The first slide shows a PE lesson at Hougang Primary School. To support a more holistic education, indoor sports halls such as this will allow PE lessons and CCAs to be conducted throughout the day, rain or shine. All schools that need it will be equipped with synthetic turf, which is cheaper to maintain and can be used immediately after it rains. 5. For the Performing and Visual Arts, schools will have band rooms, dance studios, and performing arts studios. Here we see a Performing Arts Studio at Lianhua Primary, which is integrated into the library to maximise the use of space.
