🌏✈️ FROM CLASSROOMS TO CULTURES — APSP OVERSEAS IMMERSION 2026 🇻🇳🇧🇳

Learning goes beyond the four walls of the classroom as our 4 classes embark on an unforgettable journey to Vietnam and Brunei! 🇻🇳🇧🇳

From exploring the floating villages of Kampong Ayer and experiencing the vibrant Gadong Night Market in Brunei, to discovering the rich history and innovation of Hanoi through visits to the Military History Museum, Ho Chi Minh Museum, Hanoi MRT, TEKY STEM center and Hanoi University of Science — every step is a lesson, every moment an adventure. 🌟

Students had :
✨ Immerse in new cultures and traditions
✨ Experience STEM and sustainability in action
✨ Build friendships across borders
✨ Learn resilience, independence and adaptability
✨ Create memories that will last a lifetime

Whether it is watching the magical Water Puppet Show, cruising through the waterways of the fabled Venice of Southeast Asia in Brunei, exploring the bustling Old Quarter Market, or interacting with students from Maktab Sains and Cau Giay Secondary School, this journey is about discovering the world — and discovering ourselves. 🌍💡

Here’s to new experiences, daring adventures, meaningful friendships and stories worth telling. 💙

🧦⚡ SOCK SWITCH UP DAY IS COMING ⚡🧦

This Friday, 29 May 2026, Dunman Secondary School is ending Term 2 with a splash of colour, creativity, and connection 💥✨

For one day only, students and teachers will be switching out their usual white school socks for fun, unique socks as part of our Sock Switch Up Day 👀🔥

But this isn’t just about funky socks.
It’s about noticing the people around us.
It’s about checking in on friends.
It’s about reminding one another that no one has to face challenges alone 💚
Sometimes, the struggles people carry are invisible — and a simple conversation, smile, or act of care can make all the difference. Through this shared experience, we hope to build a stronger, kinder, and more connected Dunman community 🫶

🧦 WHAT TO WEAR
✅ Comfortable and practical socks for a normal school day (including PE!)
✅ Mainly solid colours or simple patterns/designs

🚫 NOT ALLOWED
❌ Offensive or inappropriate words, slogans, graphics, or symbols
❌ Political, social, or gender-related messaging
❌ Excessively elaborate or attention-seeking designs
❌ Stockings or knee-high socks

💡 Let’s keep Sock Switch Up Day fun and meaningful for everyone! Students whose socks do not meet the stated guidelines may be asked to change into a replacement pair provided by the school.

So get ready to step into school in style, spark conversations, and end the term on a bright note 🌈✨

Let’s switch up more than just our socks this Friday 💥

Dunman Annual School Run 2026: Racing into a New Chapter 🏃‍♂️✨

This year marked a special milestone as we took our annual run to a brand new venue—the vibrant Kallang precinct. With the iconic National Stadium and scenic Kallang Basin as our backdrop, our Dunmanites experienced a fresh energy in the heart of Singapore’s sporting hub.

🌆 A New Route, A New Experience
More than just a change of scenery, the shift to Kallang gave students the opportunity to run in an environment that celebrates excellence and perseverance.

⏱️ 2.4km Challenge
With official timing in place, students pushed their limits, set personal benchmarks, and gave their best on the flat, fast route.

From the first stride to the final sprint, every step reflected determination, discipline, and school spirit 💪

As we close this chapter, this year’s run has truly set the bar for what’s to come.

👏 Well done, Dunmanites —let’s keep the momentum going!

“The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.”
