Seventeen Primary 3 to 5 pupils from the school, who are beneficiaries of The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund (STSPMF), were among the first to enjoy the mall's annual balloon exhibition as they kicked off their March school holidays. The balloon festival, now in its 15th iteration, aims to make history in 2025 with an attempt to enter the Asia Book of Records for the "largest flower fiesta". In line with SG60, Singapore Land Group, which owns Marina Square, will also donate $60,000 to STSPMF, to support children from low-income families with financial assistance to defray educational expenses. Floral Wonderland is open to the public from March 15 to 23, 11am to 9.30pm, at Marina Square's central atrium.
