Charity Partnership

PSB Academy partners the Singapore Children’s Society (SCS) as its official charity organisation.

PSB Academy has pledged to contribute 50% of all local application fees from its diploma and certificate programmes to the Singapore Children’s Society. Donation boxes have been set up at PSB’s two campuses to encourage contribution to this worthy cause.

The institution also plans various activities with the Singapore Children’s Society. Some of these include sponsoring children to a Singapore Arts Festival performance, a fund-raising bazaar, a Sports Day-out and Nature’s Day-out for the children.

 

 Student Community Service Programme

With an aim to inculcate a more holistic, quality education, PSB Academy encourages its students, to participate actively in community service.

Students are offered a wide range of activities which PSB Academy organises on a frequent basis, some with the Singapore Children’s Society. PSB Academy believes that through the various enriching experiences gained, coupled with the right guidance from the School, PSB students will better understand empathy and the importance of being socially responsible. They will not only have developed skills, but also be equipped with the heart and compassion to respond more readily to today’s challenging world.

 

Staff Involvement

PSB Academy aims to engage all staff on a deeper level in its CSR efforts. A CSR committee with representatives from key departments is tasked with the effort. The committee members will be responsible for organising fund-raising and volunteering activities, and initiating participation from the various staff members.

Besides contributing to children and youth, PSB Academy’s staff is also educated on awareness of the environment, with a focus on the 3-Rs (Reduce, Re-use, Re-cycle) and Workplace safety policies in place. (For details, please see write-up under ‘Environment Intiatives’)

PSB Academy’s reinforcement of its commitment to CSR is also displayed through a company policy set in place that allows staff to be given one day-off to participate in the various community service works.

 

Supporter in the development of Youth & Sports

PSB Academy was the official supporter of the inaugural Singapore’s 2010 Youth Olympic Games (YOG). The Academy provided training and consulting services in Quality, Environmental Health and Safety (QEHS) to the YOG Organising Committee. Eager and enthusiastic students from PSB Academy also jumped at the various volunteering opportunities available and provided help in the area of Food & Beverages as well as being translators for international visitors to the event.
