SINGAPORE – About 15,000 Primary 5 pupils caught a first glimpse of the 2026 National Day festivities on July 11.
A buzz of excitement rose as they streamed into the National Stadium from 4pm for this year’s first National Education show, where the pupils had a sneak peek of the National Day Parade (NDP).

“It feels like we’re united and we’re doing the same thing,” he said.
Amber Zarafyna Abdul Hakim, 11, from Hougang Primary School, looked forward to seeing the contingents march into the 42,000-seater stadium, as she wants to do national service in the future.
