A day of treats. Deserving students get their pizza reward after achieving SA1 goals. Working harder for the prelim targets now! P.S. Domino’s Pizza – Singapore we should be your ambassador! 🤣

A Sec 1 student came for our potluck party for the P6 and secondary school students last Sunday even though he had no one to send him (parents were abroad) and was exhausted (he had just ended four days of camp.) Later on, when the party was ending, he asked if he could stay overnight[…]
