Total Defence Day 2026
9 February 2026
See how our school marked Total Defence Day 2026 through hands-on activities, an assembly show, and a simulated power disruption exercise.
In commemoration of Total Defence Day, our school organised a range of activities, such as assembly programmes, recess activities and a simulated power disruption exercise. These activities were designed to create an engaging and meaningful learning experience, helping students deepen their understanding of the Total Defence message — that everyone has a role to play in standing together to protect Singapore and our shared way of life.

Our Parent Support Group commemorated Total Defence Day with our Lakers

Civil Defence – Be Prepared! Students stepped into the role of defence planners as they packed emergency supplies using maths skills such as counting, grouping, and sharing equally. Through this activity, they learnt the importance of being prepared and working together during emergencies.

Military Defence – The Weight of Defence. By estimating and comparing the weight of defence equipment, students gained a deeper appreciation of the physical demands faced by our servicemen. This hands-on maths activity helped them connect numbers to real-life experiences of strength and perseverance.

Psychological Defence – Crack the Code. Students put on their thinking caps as they solve maths questions and crack secret codes! Through calm problem-solving and positive thinking, they discovered messages about staying resilient and strong in the face of challenges.
