I CAN Award Ceremony 2025

On March 18, we spent an evening at Zhonghua Primary School with close to 50 students, their families and teachers for the I CAN Award Ceremony 2025! 

Since 2013, the I CAN Award Ceremony has been held annually to give recognition to students under the School Goodie Bag programme, who have made significant Improvements in Conduct & Behaviour, School Attendance and Non-academic activities (such as involvement in community work, CCA, sports, arts, music or dance). These students are nominated by their teachers for their diligence and great efforts.

Guests were treated to an evening of lively celebrations, photo booth and delicious food. Before the awards ceremony, student-led Project Arts for Hearts brought two inspiring performances. The group is formed by students from different schools, between the ages of 16 to 18 years old, who share the belief that art has the power to create meaningful change.

 

Tanjong Katong Girls' School Dance Club treated everyone to an uplifting piece titled 'From Now On' 

Jayden filled the hall with melodious tunes as he played two songs - 'Blue' by Yung Kai and 'Photograph' by Ed Sheeran to end the evening's programme

About 50 students received the I CAN Award this year, for their Improvements in Conduct & Behaviour, School Attendance and Non-academic activities

After the ceremony, award recipients and guests indulged in special treats such as a live shaved ice cone station, buffet dinner, and more!

Each award recipient also went home with a Food from the Heart tote bag, filled with goodies like TRULY NUTS! Milk Chocolate Brazil Nuts, Kinder Bueno, and even a handmade crochet plush toy! Special thanks to donors TRULY NUTS!, Ferrero Asia Pacific and SuFen.

Just like the teachers and parents, we are so proud of all our student award recipients! More than simply nourishing students lives through our food packs, we hope that the I CAN Award motivates them to continue embodying the I CAN spirit, build strong character and courage to overcome any obstacle that they may face. 

We are also immensely grateful to Zhonghua Primary School for being our generous venue sponsor for the night
