Create Your Own Newspaper Competition 2022 - Please support SST

Dear SST students,

Recently, two groups of Secondary 2 and 3 have taken part in a Create Your Own Newspaper Competition 2022.  We are honoured and delighted to say that both groups have entered the final round of the competition, and part of the final round is an online popularity voting contest. Thus, we would need your help and support. The total number of votes accumulated serves as an encouragement for our efforts. The online popularity voting contest will be open for the public to vote from 18 August 2022 till 28 August 2022.

Here is a short introduction to the competition: 

For the lower secondary 2 team, the chosen theme for this year was “美”, which stands for beauty. We decided to focus on the beauty of music, in specific, the art of the six strings (guitar). 

For the upper secondary team, the chosen theme was "两个世界” which stands for 2 worlds. We decided to focus on the metaverse, the digital “parallel universe” due to the advancement of technology. 

We hope to gather your help and support for our teams' posts. Please help to vote for us by clicking the “Like” button via the two links shared below! Thank you!

Save That Pen - Service-learning project by S3-02

 Dear SST, 

As part of our class service learning project, our class, S302 have started project Save that pen. Save that pen aims to collect used pens in good condition and hope to give it a second life. 

Students tend to use a large amount of pens and usually dispose of their pens after use, despite it being refillable, contributing unnecessary plastic waste which is detrimental to the environment.

We hope to collect these pens and donate them to the NUS bins which would then donate these pens to less fortunate students who would need these pens.

We have boxes to collect these pens outside the staffroom, the small stairs from level 4 to 5 and outside the general office.

Do follow our Class instagram @savethatpen.sst for more information. 

If there are any queries feel free to email:

wayne_khor_shao_hong@s2020.ssts.edu.sg, mukadam_simrah_sameer@s2020.ssts.edu.sg soh_yong_liang_sylvester@s2020.ssts.edu.sg,richie_ho_jun_you@s2020.ssts.edu.sg, fazila_binte_samsultha@s2020.ssts.edu.sg, or

We look forward to your donations! 

Thank you!
