My Good Deeds Journal

"Good Deeds with Sharity" is a new initiative as part of the Community Chest's Sharity Club and it aims to reinforce Caring and Sharing values to nurture the younger generation to become socially responsible citizens and this would encourage our students to be more compassionate.

With the "My Good Deeds Journal", students will be able to gain awareness on how they can care for others at their home, school and community. Here's are some selected examples of the journals done by our Primary 3 students.

After reading through the journals, what are your thoughts? Why not pen it down too? You may also want to share with everybody on your personal opinion on how you may care for others at home, school and community. So, go on and write it down in the comments below!

Vote for your favourite Captain Green

To mark the nation’s 50th year of independence, 50 schools took part in the ‘My Captain Green’ Competition which was held at ITE College Central on 16 April 2015. The 50 schools decorated the Captain Green figurines based on this year’s YED tagline: ‘Imagine. Create. Change’ and centred on the themes of cleanliness and waste minimisation.

The 50 designs had since been unveiled and they are now showcased on the YED website (https://www.yed.sg/#/captain-green-vote) for the public to vote for the ‘Most Popular Captain Green SG50 figurine’. Vote now for the best design and the winning school for the 2 categories: ‘Primary Category’ & ‘Secondary, JC, ITE Category’ will stand to win $500 each.

Performing Household Chores

Based on the positive response received last year, our CCE/VIA team rolled out the Family Household Chores Appreciation Card project once again this year!

We hope to encourage our students to assist their parents/guardians in doing household chores, as a way to show care and concern for their family members. It is also their responsibility to take charge of these tasks at home (especially of their own rooms).

This year, we hope to also garner greater parents' engagement. We would like to encourage parents to pen down your thoughts upon seeing your child's efforts and work through the completion of the household tasks.

One of our P6 boys, Bryan Sun from 6A, has been consistently helping his parents with the household chores. You may want to view his appreciation card that was nicely done up:

EDP Community contributes to Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund

"On 25-May-2015, our School launched the initiative to facilitate the fund-raising by Singapore Red Cross Society for its disaster humanitarian relief effort in aid of Nepal Earthquake. A presentation to raise awareness of Singapore's response to the disaster and to appeal for donations was given during the morning assembly to the students and staff. A donation booth has been set up and manned by the parent volunteers of EDP Parent Support Group. The students and staff responded overwhelmingly with generous donations and many well-wishing notes. This 3-days fund-raising donation drive concluded with tremendous success and the EDP community was happy to be able to make a difference in helping the people of Nepal."

The video of the presentation can be found here.
