The ceremony was graced by Mr Desmond Lee, Advisor to Jurong GRC GROs and Minister of State for National Development together with Mr Peng Xiao  Fei , VP Asia Pacific Products, Chevron InternationL Pte Ltd.

The year long programme, sponsored by Chevron that markets leading energy brand Caltex, provided these children from less-privileged background the opportunity to improve their academic knowledge, social skills, increase self confidence and develop good teamwork as shared by 12-year-old Ng Xin Yi, who has a dream of becoming a professional singer.

To graduate from the programme, everyone have to attend an inaugural two-day residential camp at National Community Leadership Institute (NACLI) campus concluded on 25th May 2014. 12-year old Gabriel Austine Beckham joyfully recalled, " making new friends and participating in various activities have been the best part of the camp."

The Closing Ceremony celebrated the participants' learning journey with their families, relatives and new found friends. Their achievements were highlighted during a 'Dream Race Finale' and a sharing session before a Mass Dance joined by Advisor and Mr Peng.

The Caltex PAssion for Kids programme was first launched in 2012 and is extending its community outreach efforts this year to over 200 underprivileged students, more than double the number of students from last year. It grants needy students, as identified through PA’s grassroots’ network, the opportunities to gain knowledge and develop new skills. Chevron remains committed to this cause and continues supporting the programme in 2013. 

Brought to you by PA Lifeskills and Lifestyle Division, in collaboration with the local community clubs, each student will experience a specially designed super-charged six-month programme that involves one core and elective module of their choice. These courses will promote academic excellence and interpersonal development to inspire them to reach greater goals, and through its continued partnership with PA, Caltex hopes to support Singapore’s on-going focus on education as the key to social mobility and an important social leveller.
