We wish our Muslim friends peace and joy this Hari Raya Haji. 🌙

May the spirit of faith, sacrifice, and compassion bring blessings to your families and harmony to our nation.

Heavenly Father,
we thank You for the gift of mothers.
Bless them for the countless ways
they give life, love, comfort, and guidance.
Strengthen them in moments of weariness,
comfort them in moments of worry,
and fill their hearts with Your peace.
Through the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
may all mothers continue to reflect
patience, sacrifice, tenderness, and unwavering faith.
May they know they are deeply loved,
appreciated, and never unseen in the work they do each day.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

From classroom to leadership, Mr Cheok Hai Choo lived the Lasallian spirit of faith, service, and community. His legacy continues in all he inspired.
May is soul Rest in Peace.

Growing up, many of us must have experienced playing in the rain. Walking home from school, just being drenched by the rain, was a treat for some—"Shiok siah!"

Do you have such an experience? Does it trigger memories of a certain song or just a game of football? Do share your thoughts with us here!

Back to the link, there seems to be a science to feeling good in the rain. The article suggests that rain releases negative air ions, which form as raindrops collide or hit a surface and split apart. At high levels, these are known to boost serotonin and alpha waves in the brain, leading to a happier, more relaxed state.

Go read on, and don't forget to share your likes or experiences, drenched by the rain or those school days!

Four benefits of going out in the rain Humans are more sensitive to the smell of rain than sharks are to blood. And rain has some surprising benefits for our bodies too – especially when it comes to our mood.

Screen time is a global concern! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limits for kid. As with Singapore, countries like Japan 🇯🇵 and South Korea 🇰🇷 are taking steps to regulate youth screen use. How about we, as parents and guidance, start these conversations 🤔?
1. Talk openly: Ask your teens about their screen time habits, social media, online safety, and what THEY think is healthy.
2. Set boundaries together: Involve them in setting rules, so they're more likely to stick to.
3. Focus on balance: Encourage offline fun – sports, hobbies, hangouts!
👀 Model healthy habits: Show them responsible screen use (put down your phone at dinner, etc.)
📱 Use tech wisely: Explore screen time tracking apps like Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing (Android)

Conversation starters:
What's your fave app, and why?
How do you feel about social media? Stressing you out? 😬
What's a healthy amount of screen time, you think? 🤷‍♂️
Wishing you all the best on this parenting journey 🙏
