Crystal Lyra Dong, a Grade 1 student at SPH Pluit Village, has been awarded a Distinction in the Grade 1 Creative Art Category by the Creative Art Examination Board (CAEB) in 2025. This prestigious certification, awarded by Warnborough College UK, recognizes young learners who demonstrate exceptional skill, artistic freedom, and individual expression. Even at a young age, Crystal has shown a remarkable ability to translate her personal experiences and interests into vivid artistic works, meeting the high standards of an institution known for its pioneering and innovative approach to global education. 

The CAEB framework is designed to foster a learner-centered environment where technical direction meets imaginative exploration. Earning a Distinction—the highest level of achievement—highlights Crystal’s mastery of foundational art techniques and her unique creative voice. We celebrate this achievement as a testament to the vibrant arts culture at SPH Pluit Village, where our youngest students are encouraged to explore the world through their own creative lens and aspire toward international standards of excellence.
