5 Best Public Speaking Courses for Kids in Singapore: 2025 Guide

For some, public speaking may come naturally, but speaking in a public setting can be a nightmare for many. It’s best to develop this skill in kids early on. We’ve rounded the five best public speaking courses for kids in Singapore [2025 review].

Public speaking refers to communicating information to the public. It can take many forms, from presenting in a class of peers to speaking to a crowd of thousands. 

Contrary to popular opinion, public speaking isn’t just about fluency in a language– it’s about delivering your message precisely and with the right emotions. These general speaking classes in Singapore teach children the techniques to speak eloquently and confidently to people. 

What is the best age to learn public speaking?

Children as young as five can participate in public speaking courses and develop strong communication skills. However, older children and teenagers may particularly benefit from learning public speaking techniques as they can apply them in real life, whether presenting in class or debating peers. 

What are the benefits of public speaking for children?

Engaging in public speaking from a young age can provide children with developmental benefits. For starters, it can boost their confidence and help them overcome shyness. 

More importantly, public speaking can improve their general communication skills, teaching them to organise and communicate their ideas quickly and coherently. They can also participate in school activities like debates, drama, and other activities that focus on communication. 

A course in public speaking can also help with Direct School Admission (DSA). It will also look great on your child’s application when they apply for university admissions after high school.

9 Reasons Young Japanese Families Choose Singapore as Their New Home

Singapore has long been a popular destination for Japanese expatriates, even well before the country’s independence in 1964. In recent years, however, the demographics of long-term visitors to and residents of the city-state have begun to change. Previously, Japanese expatriates were mostly either solitary men temporarily relocating to the country for business (a practice called tanshin funin) or families composed of older couples where the husband was the primary breadwinner. Today, Japanese families moving to Singapore are trending younger and are far more likely to have two full-time earners.

While Singapore is not the only popular destination for migrating Japanese families, the Lion City has several distinct qualities that make it particularly attractive to younger Japanese. Let’s explore nine reasons why younger Japanese families are making the tough—but also easy—decision to move to Singapore:

1) A Large Japanese Community

A Japanese community has existed in Singapore since at least the British colonial era, maintaining a consistent presence in the Straits to the present day. As a result, the country has, over the years, developed significant local support infrastructure for Japanese visitors and expatriates, composed of both formal organisations and informal linkages. The presence of such a well-established and highly organised community of compatriots makes moving to Singapore significantly more attractive to Japanese families than to alternative destinations.

2) Accredited International Schools

Younger expatriate couples may struggle to find suitable educational options for their children overseas, and this is especially true for Japanese families. This isn’t an issue in Singapore, as the country is teeming with international schools serving foreign students of all ages and nationalities.

There are a range of accredited educational options for younger Japanese children in Singapore, one of which is Kinderland, an international preschool known for its Japanese-English Bilingual Programme. For an idea of the type of education children experience in these international schools, check out Kinderland’s activities on YouTube.

3) Language Advantages 

As mentioned earlier, the Kinderland network of schools offers bilingual Japanese-English education in Singapore. However, Japanese children and their parents both have a wealth of other language learning options in Singapore, including in other major international languages like Mandarin, English, and French. Thanks to Singapore’s highly internationalised character, it’s one of the best destinations for entire families to work or study while immersing themselves in useful foreign languages.

4) High Quality of Life

Unlike many other popular destinations, Japanese families can expect a quality of life in Singapore that is directly comparable—and maybe even better—to what they could expect back home. Like Japan, Singapore is renowned the world over for its high levels of public safety, efficient public transportation, and wealth of top-tier attractions and diversions. Collectively, these qualities make Singapore a much friendlier place for Japanese families with young children.

5) Great Job Opportunities

Japan is still feeling the after-effects of its economic bubble bursting in the early 1990s. Though there are certainly plenty of high-quality jobs in Japan, the economy and its accompanying opportunities have mostly stagnated over the past few decades. Singapore, on the other hand, has a thriving economy that is expected to keep growing through the current decade and beyond.

Notably, Singapore currently offers median salaries almost twice that of Japan in many areas, albeit with correspondingly high living costs. Nonetheless, the maths of moving to Singapore works favourably for many Japanese families, particularly those with two breadwinners.

6) Warm Climate

Though the hot and humid Singaporean climate is a chief complaint of many expatriates and natives alike, it’s sometimes considered to be a perk by Japanese who come from their country’s colder northern prefectures. Unlike many homegrown Singaporeans, Japanese families that are tired of dealing with the sometimes unforgiving Japanese winters often find themselves appreciating the city state’s year-round balmy tropical climes.

7) Easy Access to Japan

As highly advanced Asian economies, Japan and Singapore have developed highly beneficial ties over the past century. As a result, multiple airlines now connect Singapore to several major Japanese cities and vice-versa, with multiple flights each day. The high frequency of flights and direct connections to multiple parts of Japan make Singapore especially attractive to families that need to regularly visit their home country.

8) Tax Benefits

Japan’s personal and corporate tax rates are among the highest in Asia, serving to reduce the spending power of families that are concerned with accumulating funds for their children’s future. High-earning Japanese families may find Singapore’s favourable taxes highly attractive, particularly if they own a business.

9) Multicultural Environment

Lastly, a growing number of younger Japanese families want their children to experience multicultural environments, viewing early exposure as crucial for future competitiveness in global job markets. While Japan itself is growing more diverse, Singapore leaves it behind in this respect, thanks to its extremely large international community and its shared values of tolerance and multiculturalism.

