Recognising the importance of education for our children, SMC has initiated a project to sponsor devices/ gadgets and data plans for students to continue lessons online.

    Application is open to all families in need subject to SMC's discretion. Closing date for application is 15th March 2021.

    A. Donation of devices. We are appealing for donations of used desktops/laptops/tablets which are still in good / working condition. Please bring your donated gadgets to SMC before 15th March 2021.
