Innova Primary School was a vibrant hub of patriotic spirit and unity on August 8th as it joyously celebrated National Day. The entire school community, both students and staff, embraced the patriotic theme by wearing red and white tops, symbolizing their pride for the nation. Under the overarching theme for National Day 2023, 'Onwards As One,' the celebration kicked off with a captivating marching contingent that paraded in the school's parade square. The recollection was accompanied by the heartfelt rendition of 'My People, My Home,' a patriotic anthem that resonated deeply with everyone present.

The celebrations reached new heights with a creatively engaging classroom activity: the Upcycling project to Make Your Own (Tote) Bag (MYOB). The school community, including the Parent Support Group (PSG), joined hands to guide and assist young minds in crafting their tote bags from recycled T-shirts. This initiative seamlessly aligned with the National Day theme, 'Onwards As One,' by promoting sustainability and contributing to the vision of a Zero-Waste Nation. A remarkable achievement was recorded in the school's annals as they proudly documented the creation of 1,022 T-shirt tote bags, showcasing the collective commitment to progress and environmental responsibility.
