CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
The 2024 school year has been another memorable one at SST, where our students have received a distinctive education rooted in SST’s identity as a School of Innovation by Design, guided by its three core principles: Applied Learning, Integrated Learning, and Innovation. It has brought me great satisfaction to continue to witness the caring and committed SST staff providing such a nurturing environment where our students can flourish and internalise SST’s values - the 4Rs: Respect, Responsibility, Relationships, and Reflection—along with the essential 21st Century Competencies, which serve as a guiding framework that shapes SST’s curriculum. These principles not only empower SST students to excel academically but also support their journey to become Future Leaders with Exemplary Character.
Throughout the year, I have witnessed the transformation of SST students into the best versions of themselves, making positive contributions to SST’s culture and the wellbeing of their peers. By mindfully practising the 4Rs, they not only strengthened their academic performance but also developed their moral character, equipping themselves with the tools required to thrive in all aspects of life. They participated in numerous exciting events, including the Election Rallies for the House of Leaders, the S4 Discovery Camp, overseas school exchanges in various countries, and a number of national and international competitions. Each of these activities represents SST’s ongoing commitment to challenge our students and to provide them with an extensive and diverse educational
The successful signing of the SST-SUTD Memorandum of Understanding in April this year is another important milestone for SST. This agreement further strengthens the on-going partnership between Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and SST, particularly in the area of STEM talent development. Through this collaboration, SST students have access to several unique opportunities, including participation in the annual SUTD-SST Big-D Camp, designed to offer immersive experiences in design thinking, innovation, and solving real world problems. Such a partnership is vital for the growth and development of our students in today’s world.
SST will be celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2025. This milestone is not just a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved but also a reflection of the innovative spirit that has driven SST forward over the years. As we look back on the journey, we can celebrate not only the achievements and the challenges overcome, but also the community that has grown around this unique organization. With a strong foundation and a commitment to excellence, I am confident that the next chapter will bring even more groundbreaking accomplishments which will inspire and benefit future generations of SST students. Here’s to the dedicated team at SST and the bright future that lies ahead!
Prof Lim Seh Chun Chairman
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
As we reflect on this incredible school year 2024, I am filled with pride at the remarkable achievements of our students, staff, and alumni. Our vision of becoming “A globally connected institution dedicated to transforming learning” has truly come to life, firmly rooted in our core mission: “To nurture passionate innovators who apply knowledge of science and technology, guided by the spirit of the humanities for a better world.” Throughout this year, every learning experience, academic endeavour, and co-curricular activity has been meticulously designed to align with our vision and mission. Our commitment to nurturing the 10Cs— Critical Thinking, Intellectual Curiosity, Creative Thinking, Courage, Commitment, Confidence, Communication, Collaboration, CrossCultural Understanding, and Citizenship— has empowered our students to realise their potential and evolve into Future Leaders with Exemplary Character.
This year has been replete with meaningful enriching programmes and activities designed to enhance the educational experience within both our curriculum and co-curriculum frameworks. From the exhilarating local and overseas learning experiences, the engaging Digital Citizenship Week and capstone projects, to the vibrant Graduation Ceremony and the participation in national and international competitions, our students have explored various domains that bridged learning and real-world applications. Our commitment to integrated and applied learning was showcased through our participation in highstakes events like the astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Space Challenge where our students not only competed but emerged as co-winners, earning places in the Space Camp in Alabama. Each of these experiences has reinforced our curriculum’s focus on innovation and technological fluency while nurturing the critical thinking and collaboration skills essential for the challenges of tomorrow.
An essential component of our educational journey has been the invaluable contributions of our industry partners. Their involvement has allowed us to create authentic learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom. For instance, our collaboration with Captain Raymond (SkyX Immersion and SIA) involved our SYFC and Scouts (Air) students in the building of the RV-8 aircraft, ensuring they were selected to set up a booth for the 2024 Singapore Airshow. Additionally, our partnership with A*STAR granted students the opportunity to work on real-world research projects, fostering skills in critical thinking and problem-solving. Furthermore, the mentorship from industry leaders during the National Robotics Competition not only reinforced STEM education but also built confidence among participants, encouraging their creativity and
innovation. Projects such as the “GrowCalth” app developed by our House Captains, supported by feedback from local health and wellness experts, have empowered our students to apply their learning in meaningful contexts while promoting health and fitness within our school community. These partnerships not only enrich the learning experience but also ensure that our curriculum remains relevant and synonymous with the demands of the everevolving job market.
Among the key milestones we celebrated this year, the 14th Celebrations@SST stood out as a momentous occasion that united our school community. This event was not just a celebration of our students’ achievements, but a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved—SST’s Board of Directors, staff, parents, and alumni. Additionally, the signing of the MOU with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) marks a significant step in strengthening our collaborative efforts for future educational initiatives, enriching our student offerings with hands-on experiences in robotics, drones, and more. Moreover, the successful hosting of multiple learning journeys—including international trips to experience STEAMfocused learning—has further expanded our students’ horizons and equipped them with vital skills and knowledge pertinent to a rapidly changing world.
As we reminisce about these milestones, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to our parents, the backbone of our educational partnership, and our alumni, who continue to inspire our current students with their journeys and successes. Your support and engagement have been instrumental in our achievements and the nurturing of our student’s holistic development. I also wish to acknowledge the contributions of our staff who continuously go above and beyond to create a conducive learning environment, fostering both academic excellence and personal growth and safety.
In closing, we are thrilled to announce that we have officially kicked off our 15th Anniversary celebrations, with the first event being our highly memorable Graduation Ceremony
on September 27. These celebrations will culminate in our grand event, 15th Anniversary Celebrations@SST, set for April 2025, where we will collectively reflect on our journey and envision the future of our institution. I invite you all to join us in this journey, as we honour our achievements while keeping our eyes set on the transformative possibilities that lie ahead. Together, let us continue to empower our students to embrace their potential, contribute positively to our community, and strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives.

