NE Ambassadors
The National Education (NE) Programme aims to nurture pride and belonging to the nation. Hence, the National Education Ambassador imparts and models the National Education values as well as takes the lead to share amongst students at different platforms.
Students are selected as the NE ambassadors of North Vista Primary School to attend the NE Young Ambassadors Programme at the Singapore Discovery Centre (SDC) every year since 2016.
This programme conducted by SDC seeks to equip the selected students with the ‘headware’ and ‘heartware’ for the roles they are going to play ahead. The students are trained to have a basic foundation in Public Speaking to help build their confidence in public speaking.
