This year SA��ʴ�ý took part in The Purple Parade, Singapore’s largest movement in support of the special needs community. The movement aims to move our society towards a more inclusive community by opening our eyes to people with special needs in our community.

This year marks the 5th Purple Parade. Held at Suntec City on 28 Oct, a total of 60 SA��ʴ�ý Students and staff from Angel Heart Club and Student Council joined in the Parade. They all showed up in the Purple Parade T-shirt and further accessorised with purple bandanas and purple balloons. Besides SA��ʴ�ý, 163 other organisations from the Special Needs Community, Corporate & Community Partners, Institutes of Higher Learning, Schools and Government Agencies, came to support as well.

It was heart-warming to see everyone come together and show their love and support in building an inclusive society. SA��ʴ�ý Students were particular touched during the performance from kids with special needs. All of them pledged to show their support for the parade again in 2018!
