Internationalisation Efforts in 2024

Overseas Cultural Exchange Programme with Anubansamsen School

The purpose of the visit is to provide opportunities for interaction between the students of both schools, and to help Lakers develop their civil, global and cross-cultural literacy by understanding Thailand’s history, culture and language.

Our Lakers took charge by warmly hosting their Thai visitors, introducing them to Singapore's culture by visiting the Geylang Serai Heritage Gallery and sharing the tradition of Batik painting, even gifting them Batik artworks. The Lakers also led the Amazing Race within the school, allowing the visitors to learn about both Singapore's and the school's history in a fun and engaging way.

International Friendship Day

The theme for IFD this year is Singapore in Asia. The theme is maintained to encourage Lakers to play an active role in fostering people-to-people ties, celebrate the region’s diversity and vibrancy and promote the spirit of friendship and collaboration.

Our school conducted a variety of activities to create an engaging and meaningful experience for Lakers to deepen their understanding of the relations that we share with other countries.
