In celebration of Mother’s Day, an art competition, themed ‘A Mother’s Love’ witnessed an overwhelming participation of over 140 schools,
resulting in more than 600 captivating submissions. 10 winning pieces from each of the three categories – Preschool, Primary and Upper
Primary – were unveiled and presented with prizes by guest of honour, Ms. Hany Soh, Member of Parliament and Grassroots Adviser for Marsiling Yew-Tee GRC (Woodgrove), at the “Mum’s Day Out” event on 11 and 12 May 2024 at One Holland Village.
Ms Soh took the opportunity to encourage organisations to implement family-friendly work policies that promote work-life balance and flexibility. “Initiatives such as the recently announced Tripartite Guidelines on Flexible Work Arrangement requests provide a platform for conversations between employer and employee on how organisations can better support mums and dads to effectively manage their professional and personal responsibilities. Such initiatives also deepen employee engagement and strengthen employees’ sense of belonging to their organisation,” she said.
The annual “Mum’s Day Out” promises to be a memorable event, providing a platform for families to come together and celebrate the enduring spirit of motherhood.
