Singtel Sustainability Report 2010/2011

Singtel receives Northlight School's
Partners Award

We also received Northlight School's Partners Award for our support of its programmes. The school was established by the Ministry of Education to provide further education for primary school leavers who often come from challenging home environments and are not academically eligible for mainstream secondary schools. For the past two years, Singtel staff volunteers have gone to its Student Centre on Friday afternoons to facilitate healthy interaction among the students when they use the facilities.