OUR GOALS
ABOUT SST
The establishment of SST was first announced by then Minister for Education, Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, in Parliament on 4 March 2008. It was intended to introduce a new option for students who want both a solid academic foundation and immersion in real-world applications.
As a specialised independent school, SST seeks to be a global leader in transforming learning. With strong support from the Ministry of Education (MOE), Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the school has been offering a distinctive 4-year school programme with a difference. The school delivers its curriculum on the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platform with an integrated approach to applied learning. In addition, it is the first school in Singapore to offer a wide range of applied subjects such as Biotechnology, Computing+, Design Studies, Electronics and Engineering+.
Planning and preparation for the school started from mid-2008 with a pioneer team of 13 and the school welcomed its pioneer cohort of 200 students on 4 January 2010. Ngee Ann Kongsi, a philanthropic organisation, pledged a donation of S$8.1 million to the school at the new campus groundbreaking ceremony in March 2010.
The school moved to its new campus at 1 Technology Drive on 3 January 2012 with 600 students from Secondary 1 to 3 levels, and a team of over 80 academic staff and 20 administrative staff at present. Graced by then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr Tharman Shamugaratnam, along with other distinguished guests at its Official Opening Ceremony on 13 April 2013.
Holistic education is emphasised through the offering of various programmes and opportunities for Cognitive, Social-Affective, Physical, Character and Leadership and Citizenship development; in the process steering students towards acquiring higher-order cognitive, innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets, competencies and skills to meet the challenges and needs of the 21st Century.
SST students have gone on to do well in the O-Level examinations and receiving institutions of graduated students have reported that SST students demonstrate a distinct difference in the way they approach their learning. Among those who have matriculated into universities or are embarking on their tertiary education, one in five students has received prestigious scholarships or awards in various areas.
The school celebrated its 10th anniversary on 17th November 2020. During the event, then Minister for Education, Mr Lawrence Wong, announced the piloting of the SST-NP Integrated Diploma Programme to better cater to students with an aptitude in STEM.

The Active Citizenship Education (ACE) Leadership Board aims to develop student leaders who are passionate about active citizenship and service-learning.
Starting in Secondary 2, students receive formal training through Heartware Network and gradually take on leadership roles. By Secondary 3, our ACE Leaders guide their peers in community service, including leading mobile distribution sessions, and oversee service-learning and advocacy projects, gaining practical experience. These activities equip our ACE Leaders with the skills and mindset needed to drive social change, starting within the school and extending beyond it, preparing them to embrace global opportunities while serving humanity.

This year, DCB expanded the Digital Inquiry (DI) programme, building on last year’s pilot. Digital Citizenship Leaders (DCLs) and Junior Digital Citizenship Leaders (JDCLs) engaged in termlong research on various digital technology topics throughout the newly introduced DC Dialogue platform. They shared their findings and facilitated meaningful discussions within SST and with Cyber Wellness ambassadors from secondary schools across Singapore.
DCB remains dedicated to promoting the values of Digital Citizenship, fostering critical thinking, and empowering students to navigate digital challenges responsibly. Our motto, ‘BE SAFE. BE SENSIBLE. BE THOUGHTFUL’ continues to guide us in creating a positive digital environment for everyone.

Members are regularly challenged to step out of their comfort zones and harness the diverse talents within the group, pushing the boundaries of their creative potential. Over the years, our students have consistently demonstrated remarkable showmanship and dedication, balancing rigorous training with competitive performances.
A highlight for the choir this year was the 2023 B-dazzled Show Choir Music and Dance Festival. The dynamic Show Choir team not only competed but excelled, earning the prestigious Diamond Award and the Best Showmanship Award.
“B-dazzled
2023 was particularly challenging due to tight time constraints and a limited number of members. However, this experience taught us valuable lessons as we learned to train effectively and improve our skills as a choir. The long hours of hard work also helped us forge stronger bonds. We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the CCA teachers and external trainers for their unwavering support.”

