Every first day looks a little different − in MOE Kindergarten @ Sembawang, to Sembawang Primary, and in Bukit Batok Secondary. As a new school year begins, students step into new classrooms, make new friends, and experience many firsts, supported by their parents, teachers and school staff.

A small wave, and a big step forward – the school year begins at MOE Kindergarten @ Sembawang with equal parts excitement and nerves.

For school staff, it’s a familiar gate; for the children, it’s a brand-new world waiting.

A gentle reminder, a helping hand − even the smallest acts of care make a big difference on the first day.

Tiny hands learn new routines, one shoe, one quiet moment at a time.

“Line up, everyone!” At Sembawang Primary, the first lesson in independence begins with learning how to move together.

Curiosity thrives in the classroom as students put their hands up, eager to learn.

Choices at the canteen, questions at the counter. Everyday moments become lessons in confidence-building.

Parents lean in, listen, and laugh, sharing the journey as their children enter a new environment.

At Bukit Batok Secondary, familiar faces and laughter signal a return to routines.

A reassuring arm around a younger schoolmate, reminding them: you’re not walking this journey alone.

Inside the classroom, confidence shows up in familiar routines, friendships, and smiles.
