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

It's happening today 👉 Safety during Solar Eclipse on 20 April 2023

On 20 April 2023 from 10:45 am to 1:00 pm, there will be a PARTIAL solar eclipse happening over the skies of Singapore. You will get to see only part of the sun being eclipsed by the moon. 

The maximum happens around 1155 am.

👉 Observing the sun directly is dangerous for your eyes.

You may like to use alternative methods to view the sun using the information from the website below: 

https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/eclipses/safety/#:~:text=When%20watching%20a%20partial%20or,safe%20for%20viewing%20the%20Sun.

In a simpler arrangement, just BACK FACE the sun and hold a piece of paper with a hole to your side. You can "SEE" the sun through the reflection on the ground. 

For your information and stay safe.
