Racial Harmony Day 2026 – Our People, Our Tapestry

Dear students, 

Racial Harmony Day (RHD) is a meaningful opportunity to reflect on how our nation has grown as a multicultural society one built on mutual respect, understanding, and unity among people of all ethnicities and cultures.

This year’s theme, “Our People, Our Tapestry,” reminds us that each of our cultures is like a unique thread in the rich fabric of Singapore. Together, these threads create a vibrant and resilient tapestry. At times, differences may challenge us, but they also give us the chance to listen, learn, and strengthen the bonds that hold us together through empathy, curiosity, and care.

RHD is not just a celebration. It is a time for us to reflect on how we can express our views respectfully, appreciate diverse perspectives, and contribute to a more inclusive and united community.

To commemorate this important occasion on 20 July (Monday), all students are encouraged to come dressed in their traditional ethnic attire that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Singapore. This symbolic act reminds us of the beauty and strength found in our diversity.

We also invite you to take a step further, consider swapping traditional ethnic costumes with friends or borrowing one from someone of a different culture. These small yet meaningful gestures are opportunities to build deeper understanding and appreciation for each other’s cultures.

Let us approach this celebration with openness, respect, and curiosity. Please ensure that all attire:

• Respects cultural traditions

• Is of appropriate length

• Avoids offensive or outlandish designs

• Includes covered shoes for safety

*** You are to change into your S&W attire should you have S&W lessons on 20th July, Monday. 

Let’s use this Racial Harmony Day to show appreciation for one another’s cultures, learn something new, and continue building a more inclusive and united community.

Together, let’s make this a meaningful and memorable celebration!

*If you have any queries regarding attire on 20 July or the RHD programme, please check in with your Form Teacher.

Brought to you by the Active Citizenship Education (ACE) Committee

Youth Day commemorations @SST 🌟 - Celebrate Giving to Youth Appeal !

Dear Students of SST,

Youth Day is a time to celebrate the energy, potential and contributions of young people. This year, we invite you to celebrate by making a difference through the Youth Day Appeal (YDA).

For 42 years, YDA has been part of Community Chest’s youth outreach efforts, bringing students across Singapore together to support those in need.

This year, SST will be adopting a customised QR code for our school for YDA donations.

There will also be a short in-class briefing on YDA by Form Teachers on T3W1 Friday, 3 June.

Students with a banking app may make their donation directly by scanning the QR code below. Students without a banking app may approach your parents for help with the donation.

Please note that there will be no physical collection of cash donations. All donations should be made through the QR code.

Every dollar counts. You can make a difference by donating part of your pocket money and encouraging your classmates to give together.

Beyond giving, you can also help by sharing the message of YDA with your friends and inspiring others to care for those in need.

Let us come together as one SST community to celebrate Youth Day by giving with compassion, respect and empathy.

Together, every act of giving makes a difference.
Happy Youth Day!
Youth Day Commemoration - YDA Team (Active Citizenship Committee)

Implementation of the Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) in schools

 Dear Students

Following the National Environment Agency's launch of Singapore's nationwide Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) on 1 Apr 26, all MOE schools will be implementing this initiative. The scheme encourages mindful consumption, proper recycling habits, and reduced littering whilst creating a clean stream of recyclables.

The BCRS applies a 10-cent deposit on beverages in plastic and metal containers (150ml-3L). This deposit is refunded when containers are returned to designated “Return Right” Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs). Only containers bearing the scheme's deposit mark are eligible for refunds.

During the transition period from 1 Apr to 30 Sep 26, school drink stalls may sell beverages with or without the deposit mark. A 10-cent deposit will only be charged for beverages with the deposit mark. Containers without the deposit mark are not eligible for a refund.

From 1 Oct 26, all regulated beverages sold in school canteens must carry the deposit mark as required by law. Similar to hawker centres, the drinks stallholders will charge the 10-cent deposit directly to students. This minimises operational burden and financial risk for stallholders, especially elderly ones who will find it challenging to return the containers

Students are encouraged to develop responsible recycling habits by returning empty containers to RVMs located outside school premises. Refunds will be processed digitally through EZ-Link cards or DBS PayLah!. Whilst rinsing is not required for refunds, we encourage students to empty and rinse containers before returning them as a good recycling practice and to address hygiene concerns.

We also hope that students maintain healthy lifestyles, which includes drinking plain water for proper hydration.

Please refer to this link for more information on BCRS. Should you have any queries, please contact NEA @ www.go.gov.sg/nea-feedback, or sasd@sst.edu.sg.

Thank you for your support in helping our students develop sustainable

habits.

Regards
