Temasek Secondary School held its "No Backpack Day" on Friday, July 1.
On this day, which was observed by another school in Singapore in April, students are allowed to bring any kind of receptacle to be used as a substitute for a backpack.
"No Backpack Day" is a day set aside where children do not bring their backpacks to school to raise awareness for the millions of children around the world who go to school carrying their supplies and books in their hands or in other receptacles because they cannot afford backpacks.
Temasek Secondary Students did not disappoint with their substitute bags.
According to the Facebook post, the “Anything But A Bag Day” was a "huge success" as it was turned into a competition in creativity.
