I went for the English and Physics lesson today . It was rather fun and indeed applied learning . I learnt the angle of deviation and refraction during the Physics lesson through experiments . During the English lessons , we were asked to arrange the sequence of the procedures and also asked to create a ringtone by following a set of procedures guided by the teacher and written by us and we were allowed to keep the procedure of creating a ringtone . I feel it would be easy to adapt to the environment there if you are a hands-on person . I heard some insider's news from the teacher too . He told us that the new campus would have 10 laboratories and they are going to build a JC just for us . At the end of the 4 years , half of the cohort would go to polytechnics while the other half would stay . After going for the lessons , I would definitely choose SST .

Hi; the principle mentioned that till today they still do not know when SST will offer 6 year Programmer.

Thanks kid for the review. Sounds like fun. Good luck for your journey in SST.

That , I'm not sure but I guess they don't call it as a six-year programme as not all of the cohort will stay , only half . That may be the possible reason .

:thankyou: Did your child get into SST ?

No. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a decent PSLE score then we will appeal. This kind of thing is just the kind of stuff that excites him and he is very interested in anything technology related. I think the ringtone creation to teach English is such a fabulous idea - it would excite techies like my son who get excited by the activity and also force them to communicate effectively.

Good to know you are excited to go there after the lesson.

No doubt it, really suitable for my DS learning style and impressed with the principal and vice-principal speech. :rahrah:

Hi Parents, my daughter was selected at SST and we need to make a decision next week to send her there or not. She is expecting about 245-250 in her PSLE. what other options do i have for any IP schools (non-chinese)


SST looks attractive but it's not proven yet and from it's website i don't see any achievement from it's students in competitive exams (unlike NUS high, RI, NJC and other shools)

Pls advise

Hi AJAJ
Some information you may want to ponder:
* SST has more boys; girls are about 20-25% of cohort
* There is no literature, arts, home economics subjects, the children will have ADMT (arts, design media and technology) as a subject in year 1/2
* SST niche is science and technology - does your daughter has a keen interest in this area more than other subjects?

In terms of academic achievement, the mean score is about 245 which means that some can get as high as 260+ or as low as 200+. I think an all- rounder may not want to go SST unless the interest really lies in Science and Technology.

Some plus points: small class of 20plus, air-conditioner rooms, brand new campus next year
But the fees are higher $280/mth

Hope this helps.

SST will value-add to students, overall growth beyond their 'O' Level results.

Agree with McLaren . I also heard that everyone will have at least one chance to travel overseas , a learning trip or a service trip , etc . That sounds great to me ! I saw the new SST building . It’s really very big , across a stretch of road . I guess if u go to the school during december , it might have finished building and u will be able to see how is it like .

I attended the event ‘A Day At SST’ last week. It was rather fun and I like the use of technology in every class. The classes were interesting, even geography which i don’t like!
