Infinity Programme

Picture
Picture

We share South Central Community FSC’s beliefs in empowering vulnerable communities and investing in the full potential of the next generation to achieve transformative changes for low-income families.
 
While all parents may have high educational aspirations for their children in the hopes that they attain a better quality of life, some may lack the wherewithal to guide or support their children in their school work. In addition, children from our low-income families may not have access to the same developmental opportunities as their peers and are more likely to fall behind in school.
 
We are excited to be part of this collaborative effort to provide primary school children from low-income families with access to a holistic developmental programme that spans academics and sports, as well as a nurturing and supportive environment in their after-school hours.
​
Quantedge Foundation is supporting South Central Community Family Service Centre (SCC) in its education and learning support programmes for children from the 25 rental blocks that it serves.
 
Under its Infinity Model, SCC adopts a holistic approach to provide children from low-income families with wrap-around care, as well as learning and developmental support across time, domains and key stakeholders in the children’s lives.
 
SCC looks after the socio-emotional development needs (confidence, self-motivation and resilience) of children from low-income families, actively partners parents, teachers, volunteers and other stakeholders to support the children in their learning and developmental journey, and provides warm, home-cooked meals from community members when the children come to its premises to learn.
 
About 50 upper primary students under SCC’s care will also be supported through the KidsExcel programme – a values-driven, academic and sports enrichment programme that develops healthy minds, healthy bodies and strong character, using sports and academic enrichment to nurture the physical, intellectual and social skills of children. The programme aims to give these students a timely boost in knowledge, skills and confidence nearing their PSLE milestone year, which would, in turn, open up more options and pathways for their secondary and tertiary journey.
Outcomes:
Most of the Infinity Programme's children were already struggling with their academics and facing multiple stressors at home. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced additional challenges and barriers to their learning. Many lacked a conducive learning environment, as well as the necessary IT/data infrastructure, parental resources and guidance for effective home-based learning. Nonetheless, with the support from SCC and KidsExcel, they demonstrated notable improvements in both their academic and behavioural outcomes.
