Hi to All SST potentials,


Dun miss the SST OPEN HOUSE (An Eye-Opener Event).
Must apply the SST-DSA. U wouldn't regret!!

SST's very fast-paced, gd empowerment learning with Excellent management & Dedicated Teachers.
Ngee Ann Kongsi had donated generously (S$8.1million) to SST recently with other huge donations coming in soon.
Small Cohort = Ample opportunities.
Many planned Overseas Learning Journeys (eg China, India, USA, EU, Asean, Aust, NZ etc) for the Sec 1 Pioneers. The 1st Batch is leaving for Beijing next week, follow by 2nd batch (Thailand).........

As SST is a collaboration of MOE-NP-NTU, so most students should be taking the Ngee Ann Poly-NTU route.
SST is just like one of the \"Apple\" Global Institutes with an in-house APPLE Service Center (SST Pioneers are using the MacBook Pro, iPhone & soon.... iPad).

The SST Young \"Ladies\" & \"Gentlemen\" are really enjoying themselves with THE WHOLE NEW WAY OF LEARNING!
The SST New Premises(2012) at the junction of Clementi Rd/C'Wealth Ave West (opp SP) is an Eco-Friendly High-Tech FutureSchool with many advanced facilities.

CHEERS !

Best Rgds,
Happy SST PARENTS / SST FAMILY


(P/s: Many scholarships & Bursaries are available. Very generous & helpful INSTITUTION!)


SST : THE CHOICE INSTITUTION !!

Hi all,
Just joined this forum today.
My son is seriously considering SST. We'll be going to the 22May open house.
Any existing parents of SST students wld like to share the experience studying in SST so far? Facilities? Dedication of teachers? CCAs?
Thanks.

I just heard that a boy at SST who was very good in maths when he was in Primary school failed his maths at SST... i am wondering could it be due to computer games since they have their own computer so very hard to control.


After hearing that I am wondering whether I shld still bring my son to the open house on sat.

I went to SST Open hse today, initally my son is not so comfortable but later on, he mixed well with the students and are playing with them. Basically, students there are more hands-on than in the classrooms studying.
Understood from the students, most of their homeworks are posted in the eportal. More outdoor learning!
Kids will definitely like the ideas and teaching are innovative.
Before I go to the open hse, I hv no intention to send my son there but after the open hse, decision changed.
Immediately after the open hse, I applied DSA for him.

Hi Adetan,

I couldnt go to the open house. But I did go for the talk sometime in april. And even before that what i had read about the school was good. On the visit I was pretty impressed with the curriculum and set up and the general spirit of the school. One nagging issue- 21st century teachings methods, future school - great but then 20th century testing methods - ie O levels ??
Why? Kinda defeats the purpose i feel.

So confused.
Anyway I want DD to apply but she suddenly is not so keen . Will apply anyway and take the call if selected . Afterall, the new campus is just stone strow from my home

[MixedHerbs]

hi, has anyone heard anything from the school about being shortlisted for the selection camp?

Could anyone explain to me what is School of Science & Technology all about? Is it some kind of IP like NUS school of Maths & Science? Thanks.
