Secondary School Open House 2011
-
Went to the SST parents’ seminar.
There was a talk by the vice principal, by a parent and students themselves. And finally a Q and A session by the principal.
Have mixed feelings about this school. Even though the teaching methodology is very different ( very hands-on and ICT based which suits my DS very well) no track record as currently they have only sec1 and sec2. Not sure after all the unconventional method of teaching how the students will fare in the conventional ‘O’ level.
Anybody else attended the SST seminar? Your inputs/feelings about this school… -

I attended last year talks and had the same concern...
21st century teaching but eventually 20th century testing , sigh!
But yes it is a future school and looks pretty sound, so if your DS is inclined then go ahead...
but for DD , she is not so much a techie and flat refused to sit for DSA , so i really didnt have a say. -

hi Tisha, i share the same feeling and thought about DSA and SST. Perhaps, SST is very new and not much talking on it unlike NUS high. I’m not too sure of the DSA probably will see how after attending the school talk in May. Also need to prepare portfolio so will probably do that after SA if really decided to apply. -

It's called the \"santuary\", I think.
Yes you are right, the VP was there in the Century (if that is the correct name ) and he was the same guy who visited my DS school just a month ago..:) -
tisha:
We a bit shy for DSA since not in GEP and also do not have any portfolio to speak of. Good to know all get to go at least for the first test. May send DS for even if just for the experience.
What is there to be shy about? But only try IF your child is interested. If he's not, no point trying. He'll not be able to convince the interviewers well if that's the case. -
