Diabetes Singapore partnered with Raffles Girls’ Primary School for a 2-day Sugar Smart Health Carnival, engaging around 1,700 students through interactive games and activities across six recess breaks.
Some of the kids absolutely amazed us — sharing that their favourite drink is plain water and their favourite food is broccoli! Others shared that their parents or grandparents have diabetes. Our volunteers encouraged them to bring home what they learned — to care for their own health and to support their loved ones on their health journey.
Students learned about the importance of managing blood sugar, making healthier food and drink choices, and supporting loved ones with diabetes. The programme also introduced tools such as the Nutri-Grade label to encourage better everyday decisions.
A big shout-out to our long-time partner Gardenia for sponsoring wholemeal bread for the students. And heartfelt thanks to the 60+ volunteers from PhillipCapital, Ascensia, Deloitte, Smith+Nephew, Republic Polytechnic, and the RGPS Parent Support Group for bringing learning to life through 5 stations of interactive games and quizzes!
