On 19 April 2024, My First Skool at 491 Admiralty Link celebrated Hari Raya in conjunction with a donation drive for our SWAMI Home residents. Parents were invited to make a contribution to SWAMI Home and in return, had the opportunity to participate in games and activities as well as a food tasting activity with us. We were heartened to receive so much support from our parents in terms of the items received.
