I CAN Award 2026

The 2026 I CAN Award Ceremony was held at Marsiling Secondary School on Wednesday, March 18, where we came together to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our School Goodie Bag recipients. Established in 2013, the I CAN Award is presented annually to primary and secondary students who have demonstrated commendable character and shown significant Improvements in Conduct and behaviour, school Attendance, and Non-academic pursuits.

Over 100 students were nominated by their teachers to receive the award this year.

 

We are immensely proud of this year’s award recipients and extend our heartfelt congratulations on their outstanding accomplishments. We hope that this recognition will continue to inspire and empower them to embody the “I CAN spirit” in their daily lives, striving for growth and excellence in all that they do!

Since its commencement in 2004, the School Goodie Bag programme has been dedicated to supporting students from underprivileged backgrounds by providing monthly food provisions. In 2024, this programme reached 84 schools, distributing over 17,000 school goodie bags. Each School Goodie Bag is thoughtfully curated with 21 nutritious food items to ensure that each student receives well-balanced and wholesome food. 

 

We are also once again grateful to Project Arts for Hearts, a student-led initiative for generously contributing four unforgettable performances to the evening.

 

Before the award ceremony, Kaylen Thawdar and Jingqi Z sang their hearts out to 'Million Reasons' and 'Heal the World.'
