Calling all aspiring student photographers!
St Andrews Secondary School is organising a youth photography competition themed - 'Heart of the School', in collaboration with the National Geographic Store@Vivocity. Students are encouraged to explore the theme, examples include : an expression of school pride or a peek at the often unseen daily operation of the school.

The brave girls behind The Chain Reaction Project share their amazing adventure through the rugged plains of Dili in a bid to raise funds for the malnourished children of Timor-leste. Yolo is truly inspired by TCRP's passion to create positive change. Read the full story now to find out how every step of goodwill goes a long way.
Heading back to school for the first time in years (no need for calculators, we are forever 21), YOLO was invited to ACS (Independent) for the 2010 EDB Short Film Competition award ceremony.
As design and prize sponsor, we were curious to see how the short films would turn out.
The afternoon began as anticipated. We expected to clap and cheer for the finalists, and we did. We expected to watch the students squirm during the grueling Q&A session by the judges, and we did.
But what came as an unexpected surprise after so many years away from school was that we learnt something very important that day. I know. Learning something new in school? Who'd have thunk it?! It's funny when you are younger the way you look at education. Even when you go on to university or get further online education, you still look back at school in a certain way. So learning something that day was quite interesting.
UPDATE: We have just received the good news from Assisi Hospice that The Empty Box Christmas Charity raised a grand total of $9,700 after the final tally!
