Registration for 2021 The Schools Challenge

The SUTD and IDC are very honoured to collaborate with J.P. Morgan (JPM) and The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on the 2021 The Schools Challenge to be held virtually this year from the 26^th Feb 2021 to 23^rd April 2021. 

The Schools Challenge takes aspiring lower secondary students through a 2-month, structured programme with SUTD, focusing on STEM and Design Innovation skills, and culminates with a student-driven social project aimed at building a smart and sustainable Singapore. 

Throughout this series of virtual workshops hosted by SUTD, each team will be able to work closely with JP Morgan and SUTD mentors. This is a rare and unique opportunity given where every team will be supported by mentors from JP Morgan who will help the students develop business skills such as project management, business planning and pitching.

 Students can take a look at the ongoing Lively Places Programme - Housing & Development Board (HDB) by HDB and URA that falls suitably in line with our URA theme of “Enliven Public Spaces”.

 

There will be an extended opportunity for schools with eligible prototypes to be able to apply for the Lively Places Fund and Challenge - Housing & Development Board (HDB) where they will be able to showcase their ideas in their neighbourhood. This fund encourages residents and stakeholders to initiate community-driven place-making projects that will help develop stronger place identity in their neighbourhood. This is definitely an opportunity for all schools to be a part of and not to miss!

Attractive prizes await with up to $2000 for the winning team and up to $1000 for category winners.

Team Registration

Each school is allowed a maximum registration of 4 teams only and each team must consist of 4 lower secondary students. Registration is on a first come first serve basis. Interested students can email Mr Lam Hin Chew (lam_hin_chew@sst.edu.sg) with the team name, full name, email and classes of all the members.

[S2/S3/S4] Welcome back to SST in 2021!

 Dear students, 

Welcome back to SST in 2021! We hope that you have had a good break and are looking forward to seeing your friends and teachers back in school! :) 

As you adjust to a new normal in school, here are some reminders when you report to school on 4 Jan 2021 at 8.40am.

Preparing for the School

1. Your Journey to School

• You are advised to set off earlier than usual from home for school as you may encounter delays due to safe distancing measures on public transport and safe management measures by the school when you arrive. 

• Please familiarise yourself with the safe measurement measures on the buses and trains if you are taking public transport. 

2. Things to pack: 

• Bring your own kit (see list below) and avoid sharing essential items to prevent cross-contamination.

• Face Mask

• Reusable bag (eg. a plastic “sandwich” bag or paper bag) to store your mask and/or face-shield for hygiene purposes. Label your name and class on your reusable bag.

• Oral Digital Thermometer

• Hand sanitiser

• Wet wipes

• A box of tissue paper for wiping down of your learning area(s)

• Remember to bring a book for reading. 

3. Attire and Grooming 

• A gentle reminder for all students to be appropriately attired in your school uniform and groomed when you report for school. 

4. Safe Management Measures in School

All students are expected to play their part as a responsible member of the SST community by complying with the Safe Management Measures: 

4. Social Responsibility: 

• Remain at home if you are feeling unwell and seek medical advice. 

• DO NOT come to school if you are on Leave of Absence (LOA), Stay Home Notice (SHN), Home Quarantine Order (HQO) and Approved Absence (AA). 

• DO NOT come to school even if you are well but one of your adult household members (18 years old and above) shows flu-like symptoms. Please have your parents inform your form teacher or contact the General Office when this situation arises. 

• Check and monitor your own temperature daily. 

5.  Maintaining a Safe Distance at All Times

• Abide by all social distancing measures when commuting between home and school

• If you take the MRT to school, you are encouraged to walk to and from Dover MRT station and especially from SST to Dover MRT station to school if the weather permits to avoid crowding at the bus-stop. 

• Maintain social distancing from others at the school gate when entering and leaving the school. 

• When buying food, obey queue markers on the floor of the canteen for safe distancing. You are encouraged to join the queue that is cleared faster. 

• To facilitate the quick clearance of queues, most canteen stalls will be offering a fixed standard menu on a pick-and-go basis. You are advised to plan ahead so as to avoid browsing to see what is being offered by each stall.  

6. Practising Good Hygiene Upon Arrival in School 

• Wash hands with soap and water or clean hands with hand sanitiser

• Report directly to your classroom. 

• No playing of sport games (free/ unstructured play) or board games.

• Wipe down your desk area.

• Wash hands with soap and water or clean hands with hand sanitiser after wipe-down.
