Sacred Heart Secondary School welcomes and appreciates all forms of assistance from the community.
“As our school is not fully funded by the authorities, any help extended to Sacred Heart means a lot to everyone here, ” school principal David Teo Wu said after receiving donations of face masks and hand sanitisers from two community leaders, Councillor Joseph Chieng and Kapitan Lau Hieng Choon.
Teo said the school relied heavily on the community’s support to grow and funds were needed for repairs and maintenance of facilities.
“Without such funds, we would be unable to provide the most conducive environment for our students to thrive, ” he explained.
On the aid needed, Teo said the school hall needs to be spruced up after almost 20 years in use.
“In sports, our students would do even better if we had a running track, ” he added.
On the face masks and hand sanitisers, Teo said he was grateful to the two leaders for the contribution.
Chieng, who was there with his team, said they would do their best to help out the school.
“We are here today as part of our duty in this community, to get a better understanding of the school’s requirements and challenges, ” he said.
The team later toured the Sacred Heart to get a better look at preparations that were put in place for the re-opening of the school for Form Five and Form Six students.
