She works tirelessly to ensure that children with added needs have a place in LOT, through the E

Hi, could you introduce yourself? I'm Bethanie, Principal of LOT Ghim Moh.

Agnes, Principal , Yishun Like a book, my mind is always buzzing with words. That's because I love to ask questions about anything and everything. I do not take things at face value and I will question something to no end - until I finally understand and make sense of it.

A tray usually starts out empty, and is meant to be filled up with all kinds of delightful things. But that's not all it is. A tray is a vessel, a tray brings joy to all that it serves. Uhma, Vice- Principal ,Yishun That is a great metaphor for my leadership style - I am always willing to start with a blank slate and take on whatever that is given to me.

Without love, everything will be about myself, and how I can be happy and content. In this industry, we often have to put others first and make sacrifices - this can only be done if you have love for those around you. Love is the reason why I want the children to smile, grow and learn well; love is the reason why I care f

Eileen Lua, Principal, Pasir Ris 51 Previously, I felt like I was a singular pen with just one colour, but I now feel like I have upgraded to a multicoloured pen! This is because I am part of a team that brings different colours and talents to the table. Each pen also has a spring, so we are able to launch forward to write our story together as we collaborate, instead of focusing only on our own narratives. I have learnt to meet the staff, parents and children where they are
