Congratulations, Class of 2024 - Happy Graduation!

After four years of commitment and perseverance in both academic and co-curricular pursuits, the Class of 2024 has reached a significant milestone: graduation from SST!

At our Graduation Ceremony on 27 September, students, parents and teachers celebrated the growth and accomplishments of our S4 students over the years. The event captured so many priceless moments: students’ reflections and aspirations, their parents’ pride in the young gentlemen and ladies they have become, a nostalgic look back at the memorable montages of their 4 years journey at SST and the words of encouragement from the alumni of the Class of 2023. And of course, it was a celebration of the friendships that were forged throughout these 4 years.

To make the event more special, we kicked off our 15th Anniversary celebrations with the unveiling of the 15th Anniversary logo. The Graduation Ceremony is the 1st of 15 events marking our anniversary celebrations in the coming months.

As our Class of 2024 moves on to their post-secondary pathways, we encourage everyone to be guiding lights for their SST juniors by returning to give back to their alma mater. Good luck with the upcoming O-Level Exams and the completion of the IDP Capstone Projects; Our is cheering for all our graduating students every step of the way!

SST x Penabur Secondary Tanjung Duren IDP International Exchange Programme

SST IDP recently hosted Penabur Secondary Tanjung Duren (PSTD) as part of our International Exchange Programme, and what an unforgettable experience it was!

Over the course of three days, we enjoyed a rich collaboration and cultural exchanges. From the warm welcome during the morning assembly to our engaging multi-cultural programme, the Python programming workshop and immersive classroom experiences, curiosity blossomed as new friendships were forged, and valuable experiences were gained.

Our collaborative lessons on environmental chemistry and electronics highlighted our students’ commitment to global issues, while the visit to Seatrium opened our eyes to cutting-edge projects in Maritime and Engineering Solutions. The dinner event and gift exchange encapsulated the spirit of unity and mutual respect, creating bonds between students and staff from both schools.

We would like to extend our gratitude to all participants for your enthusiasm and contributions, which made this exchange not only memorable, but truly an impactful experience. We hope the PSTD students left with cherished memories and new knowledge. Here’s to meeting again when we visit PSTD from 19th - 21st August 2024! 🎉

🎉 ‘Together, as One United People’ 59th ND Celebrations @ SST!

On August 8th, our students and staff proudly donned red and white attire to celebrate our nation's birthday. The morning assembly featured a special march-in of the National Flag by our Scouts, along with a presentation on our national symbols, a recollections recitation, and the National Day message. Our Scouts stood tall, leading the event with great pride.

The competitive spirit among our students truly ignited during the filming of a creative commemorative video titled “Singapore in 59 Seconds.” As expected, the celebrations included engaging quizzes about Singapore’s history and symbols, alongside a lively sing-along session where staff and students waved their Singapore flags while singing National Day songs! Our S4 students delighted the audience with an impromptu rendition of the NDP 2016 song “Tomorrow’s Here Today,” bringing everyone together in joyful celebration.

Happy 59th birthday, Singapore!

Meanwhile, the ICT department facilitated a hands-on video editing workshop, and the Sports and Wellness department provided an opportunity for them to analyse Performance Tasks using Artificial Intelligence.

Last Friday, our annual Student Congress took place, providing an opportunity for our students to hone their skills in voicing persuasive arguments and articulating their thoughts with conviction and confidence. Over the course of several weeks, SST students from all levels had diligently refined their presentations, debate speeches, and panel discussion slides, culminating in a confident display of their talents before their peers and teachers.

The diverse range of topics explored during the Congress included Artificial Intelligence, Ageing and Longevity, Gender Inequality, the Future of Work, Food Security, Peer Relationships, Student Voice, and many others.

Thank you for attending our Open House 2024!

On 25 May, we welcomed prospective students and their families to our dynamic Open House!

Last Saturday morning, our visitors learned about our curriculum from our students and teachers at the subject booths and Science hands-on sessions. They were impressed by the exciting CCA booths and the talents showcased by the Guitar Ensemble, SST Show Choir and SST Dance crew. Our 45-minute guided tours, and panel sharing on Academic Life @ SST and Student Life @ SST were very popular.

The DSA booth was especially crowded after our principal’s talk, as many parents inquired about the DSA application process. The Alumni booth also drew crowds, with parents eager to learn how SST experiences prepared students for post-secondary education. Additionally, visitors interested in the SST curriculum from a parent’s perspective headed to the PforSST Human Library booth, staffed by parents of current SST students.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended our Open House and made this event a tremendous success. We look forward to welcoming many of our P6 visitors into our dynamic community in 2025.

2024 School-Parent Meeting (SPM) & Career Day @ SST

On 23rd May, we had our annual SPM & Career Day. The SPM serves as a platform for teachers and parents to engage in the holistic development of our SST students and provide support for their learning needs.

The Student-Led Parent-Form Teacher Conference is specially designed for our students to take the lead and share their learning experiences in school with both their parents and teachers. We believe that through this proactive approach of engaging families as partners, our students gain a better understanding of their own strengths and take responsibility for their own learning.

Our students and their parents also attended information talks and visited the Career Fair, where they learned more about the post-secondary and tertiary education pathways that are available to them after graduating from SST. Exhibitors from post-secondary and tertiary institutions set-up booths and enthusiastically shared their distinctive curricula while answering questions from both students and their parents.
It was truly a fruitful and meaningful experience for all.
