ABOUT A VERY SPECIAL WALK

A Very Special Walk was started in 2005 to support projects that integrate students with autism into mainstream society.

This year, come together for some movies & fun at Pathlight School. Choose from indoor and outdoor screenings operated by students of various abilities. Treat yourself to snacks produced and sold by students. Shop at our Mall decked with merchandise designed by students. All these and more, empowered by the result of past Special Walks!

Proceeds collected from this event will go to Pathlight's sister school - Eden School Building Fund.

Into Our 5th Year!

AVSW was first initiated by the Gryphons Alumni (ex- Raffles Institution Scouts) in 2005, raising funds for projects meant to further enhance the employability of the autism community, and hence increase their chances of integrating into mainstream society.

In AVSW 2006, the integration took a different form of having 3 schools, who tread very different paths yet came together to make the event a success. The tag line "Many paths, One goal" truly reflected the unique partnership between Chong Boon Secondary School, Raffles Institution Scouts Group and Pathlight School.

In AVSW 2007, the tripartite partnership continued as we moved on, Breaking Barriers together.

Through AVSW 2008 we celebrated successful partnerships. Integration would not have happened, if not for the on-going partnerships which embrace the differences, the talents and the uniqueness of each and everyone of us... with or without autism.
