When my son Max joined the centre, his teachers at Life Student Care gave him extra attention for his academic work. They even met up with his school teacher to exchange information to help him further, and arranged for him to join the free tuition service by St Peters Church volunteers for low-income families.

We also required financial assistance and Life Student Care went the extra mile to help us apply for a bursary and connected u with Family Service Centre for more support. Life Community also provided benevolent funding and extended their fee payment date.

We became close to the teachers at Life Student Care. When I had a surgical operation, one of the teachers visited me with a gift of chicken essence. My husband was touched by their care for our son, and us, and gave back by helping to paint their centre. Thank you to the teachers at Life Student Care.

​”I would like to thank Mary for what he has done for my son, Gerald. Before joining Life Student Care, I would get reports from teachers that he was always running around and was angry. None of us knew the reason why.

I am grateful to Mary who tried different methods to get through to engage/understand him, which she finally did.

I did not know that my son was stressed about having too many weekend tuition classes, particularly his Chinese tuition class. Mary managed to speak to him about this, and he mentioned that he was not allowed to ask any questions in his Chinese Tuition class, which made him feel judged, helpless and uncared for.

After we resolved this issue, he became much calmer and happier. He graduated from Life Student Care after his PSLE, which he excelled with good grades.

Today, he even gives back by volunteering at Life Student Care as a boys’ basketball coach during the holidays. I am proud of him.

Thank you to Mary and Life Student Care for your efforts and care towards my son.”
