Grad Pack_E-newsletter First Issue January 2021

The Explorerfor grea-dnueawtsinlegttsetrudents 1sJtanIs2s0u2e1 Dear Graduating Students, A warm welcome to 2021! The year 2020 was an unprecedented year for all of us.  But it was also a year of growth and opportunities. We discovered new ways of learning and working; tested our resilience and adaptability, and emerged stronger than we thought we ever could.  As we leave 2020 behind and step into a brand new year, what are your hopes and dreams? Perhaps you have already set goals for yourself. Some of you may be on track to reach your goals, while some of you may run into roadblocks or difficulties along the way. But soldier on, persevere and never give up!    The Explorer e-newsletter is designed specially with you in mind. Whether you are sitting for the 'N', 'O' or 'A' levels/IB this year, we hope that you will find this e-newsletter a useful resource.  Arm yourself with knowledge of the education and career landscape so that you can make informed decisions for your future. Be inspired by the stories of youths who have demonstrated hope and resilience, so that you too can write your personal success story.  Know also you are not alone in your journey. Find support in your peers, family, teachers, school counsellors and education and career guidance (ECG) counsellors. Be empowered to chart your journey ahead. Wishing you a fulfilling 2021 and the very best in your ECG journey!    Guidance Branch 2021 Student Development Curriculum Division Ministry of Education, Singapore All rights reserved