DANCE CREW
The Dance crew is a vibrant community of passionate street dancers united by a dedication to excellence. We foster a supportive and energetic environment where members inspire and encourage one another to grow. Our dedicated coaches provide training that not only sharpens our dance skills but also equips us with valuable life lessons such as discipline, perseverance, and teamwork. This year, we participated in exciting events, learning from top talents and broadening our horizons. We look forward to continuing our journey in the world of street dance.
9 of us had the incredible opportunity to represent SST Dance Crew in an immersive workshop at MOE HQ, led by local street dance professionals. This unique experience allowed us to delve into the artistry and diversity of street dance, exploring locking, breaking, and hip-hop choreography while connecting with passionate dancers from other schools.
We had the privilege of attending a master workshop with renowned locking street dancer Tash from Montreal, who encouraged us to freestyle and explore the freedom of movement beyond choreographed routines.
Swagging into the Lunar New Year with our high-energy dance, we celebrate individuality within unity. The celebratory vibe of our performance has also made it a featured item in this year’s Celebrations@SST, where student achievements are recognised.
We were honoured to be part of the REACH@SST cluster event, a social mixing initiative designed to bring together students from five neighbouring schools. As hosts of “Let’s Dance Together”, we welcomed three schools from the same cluster and shared the vibrant culture of street dance.
As we gather for our farewell party, we celebrate the amazing journey we have shared as the SST Dance Crew. From intense training sessions to unforgettable stage performances, this CCA has been where passion meets friendship. We have created countless memories together, and we wish our graduating batch all the best in their future endeavours.
“Unity in motion, strength in collaboration. We always strive to train hard and support one another to achieve success as a team. It’s this culture that keeps us going, united as a family.”

Science is often viewed as a body of knowledge that allows us to predict and explain phenomena in the natural world. However, the process of acquiring this knowledge, which is just as crucial, has been less emphasised. Scientific research is inherently a collaborative endeavour, involving asking questions, formulating hypotheses, gathering information, designing and conducting investigations, analysing data, and communicating findings.
The ‘Investigative Skills in Science’ module offers students the opportunity to become inquirers by conducting in-depth studies in areas of their interest. Through this process, students develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will not only serve them in their continued study of Science beyond secondary school but will also benefit them throughout their lives.
In 2024, approximately 100 projects were completed by the S2 cohort, with groups of 2 to 3 students working together. Outstanding projects were then submitted to various competitions, giving students the chance to present their work to a broader audience.
“Overall, this experiment was enjoyable as I was able to communicate and collaborate well with my peers, completing the experiment on time and having fun along the way. To improve as a group, we could work on articulating our experimental ideas more clearly, as our teacher was initially confused, which led to multiple changes in the experiment procedure.” findings, and gained valuable insights for my future research.”

“AN UNFORGETTABLE OUTWARD BOUND EXPERIENCE”
Our S3 students joined a 5-day, 4-night camp with Outward Bound Singapore (OBS), alongside peers from three other schools, in an experience rich with team-building and selfdiscovery. They embraced nature, stepped out of their comfort zones, and built lasting friendships through activities like sea navigation, rock climbing, and rope courses. Low-element exercises, such as trust walks and group puzzles, fostered collaboration, unity, and problem-solving. The sea expedition, a highlight, taught resilience, adaptability, and safety awareness during a kayaking journey.
Evening reflection sessions offered opportunities for introspection, reinforcing the lessons learned. Campers also acquired practical skills like outdoor cooking and tent pitching, finding personal growth in the process. OBS’s facilitators ensured both physical and emotional well-being, making this camp not just an adventure but a transformative journey. Our students returned home with a newfound appreciation for nature, teamwork, and resilience.

“On Monday 8th July, we accompanied nine students from Year 9 and 10 on an amazing adventure to Singapore for the final part of the Singapore Exchange trip after our colleagues and students from SST Singapore visited us in May. Our students fully embraced the experience; the trip enabled them to step outside of their comfort zones (including some students facing their fear of heights at Gardens by the Bay!) and fully immersed themselves in Singaporean culture. SST Singapore hosted us for two full days and it was amazing to have a taster of their lessons and see some impressive technology like the robotics room. We had an action-packed schedule of excursions and some highlights included Universal Studios Singapore, exploring the Art Science Museum, Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and trying lots of delicious local food at the Hawker centres! We are so grateful to our friends from Singapore for hosting our students and for making us all feel so welcome.
Without a doubt, we have made memories and friendships to last a lifetime!” -

“Our Singapore exchange was an incredible opportunity to be part of. I felt privileged to have been able to stay with a wonderful and welcoming host family who showed me lots of Singapore sights such as Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, the WW2 Battle Box and Little India. I really enjoyed experiencing SST Singapore’s school day and participating in their lessons. It was amazing to explore iconic landmarks such as Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands Hotel that I had seen on television, and viewing the cityscape. Also, the food was delicious. I am very grateful for this experience.”
