SG60 National Day Celebration at TRANS FOCUS AAC

On the morning of 8 August 2025, TRANS FOCUS AAC held a vibrant National Day celebration – a morning of fun, music, and community spirit! The celebration kicked off with a warm welcome and lively performances, including a talk show, dances and musical performances. In commemoration of Singapore’s 60th birthday, the seniors actively joined in learning the choreography to this year’s National Day theme song, Here We Are. Those born in the month of August were also treated to a birthday cake and song.

Then began the games! Snakes and Ladders, Fishing, Beanbag Toss, Bowling, and Spin the Wheel kept participants engaged, while a history quiz sparked joyful reminiscing about the past. Supported by our staff and volunteers, seniors assisted with ushering, food distribution, and crowd management to ensure a smooth flow of activities.

It was a celebration by the seniors for the seniors. It left everyone with a shared sense of joy and togetherness in marking Singapore’s 60th National Day.

On 30 March 2026, TRANS Family Services celebrated Social Work Day to honour the people who make our impact possible. The event featured a panel sharing of overseas learning experiences, alongside activities that encouraged creative and out-of-the-box thinking. It aimed to broaden perspectives grounded in social work values and inspire more innovative approaches to practice. Appreciating and investing in every member of our team — frontline and administrative alike — is not just a once-a-year occasion, but a commitment we carry forward in how we can best serve our community.
In celebration of Chinese New Year, our 37 Happy Healthy Hour (H3) seniors welcomed 47 Kindergarten 2 (K2) students from MOE Kindergarten @ Fengshan Primary School for an intergenerational craft activity. In pairs, the seniors and children worked hand-in-hand to decorate the Chinese character “福” (fortune) using crepe paper and glue. Seniors had the opportunity to guide and interact with the children while engaging their fine motor skills, and the children explored their creativity and practised expressing their ideas with confidence. As they discussed colours and designs, the room quickly filled with laughter and conversation. The session created a heartwarming opportunity for both generations to connect and celebrate the festive season together.
The tween years can be a time of growing independence, new emotions, and changing family dynamics. At TRANS Family Services (Bukit Timah), our recent groupwork programme, “Meaningful Connections: Parents and Tweens”, brought parents and their children aged 9–12 together to strengthen their relationships and navigate this stage with greater understanding. Through 6 sessions, parents learnt ways to better manage their children’s emotions and behaviours and build stronger parent-child connections. Many parents shared valuable takeaways, including the importance of connecting before redirecting. At the same time, children discovered how they could regulate their emotions and communicate their thoughts and feelings more confidently. The groupwork ended with a joint parent-child session, where families engaged in meaningful conversations and activities, including writing heartfelt letters to one another. Following the successful completion of the groupwork, the team is excited to continue supporting families through more programmes aimed at strengthening family relationships.
