Support NorthLight School

A highlight of Mensa Singapore’s 20th anniversary Gala Dinner is its community outreach programme. Mensa Singapore is working with NorthLight School (NLS) which takes in students who have repeatedly failed their PSLE and prepares them for lifelong learning and employability so the students can make positive contributions to the community.

You have to read this introductory post on NorthLight School by Daniel to know more about the school and its mission.

I have heard heart-warming stories about the teachers and students in this school from several acquaintances. Even Education Minister Ng Eng Hen gushes over this school at an Education forum I attended.

He praised the good leadership of Principal Mrs Chua Yen Ching and her dedicated teachers and staff, and spoke with pride on the long waiting list of teachers wanting to teach in NorthLight School.

NorthLight School needs our support. Without it, I cannot imagine what would happen to the lives of the hundreds of students it is now helping. The students are learning skills which would help them to be independent and be useful citizens to the society.

Underprivileged students formed the bulk of the intake each year. Many students stay far from the school. One student lives in Kota Tinggi and every day, he travels for 4 hours each way to attend school.

Meals and transport costs are the main expenses of these students.

Each needy student needs an average of S$400 per year in assistance.

Contribute to the students’ assistance fund. Your contribution will go into providing the meal coupons, transport allowance and school uniform to the needy students.
