Word of welcome

2017 marks the 13th year since our annual National Schools Literature Festival

(NSLF) started in 2005. NSLF serves as a platform for students of Literature to

interact and to share ideas through debates, have friendly competitions while

putting up a performance, all with the aim of motivating students to enjoy and

celebrate Literature. NSLF also enables teachers from different schools to come

together with a shared mission and purpose and to form networks with one

another. We are encouraged to see growth in the attendance at the festival

each year. This year, we have a record turn-out of 106 secondary schools. This

testifies to the importance of Literature in our education system and in society.

Literature enables us to think critically, empathetically, and philosophically at the

same time. It allows us to step into other worlds, see from other points of view,

and reflect on the values and cultural beliefs of others. That is why teachers from

the NSLF organising committee have continually worked very hard to bring this

festival to you yearly.

This year, we are very privileged to have Dr. Dennis Yeo and Ms. Kausikan as our

keynote speakers. They will share important ideas about why literature is

important in developing critical readers of texts. As you attend the respective

talks and events, we hope you will be enthused and inspired to celebrate

Literature!

Do have an enjoyable and enriching literary experience today!

Yours sincerely,

Sharon Quek (Chairperson),

Suzanne Choo (Advisor)

On behalf of NSLF 2017 organising committee

About the NSLF

The goals of the NSLF are:

To bring Literature teachers together with a shared mission and purpose.

To provide a platform which teachers can use to enthuse and inspire their

students in studying Literature.

To motivate more students to take Literature at the upper secondary level.

The NSLF is a ground-up event that was started in 2005. It is collaboratively organised by

teachers from various schools with support from organisations including the Ministry of

Education, National Institute of Education, and National Library Board.
