Centre of New Life Schoolhouse

Recent conversations on bullying in schools remind us that creating safe spaces for children goes beyond discipline — it begins with teaching empathy, respect, and kindness from young. 🌱

This article by The Straits Times shares an important perspective on how breaking the cycle of bullying requires more than rules alone.

At Centre of New Life Schoolhouse, we believe anti-bullying starts with intentionally nurturing children through Social Emotional Learning (SEL) — helping them learn empathy, respectful communication, emotional awareness, and kindness in everyday interactions. 💛

We define bullying clearly, intervene early and consistently, empower children to speak up for others, and work closely with parents to reinforce positive values both in school and at home.

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and valued. By shaping hearts early, we hope to nurture a generation that chooses compassion over cruelty and courage over silence. 🌿

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day 🌸

In today’s ever-changing world, motherhood comes with new challenges and different needs for every child. It is not always an easy journey — and no mother is ever “perfect.” 💛

But to the little hearts watching you each day, your love, care, patience, and sacrifices mean more than you know. They see it. They feel it. And often, it is the little things you do that shape their world and keep them going. 🌿

So today, give yourself a gentle pat on the shoulder and be proud of the mother you are. ✨

From all of us at Centre of New Life Schoolhouse,
we celebrate and appreciate every mum today and always. 🌷

🎉 Celebrating Families Together

On 18 April 2026, Centre of New Life Schoolhouse was honoured to be part of the 3rd Healthy Family Day 2026, organised by Singapore Father School at Marina Barrage.

Our children took to the stage with joyful hearts, putting up a special performance as part of this meaningful community event — a celebration of healthy families and the importance of marriage and parenthood. 💛

This was also a special way for us to celebrate our own Parents’ Day, honouring the love, dedication, and support of the families we journey with every day. 🌿

We are thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a purposeful ground-up initiative — and even more grateful for our children and families who made the day so memorable. ✨

✨ Staff Training Day — Growing Together

On 27 March, our team came together for a meaningful Staff Training Day focused on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) — an approach that supports inclusive teaching by meeting the diverse learning needs of every child. 🌱

It was a day filled with collaboration, creativity, and shared learning. From exploring new ideas together to designing our very own team t-shirts, we strengthened not just our skills, but also our unity and shared purpose. 💛

We also enjoyed a lovely time of fellowship over lunch — a chance to connect, recharge, and encourage one another.

We are thankful to partner with Little Olive Tree Preschool for this training, held at Foochow Methodist Church.

It was truly a productive, engaging, and memorable day — one that left our team inspired and ready to continue nurturing every child entrusted to us. ✨

✝️ This Easter, we celebrate a love that brings new life.

Because of God’s great love, we are given more than forgiveness —
we are given hope, renewal, and a new beginning. 💛

At Centre of New Life Schoolhouse, this is the heart behind what we do.
The love we have received, we share with every child —
nurturing them with grace, patience, and compassion as they grow. 🌿

Today, we celebrate not just what was done,
but the new life we are invited to live each day.

Happy Easter 🤍
