Call for SAW Concert Performance is On!

Dear SST students,

Staff Appreciation Week (SAW) is an annual event eagerly awaited by staff and students. 


The objectives of SAW are:


  • To appreciate the contributions that both teaching and non-teaching staff in SST have made to support the school’s community

  • For students to bond with the staff in SST and to recognise their efforts by learning more about them and their backgrounds

  • To encourage the SST community to practice appreciation and gratitude towards each other 

  • To foster a positive and grateful culture through appreciating the numerous things the SST family do for each other daily. 

  • To build a platform where SST students can rally together as one SST to express thanks and foster school spirit and identity as a family

  • To foster a respectful and grateful relationship with the staff of SST


In line with the objectives, the theme for SAW 2023 is Our Tapestry of Thanks


Just like how tapestry and clothing are woven meticulously into one fabric, each and everyone of us make up our unique tapestry of our one SST family.


This year, the SAW concert will be held live in the MPH on 31 August (T3W10 Thursday).


We are inviting students to come forward and display their talents at the SAW concert.  The audition submission will be online, but the callbacks will be live!
