To continue with our community involvement, we had the opportunity of appreciating the ‘Super Heroes’ of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) who assist in the Myanmar earthquake. The other event was a community talk by Rocher Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC).
Event 1 - Appreciating the efforts of Singapore Civil Defence Force
On 6th May 2025, children from Khalsa Kindergarten took the initiative to thank the team of 80 personnel consisted of elite Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART), operationally ready National Servicemen, full-time National Servicemen medical doctors, paramedics, search specialists with four dogs, hazardous materials specialists and support officers and four search canines from Singapore Civil Defence Force who left on March 29 to assist the rescue efforts in the earthquake that occured in Myanmar.
In appreciation of the rescuers’ efforts, children across the levels prepared a ‘Thank You’ card. Khalsa Kindergarten partnered with Nursery children’s parents in preparing the ‘Thank You’ card, whereby children used their creativity and wrote heartwarming words on the cards with guidance from their parents.
Children of K1 and K2 discussed on the topic of Myanmar Earthquake which affected thousands of people who had died. Children brainstormed what they could do to show their appreciation for 80 SCDF personnel rescuers. In the end, they prepared the cards in class, by writing a short message and decorated the card.
Event 2: Community Visit by Rocher Neighbourhood Police Centre
Khalsa Kindergarten was delighted to collaborate with Rocher Neighbourhood Police Centre for the second year again. On 15th May 2025, K1 and K2 children attended the community talk on Crime Prevention by the Police Officer at Khalsa Association’s premises.
The talk was held during the school’s curriculum hours. The officers started the talk by introducing the different units of Singapore Police Force which was Responsive Police Officer, Community Police Officer and Traffice Police Officer. This event instilled the sense of awareness among the children on the topics on safety, bullying, stealing and talking to strangers among the children.
Children were engaged throughout the Talk and they were brought to explore the Police vehicle. Also, the children were excited to receive the goodie bag.
