Dear students,

Once again, we have come to the time of the year where we can do our part to contribute to the less-privileged communities in Singapore.

Every year, the Community Chest (ComChest) seeks to raise awareness and funds for 80 over designated charities in Singapore through the Youth Day Appeal (YDA), which is participated by more than 150,000 students and staff in schools in Singapore.

The YDA $ donations will be collected in class on this Wednesday morning by your respective form teacher/s.

Alternatively, you can utilise the QR code below for digital banking contribution:

Note: for digital donation, scan the QR code above using i-Banking app. If you do not have the i-Banking app, you may approach your parents for assistance.

For it is in giving that we receive. Let us all do our little part to contribute to a more gracious and compassionate society. 

Thank you on behalf of ComChest.
