Children of SKC celebrated Total Defence Day. On this special day, we are reminded of what could happen if we cannot defend ourselves, just like what had happened in 1942 during the Japanese occupation in Singapore. And from then, we learn and build resilience in keeping Singapore secure, independent and safe from threats. This event fostered a sense of appreciation to all military and civil workers, including healthcare workers of their contributions and hard work to keep Singapore safe.
Brave firefighters and police officers here to defend Singapore!
Through celebrating Total Defence Day, the children understand the importance of their role in keeping Singapore safe through the 6 pillars of defence. Social defence where community care was emphasized as the the children learn how to live harmoniously and look out for one another. Civil defence was also highlighted where the children learn how to take care of family, friends and people around us in times of crisis.

The children discussed on the many contributions of the frontline workers, and expressed their appreciation through dressing up as firemen, nurses, soldiers and many more!

The children across the levels created their Total Defence Day crafts. The older children (K1 and K2) also shared with their friends and teachers about the craft they made. They also shared ideas on how they themselves can protect Singapore.

The younger age groups (PG - N1) was also invited to be involved in our Total Defence Day celebration! Our PGs did a soldier fingerpainting artwork and the N1 decorated a soldier’s helmet using paper cutouts and other craft materials!
Let’s all do our part to keep Singapore safe!
Happy Total Defence Day!