Singapore’s combination of favourable economic factors and family-friendly environment makes it a uniquely appealing destination for Japanese families with younger children. More than ever, the city-state is shedding its reputation as just another place for tanshin funin. In the eyes of a new generation of Japanese, it’s fast transforming into a great place to raise a family.

The best way to beat breast cancer: Early screening, prompt in treating

It is estimated that 1 in 13 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast cancer can occur in women of all ages, although the majority are diagnosed in women above 50 years old. The good news is early detection and treatment can reduce the risk of death from breast cancer. At an early stage, breast cancer can be easier to treat. Regular screening in women 40 years of age and older can lower the breast cancer death rate by up to 50%.

“…early detection and treatment can reduce the risk of death from breast cancer.”

Early detection through regular screening

The Singapore Cancer Society recommends women perform monthly breast self-examinations. They can feel lumps and also have to be aware of unusual signs in the breast. A healthcare professional can also conduct clinical breast examinations.

Consult your doctor, especially if you suspect unusual signs.

Signs to watch out for in/by your breast area

Lump or thickening (also check underarm section)

Size/shape change

Dimple or puckering in skin

Inward nipple

Fluid discharge (not milk)

Scaly, red, or swollen skin

Orange-like dimples in skin

A mammogram, the breast x-ray, is the standard screening tool for early detection. The mammogram can show signs of a mass before a cancerous growth is of palpable size and before symptoms become apparent.

Older age groups of women are also recommended by the Singapore Cancer Society to undergo mammograms.

• Women aged 40 to 49 undergo a yearly mammogram
• Women above 50 undergo mammogram once every 2 years

Besides detection of abnormalities like a tumour, a mammogram can also indicate the breast density, that is the amount of fibrous and glandular tissues compared with the amount of fatty tissue.  A highly dense or dense breast is associated with a higher risk.

Are you at high risk of breast cancer or does your mammogram show abnormal finding/s?

Other tests may be recommended such as breast ultrasound which uses sound waves to form an image of breast tissues that show if a mass is solid or has fluid. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnets, radio waves and the computer to get pictorial details of the breasts. Women with suspected growth will undergo a biopsy to check for cancer cells from collected tissues under a microscope.

Treatment options to fight breast cancer

The treatment plan for patients with breast cancer is based on several factors, which include the stage of cancer, tumour characteristics, the individual’s overall health as well as individual considerations.

Here are some common treatments for breast cancer:

Surgery: The surgical operation is performed based on the size of the tumour and where it is situated. Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) removes the cancer and some surrounding normal tissues but keeps the breast while mastectomy removes the entire breast. Radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy may also be given.

Radiation Therapy: High-energy X-rays are used to destroy cancer cells or suppress cancer cell growth.

Chemotherapy: Drugs are administered to kill cancer cells or prevent their growth.

Hormone Therapy: For tumours that are responsive to hormones, medications are used to block or interfere with hormones that fuel the growth of certain breast cancer cells.

Targeted Therapy: Drugs are designed to specifically target certain proteins in cancer cells. There are different types such as monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, PARP inhibitors,  that kill the cancer cells, prevent their growth, or keep them from spreading.

Immunotherapy:  The body’s immune system that naturally fights diseases is used to kill cancer cells. Immunotherapy helps enhance the body’s response against cancer cells.

In consideration of individual profiles, personalized discussions with your doctor can help determine the treatment options.

Breast cancer impacts the lives of many women. Regular screening is critical to ‘catch’ breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective.

If you have breast cancer, do not lose hope.

The availability of a plethora of options means doctors can personalise treatments to improve outcomes and preserve the quality of life for many patients with breast cancer.

Walk With Me

Walk With Me is a charity walk and fundraiser organised by HCA Hospice to normalise and raise awareness of palliative care, through the celebration of life and lives well-lived. The event also seeks to raise much-needed funds to sustain HCA’s programmes, which extend care and support to the terminally ill who choose to spend their last days at home, as well as their families, who are heavily involved in their care.

We often refer to the care and support of the terminally ill as a journey that the care team takes alongside the patient and their family, pacing with them and supporting them as they move towards the finishing line. With Walk With Me, we hope to invite all of you on a journey to support our beneficiaries, and uncover the many stories of lives well-lived, that our patients have taught us along the way.

Walk with us to show your support for terminally ill patients and their caregivers. The walk is a simple one suited for people of different physical abilities, including children, seniors and those on wheelchairs.

For this walk, HCA aims to raise at least $400,000 to provide professional and compassionate palliative care to an additional 200 families, on top of the 3,800 families we are currently supporting annually.

The event runs virtually from 18 September 2023 to 31 December 2023, and participants may choose their preferred distance and amount that they wish to fundraise. On 19 November 2023 (Sunday), particpantswho sign up as physical walkers will get to walk alongside our beneficiaries through the scenic route from Marina Barrage to East Coast park.

Y2K Dreamz

Y2K. Referring to the year 2000, the phrase Y2K was commonly used to refer to a widespread computer programming shortcut that was expected to cause extensive havoc at the turn of the new millennium, reflecting societal anxieties that came with this milestone.

This programme explores films from around and about the year 2000, and seeks to examine the anxieties, hopes and fears prevalent within Asian cinema during the turn of the new millennium.

Y2K DreamZ runs from 1 to 30 September 2023 at Oldham Theatre. The programme consists of four new restorations for the films All About Lily Chou-Chou, Fire, Spacked Out and Peppermint Candy.
