Teacher’s Day flower advice from Lin
Hello, my name is Lin. Many “Teacher’s Day Flower” online florist in Singapore ignore the crucial information that MOE regulates the maximum individual present amount to S$10. As a student or parent representing your child, you have to abide by this guideline. Class donations have different maximum amounts. Private tutors do not follow MOE guidelines. You might put the teacher into an uncomfortable situation if you send more than the regulated amount. Choose the appropriate levels for your individual presents. WhatsApp me if you’re unsure.
When is Singapore Teacher’s Day?
1st September every year
Singapore Teacher’s Day is 1 September every year — a public school holiday. Most schools hold their Teacher’s Day celebrations on 31 August (the last school day before the holiday).
Why 1 September?
Singapore aligned with this date in 1996 to fix the celebration as a non-school day, allowing teachers to genuinely rest. Before 1996, Teacher’s Day was held on the day teachers usually had to work — defeating the purpose.
Schools and institutions that celebrate
- All MOE primary schools
- All MOE secondary schools
- All MOE junior colleges (JCs)
- Polytechnics (NP, NYP, RP, SP, TP)

- Tuition centres and private learning centres (varies by centre)
- Madrasahs and religious schools
- International schools (often follow their own dates)
