International Friendship Day 2025
The theme "Singapore: Forging Friendships in a Complex World" will guide International Friendship Day celebrations from 2025 to 2027. As the global landscape evolves, international cooperation remains vital for Singapore to address global challenges and seize new opportunities.
Cedar Primary School orchestrated a series of engaging activities to enhance students' understanding of ASEAN and other countries. Through thoughtfully planned recess activities across various school locations and age-appropriate Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) lessons on ASEAN, students gained deeper insights into different cultures and perspectives. These enriching experiences prepare them to contribute meaningfully to a cohesive, globally connected society whilst maintaining Singapore's relevance in an increasingly complex world.

The school's canteen vendors enthusiastically supported International Friendship Day by preparing an array of international dishes throughout the week. Information on each dish was placed in front od each stall. Students and teachers alike eagerly anticipated the special-edition menu- Kimchi Fried Rice, Mee Soto, Aglio Olio and Dim Sum.

Hari Raya Celebration
The school commemorated Hari Raya Puasa with an assembly programme on Thursday, 16 April.
The celebration commenced with an impressive Silat performance led by a Primary 4 student, Hadif. While the movements performed by the students appeared simple, they carried deep cultural significance and formed the foundation for more complex sequences.

A highlight of the celebration was a live performance by Sri Mahligai, a distinguished Singaporean Malay folk ensemble established in 2000. The group, renowned for their international performances over two decades, showcased traditional music featuring the accordion. They enriched students' understanding of Ramadan, the fasting month, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri through visual presentations and interactive activities, including demonstrations of proper samping wear for boys. Staff and students participated enthusiastically, clapping along to the music and engaging wholeheartedly in the activities.

The celebration concluded with Malay Language students performing a final Raya song, bringing the event to a memorable close.

Over the two-week period, pupils engaged in a range of enriching activities that brought the beauty of their Mother Tongue cultures to life.
These included hands-on experiences such as Batik Painting, Ketupat Weaving, Rangoli Designs, Clay Lamp Painting, Opera Mask Painting, and Peranakan Tile Design.

Through these interactive sessions, pupils explored traditional art forms while deepening their appreciation for their linguistic and cultural roots.
It was heartening to witness our pupils participating with enthusiasm and pride as they connected with their heritage in memorable and meaningful ways.

Primary 4 Cultural Camp
Our Primary 4 Cultural Camp provided pupils with a meaningful cross-cultural learning experience, deepening their appreciation for Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage.

Through engaging activities, pupils explored various cultural traditions in an authentic and enjoyable way. They experienced elements of Chinese culture through Wushu, expressed themselves through Indian Dance, and gained insight into Malay culture by learning Silat.

These activities not only enriched their understanding of traditional art forms but also fostered respect and appreciation for the diverse cultures that shape our nation.
