Red Cross Youth will be forming one marching contingent for the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) 2010 Opening Ceremony as well as the National Day Parade (NDP) 2010.
Singapore Youth Festival
The Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) is organised by the Ministry of Education to celebrate the achievements of our youths in their co-curricular activities (CCAs). This year, SYF 2010 Opening Ceremony would be held at Singapore Indoor Stadium on 3 July 2010, (Saturday).Starting in April and culminating in a month-long celebration in July, the SYF will engage students from schools across Singapore involved in the performing arts, sports and uniformed group CCAs. More than 30,000 students are expected to participate in the performances and activities in the SYF as well as events leading up to the SYF. The SYF reflects MOE's belief in the importance of a well-rounded education.
National Day Parade
Singapore will be celebrating her 45th year of independence and nation building on 9 August 2010, (Monday). It will be a joyous time for Singaporeans from all walks of life, young and old, to come together to celebrate our nation’s birthday. This year, the Parade is organized by the Armour Formation of the Singapore Armed Forces and, as held once every 5 years, it will be moving back to the Padang. One key highlight of this year’s parade is the symbolic city march around the Marina Bay area with its thriving and exciting new developments. This march will energize the participants as it represents a visionary march towards Singapore’s new downtown.
