💛 Celebrating Care & Gratitude at QTSS

This week, we showcased the acts of care and gratitude shared by fellow Queenstownians — the little gestures, thoughtful words and quiet acts of kindness that remind us what it means to care for one another. 🌱

With Teachers’ Day fast approaching, we’d love to extend this spirit of gratitude to the teachers who have journeyed with us — past and present.

To all current and ex-Queenstownians: take a moment to pen down a message of appreciation to a teacher who has made a difference in your life. Your words may mean more to them than you realise. 💙 Teachers will receive these messages from Term 3 Week 10 onwards. Be generous in your gratitude message as selected ones will also be showcased during Teachers' Day Celebrations.

🎉 Celebrating Growth & Excellence in Our ‘O’ Level (June) MTL Results! 🎉

We are thrilled to share that our overall Mother Tongue Language results have matched our best ever set of results achieved in 2024! Almost 1 in 3 students achieved distinction! This is also our largest number of students achieving distinction! ⭐️

What inspires us most is seeing so many students reach their personal goals and grow in confidence. ❤️ This success is the fruit of focused effort, active learning, and acting on feedback from teachers and peers. 💪

Your resilience, willingness to reflect, and grit made all the difference and we know this positive momentum will push you forward strongly into your national examinations! 📈

A thank you to our parents for your unwavering support and encouragement throughout this journey! 🙏

🌏 Connecting Educators, Inspiring Learning

We were delighted to welcome guests from University of Melbourne, led by Marian Mahat to our school for a professional learning visit on 12 August 2026!
 
The visit provided an opportunity for our guests to gain insights into our approaches to teacher professional learning, and how we intentionally design learning spaces and learning experiences to foster active student engagement.
 
Our guests also stepped into our classrooms to see teaching and learning in action across Character and Citizenship Education (CCE), English Language (EL), Physical Education (PE), and Design & Technology (D&T) lessons.
 
Beyond the classroom visits, the rich conversations and exchange of perspectives reminded us of the value of learning with and from educators beyond our shores as we continue to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for our students.
 
Thank you to our staff and students for warmly welcoming our guests and generously sharing our learning practices!  ❤️

A big thank you to Ms Joan Pereira, Adviser to Henderson Dawson Grassroots Organisations, for joining us as Guest of Honour at National Day Celebration ! 🇸🇬

Hosting the National Day Celebration and community festivities at Queenstown Secondary School made celebrating our 70th anniversary milestone extra meaningful. We truly appreciate your warm support for our school and dedicated service to our Community.

Throwback to National Day Celebrations@QTSS as part of Quest70! 🇸🇬❤️

It was a day filled with celebration, learning, and community spirit. From the parade to the lively carnival, our school partnered with Henderson-Dawson Constituency to bring residents together for Singapore’s birthday and our school’s 70th anniversary, creating meaningful opportunities for our community to connect.

A key highlight was the Questival, where Queenstownians showcased initiatives focused on environmental and social sustainability. True to our 70-year heritage, these projects are designed to make a positive impact on the various communities and groups the youth have been working with. Seeing young people translate ideas into action and champion a more caring, sustainable society was deeply inspiring.

Beyond the performances and festivities, the event was a wonderful reminder that National Day is not just about celebrating our nation’s past, but also about building stronger communities for the future. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so memorable! 🎉✨

Majulah Singapura, Go Beyond!
