An Invitation by Media Club: Photo Exhibition at URA

[Announcement was first posted on 16 May;  updated on 23 May 2023]

Dear SST students,

On behalf of SST Media Club, we would like to extend an invitation to all of you to attend a photo exhibition organised by the Media Club students of our school at the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). The exhibition is a showcase of the many facets of the Singapore River, capturing its iconic landmarks, bridges, buildings, and the vibrant life that surrounds it. As you know, the Singapore River is a crucial part of the country's history and an iconic landmark of the city. It has been the main artery of trade and commerce for the British and continues to play a significant role in modern-day Singapore as a well-connected system linked by bridges that have stood the test of time. The exhibition captures the essence of the Singapore River and offers a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.

Our secondary 4 Media Club students have put a lot of effort into curating the exhibition and presenting it through their lenses. We are confident that it will be an exciting and informative experience for all. The exhibition will also provide an excellent opportunity for you to engage with our students and understand their creative processes and perspectives.

The duration of the exhibition will be from the 19th of May to 31st of July. It is free and open to the public at Urban Redevelopment Authority. More details can be found on the poster.

We look forward to your presence and support at the exhibition.

Best Regards,
Ms Afiah,Mdm Nurus, Mr Firdaus & Ms Xu Wei
(Teacher I/Cs of Media Club)
