Cantonment Primary School

Ready, Set, Cook!

Our Cub Scouts put their cooking skills to the test at a Cook-Off competition held at Mayflower Secondary School on Saturday, 22 August. Their challenge was to plan and prepare a two-course meal for two — all within just one hour.

With ingredients, utensils, pots and pans packed and ready, our Scouts had to take charge once the clock started ticking! They worked independently, made decisions along the way and adapted when things didn’t quite go according to plan. From preparing their dishes to managing their time, there was certainly no shortage of thinking on their feet!

Once the cooking was done, the Scouts also had to clean up their stations before presenting their creations to the judges. It was a great opportunity for them to take ownership of the entire process — from planning and cooking to presenting and cleaning up.

Most importantly, they showed that learning can happen beyond the classroom. Through this hands-on experience, our Scouts grew in confidence, learnt to be more self-directed and discovered that a little creativity, teamwork and perseverance can go a long way.

And the best part? Getting to sit down and savour the food they had prepared themselves! The Scouts also went home with a special Cook-Off apron as a souvenir.

A big thank you to our supportive parents for helping with the preparation and coming down to cheer our Scouts on. Your support definitely made the experience even more meaningful!

Well done, Cub Scouts! You took on the challenge, adapted along the way and cooked up a memorable experience!

On 15 August 2026, our Wushu and International Dance CCA students had the privilege of performing at the Tanjong Pagar GRC, Queenstown and Radin Mas SMCs National Day Dinner.

This marked our third consecutive year of collaboration with the community through Wushu, and our first year featuring International Dance.

As our students took the stage, they used their talents to contribute to the celebrations, representing the school with confidence and pride. Through the experience, they demonstrated a Will to Act, adapted to new settings and worked together to contribute beyond the school, strengthening their sense of belonging to the wider community.

We are deeply grateful to the Organising Committee and our community partners for welcoming our students and giving them the opportunity to contribute to be part of this celebration.

We also sincerely thank Mr Foo Cexiang, MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC, our Principal, Ms Foo, and our parent-volunteers for their unwavering support and encouragement.

It was a special occasion for our students to experience the joy of coming together, giving back and playing their part in something larger than themselves.

CPS celebrating Singapore’s 61st Birthday Together! 🇸🇬

Our school community came together to celebrate Singapore’s 61st birthday with a meaningful National Day Observance Ceremony, joined by our students, staff and parents.

Together, we sang the National Anthem and recited the Pledge with pride, affirming our shared identity and sense of belonging to Singapore. The celebrations continued with lively community singing and our Lower Primary Games Day, where students strengthened friendships and teamwork through fun-filled activities. Meanwhile, our Upper Primary students reflected on Singapore’s journey and their role in shaping our nation’s future.

Through these shared experiences, we deepen our love and pride for Singapore.

Happy 61st Birthday, Singapore! Majulah Singapura! 🇸🇬❤️

Part 2: Primary 5 National Education (NE) Show
NE Show at National Stadium

The NE Show 2026 was an unforgettable experience for our Primary 5 students at the National Stadium. We were especially proud to cheer on one of our own students, Elijah from P5 Respect who performed in the show. Together, we sang the National Anthem and recited the National Pledge with pride, affirming our shared identity as Singaporeans. Students were captivated by the spectacular performances and gained a deeper appreciation of Singapore through the stories and significance behind each segment. The opportunity to take photos with two Singapore Armed Forces officers added to the excitement and made the experience even more memorable. The evening strengthened our students' sense of belonging and deepened their pride, love, and appreciation for Singapore.
