SINGAPORE, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- North London Collegiate School (Singapore) marked International Women's Day 2026 with a series of meaningful events under the banner 'HerStory', bringing together students, parents, media, community leaders, and Singapore-based advocates designed to highlight women's voices, stories, and leadership in a shared commitment to empowerment, equality, and purposeful giving.
The week-long programme celebrated women and inspired young people, creating a space where the next generation sits alongside those already driving change, and where shared purpose translates into collective action.
Rooted in a 175-Year Legacy of Female Empowerment
The values driving HerStory Week are inseparable from the founding story of NLCS itself. Frances Mary Buss established North London Collegiate School in 1850, pioneering girls' academic education at a time when rigorous learning for women was far from guaranteed. She believed that every girl deserves equal opportunity to access education that builds confidence, knowledge, and the power to shape her own future and she gave her life's work to making that belief a reality, shaping generations of leaders, innovators, and change-makers in the process.
The HerStory Dinner
The centrepiece of the week was the HerStory Dinner, a thought-leadership event built around the theme: "What Will You Give to Gain through Knowledge, Time, and Advocacy." It was an evening designed not just to commemorate, but to ask everyone in the room how they might contribute meaningfully through knowledge-sharing, service, and advocacy.
Presentations across the evening explored what it truly means to give, shining light on the initiatives, causes, and communities that NLCS (Singapore) has rallied around.
Student Leadership and Advocacy in Action
HerStory Week placed student voices and student action at its heart. Across the school, young people stepped forward to reflect on what equality means to them through their societies, their service, and their leadership, showing that the next generation is not waiting to inherit a more equal world, they are already building it.
Student ambassadors from across year groups spoke to the importance of equity, inclusion, wellbeing, and belonging, sharing their commitment to upstanding values, advocacy, and creating a community where every individual feels valued and supported.
MercuriX, the school's national champion STEM Racing team preparing for the World Finals, used the week to champion inclusive leadership in STEM, pledging to mentor younger female students and making the case that the most diverse teams build the best solutions.
The Student Athlete Coaching Programme connects Junior and Senior School students through sport, with female senior students modelling leadership and inspiring younger peers to see themselves as capable leaders.
The Amnesty International Society continued its steady work writing letters and petitions in support of human rights cases worldwide, rounded in the belief that no act of advocacy is too small to matter.
The GreenWave Society channeled its energy into sustainability on and off campus, fundraising grassroots charities and proving that student-led action reaches far beyond the classroom.
The school's Pacha Club, the first chapter of the global Pachamama Project to launch in Asia, has been creating reusable period pads for refugees and people experiencing period poverty, keeping girls in school and restoring dignity where it matters most.
Community Partners: Giving Where It Matters Most
HerStory Week also made room for the voices beyond the school walls, including women and organisations from across Singapore's women's empowerment, migrant worker welfare, and gender advocacy communities who joined the gathering not as guests, but as proof that giving through knowledge, time, and advocacy is already remaking the world.

NLCS (Singapore) celebrates International Women's Day with 'HerStory' Exhibition
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreame Home Environmental Appliances today launched three new products at the DREAME NEXT showcase in San Francisco. The lineup includes the FP10 Air Purifier, built around the world's first roller self-cleaning system for pet households. The MF10 Bladeless Fan, which has already claimed the #1 New Release spot on Amazon, and the Dreame Halo, a three-in-one fan, heater, and purifier, making its global debut.
The FP10 Air Purifier is built around the world's first active roller self-cleaning system, a technology certified by global consultancy Frost & Sullivan. Engineered for pet-owning households, the FP10 achieves a 99.5 percent hair collection rate[1], actively stripping pet hair from the filter and storing it in a sealed compartment — virtually eliminating the need for manual filter cleaning,and delivering long-lasting purification with a 99.99% virus removal rate.
The MF10 Bladeless Fan introduces three core innovations developed in-house: a bionic twin-wing airflow structure that delivers 270° three-dimensional circulation, an AI dynamic system that adjusts wind intensity based on ambient temperature, and a 16x airflow amplification cycle. Its dual-ring industrial design sets it apart from conventional bladeless fan designs. Since launching in North America, the MF10 has claimed #1 New Release spot in Amazon's bladeless fan category.
The Dreame Halo Bladeless Air Purifying Fan, debuting globally at DREAME NEXT, combines fan, heating, and air purification in a single unit. It features 120° wide-area airflow, a 2000W PTC heater for winter warmth, a 3-in-1 HEPA filter for year-round purification, and robotic arms for rapid directional airflow control. The three-in-one design is positioned to serve year-round home comfort needs from a single device, establishing Dreame's presence in the whole-home comfort category.
More than a product launch event, "DREAME NEXT" serves as Dreame Technology's comprehensive statement on the future of technology over the next decade. "Next" represents the spirit of going beyond the present and leading what comes ahead—signifying Dreame's evolution from category leadership in individual product segments to a fully connected smart ecosystem spanning every aspect of daily life. It reflects the company's long-term global vision and its ambition to shape the future of intelligent living through innovation.
Dreame's air and environmental business was launched in March 2025 and crossed US$ 14.5 million in revenue within ten months. The division closed 2025 with US$ 17.43 million in global revenue. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue grew 1,174 percent year-on-year, with another US$14.6 million milestone reached in 38 days. The category now spans six product lines and 180 SKUs, built in just over a year.
Underpinning this growth is Dreame's R&D infrastructure. Within its air and environmental division, the company invests more than 50 percent of divisional revenue into research and development, with research personnel making up over 70 percent of the team, well above the industry average of under 4 percent R&D spending. Dreame holds nearly 300 patents in the air and environmental space, with three foundational technologies, the active hair-collection self-cleaning system, the intelligent dual-airflow channel, and AI dynamic perception tracking, all developed in-house as global firsts.
