My advise for the Mac book,is to get the extended warranty for the 4yrs. My son just finished his O level last month at SST and my girl (also in SST) is going Sec 3 next year. My son used Mac Book Air and my girl used Mac Book Pro. The Pro is faster and more powerful but heavier. My advise is to order the mac book as soon as possible, these mac books are customized so there is lead time. There are cases where sec 1 student started school without their mac book and only get it on the 2nd or worst case 3rd week of school. As for Microsoft office, it is not a must, most of the time the student use Google Classroom, a lot of work are done on the Mac book.

Hi nyk20,
Seeing you have 2 kids in sst, can you share why and how you have finally decided a new sch like sst with diff curriculum compared to other op schs?
You must have liked something there that you had your 2nd child enrolled there too?

There are number of reasons for me to choose SST

1. The school cohort is small, about 200 student per intake, and each class is only about 25 students.
2. A lot of hands-on experience, in terms of projects and assignments. Students are exposed to working as a group, and many a times students have to learn to work with others.
3. There are many programmes (TDP - Talent development programme - Science, Maths, ICT, Media) for student to join, it is all up to the student.
4. The school is constantly learning and evolving, can see changes almost every year. Example next yer 2020, they introduce bermuda, before that my son wear long pants for 4yrs.
5. My son likes the school and he had lots of fun. His sister don’t mind joining SST, she was from MGPS.
6. You will be surprise there are quite a number of siblings studying at SST.
7. Lastly, distance plays a part, it is near our home and my office.

Thank you nyk20, for sharing.

I also agree that location is an impt consideration. Can tell from your kids’ choices. Also, I can see the link among the choices.
