Fireflies

Speech and Drama students from DAS Queenstown Learning Centre, Arata Nakajima, Kane Chia and Ashlyn Loo. This creation was inspired by the mesmerising sights of fireflies basking in the moonlight.

Arata:" Fireflies light up our way at night."
Ashlyn: "Fireflies are beautiful as they light up the night."
Kane:" Fireflies are magical!"

Fireflies, 2018 was presented to Ms Indranee Rajah (Minister, Prime Minister's Office, Second Minister for Finance and Second Minister for Education) as a gift from DAS. What started as a simple art project became a major highlight in these little ones’ lives.

Happiness, 2018 by Hannah Wong, Queenstown Learning Centre.

Hannah joined Speech and Drama Arts from 2016 to 2018. She is a multi-talented student who loves acting, playing a tune or two with her guitar and painting.

I was inspired by the fabrics that I saw for an upcoming sewing workshop. The blue stripe and yellow dots are the colours of my school uniform. This painting makes me feel happy and cheerful.”
