Objectives

To appreciate the contributions that the staff in SST had done to support the school community
For students to bond with the staff in SST and recognise the efforts the staff had contributed by learning more about their backgrounds
To encourage the SST community to practise appreciation towards each other which allows us to foster a positive culture in SST
The event seeks to foster a positive culture through appreciating the numerous things the SST family (students, partners, teachers and all school staff) do for each other on a daily basis. It is also a platform where SST students rally together as ONE SST to express gratitude and foster school spirit and identity as one SST family.

SAW 2022 Theme - “Celebrating the Stars!”

Swapping of Monday and Tuesday Timetables Next Week (Term 3, Week 5)

Dear Students,

As the School will be hosting a visit by the Minister for Education, Mr Chan Chun Sing on Monday, 25 July 2022, from 8 am to 10 am, we will swap timetables for Monday and Tuesday for next week, i.e. on Monday 25 July, we will run our Tuesday timetable, while on Tuesday 26 July, we will run our Monday timetable. Reporting time for students on Monday, 25 July 2022 will thus be at 7.40 am while reporting time for Tuesday, 26 July 2022 will be at 8.40 am.

This also means that the Sec 3s will have their HBL on 25 July rather than 26 July. However, the Sec 3 students involved in the hosting of the Minister will still report to school before 7.40 am on 25 July 2022.

Thank you.

School of Science and Technology, Singapore

SSTree - Contest and a student-initiated service learning project by S3-01

Dear SST Family,

As part of our Class Service Learning Project, our class, S3-01, initiated SSTree, a project that aims to plant more trees and raise awareness about deforestation.

Deforestation leads to an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, accelerating climate change. Planting more trees also leads to an increased amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, and thus combating climate change.

As part of the project, we are holding a contest in the form of a quiz. (Open now till 22nd July) Do submit your answers here! There will be attractive prizes to be won!

Do check out @sstactvocates on Instagram to view Instagram Stories regarding deforestation and how you can play your part for the environment.

Should you have any queries, feel free to contact us for more information:

HBL - in Timetable

Blended Learning in MOE’s context refers to a seamless blending of different modes of learning to enhance students’ educational experience. One aspect of Blended Learning is the integration of home-based learning (HBL) as a regular feature of the schooling experience.

HBL takes place once a fortnight when students do not report to school for lessons, but carry out self-directed learning or activities assigned to be completed remotely.

Instructions and tasks will be assigned by the subject teacher in the Google Classroom (though the tasks may not be confined to the Google Classroom).

HBL - not in Timetable

In the event that HBL is declared for a school day (i.e. not in timetable or pre-planned):
1. Subject lessons will follow current timetable.
2. Lessons will take place via the existing GMeet/ Online platforms set up in the subject Google Classrooms.
3. Login and report to the Form Teacher at the usual morning assembly time for attendance taking and morning briefing. REMEMBER:
Check the Students Blog and your official email regularly (8 am and 5pm) for any updates communicated to you in the day.
