Over 80 staff and students volunteered for this event which was organised by SSTC’s Student Welfare Manager, Mr Robert Sweithelm.  ”This activity will help our local community and at the same time, instill in our students and staff feelings of personal pride, self-respect, and moral integrity, in line with our Core Values,” said Mr Sweithelm.

It was indeed heartening that so many people volunteered for such a worthy cause. Encouraged by the response, other community projects will be organised later this year.

Specially designed for students between 10 and 16 year old, participants will learn English, English for Maths and English for Science in the morning. In the afternoon, they will be taken to excursions specially planned to enhance the morning’s lessons.

For example, one of the lessons is on the Animal Kingdom. Participants are then brought to the Singapore Zoo, Bird Park and Night Safari to experience their lessons in real life!

Other interesting places participants will visit are Universal Studios, Sentosa, Wild Wild Wet, Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay, Chinatown and many more places.

Si Bao had a serious medical condition which prevented her from attending school regularly. However, she persevered through her numerous operations and eventually completed her GCE ‘N’ Levels in 2011.

Si Bao had a dream to study business administration and eventually obtain a degree. When Make-a-Wish Foundation made a request to SSTC for a scholarship for Si Bao, the Management immediately approved a full-scholarship for her to cover 100% of her course fees and external examination fees.

Si Bao will be starting her LCCI Private Secretary’s Diploma and LCCI Diploma in Business Administration in March. SSTC will provide her with all the support to help her achieve her dream.

We congratulate them and all others who were also successful and wish them all the best in their studies and future careers.

Aimed at making their Singapore experience truly unique, a major part of the learning was done outside the classroom while they discovered Singapore. The General English, Math and Science (GEMS) Camp is the summer holiday program that offers students from many different countries a most memorable experience.

Offered by SSTC School for Further Education, the GEMS Camp has three important goals: improve the students’ English Language, allow them to discover Singapore, and ensure that the students do this in the most enjoyable way.

Classes were conducted at SSTC’s location in Singapore’s bustling centre and were very different from what the students are used to back in their own countries. Their teachers were also their guides, and the morning classes were organized in such a way that the lessons continued into the afternoon during the excursions. What they learnt in the lessons were directly related to the outings.

Everything went as planned, even when the weather sometimes threatened to dampen spirits. During the week, the students visited Chinatown and Little India and got a feel for the multi-cultural environment that is Singapore. An afternoon was spent at the Singapore Science Center, where students were amazed by all the different exhibits and activities. The students learnt about Singapore’s advanced solution to its water issues at the Marina Barrage and at the NEWater plant. Hay Dairies, the Jurong frog farm and the Green Rose Aeroponic Vegetable facility gave the students a look at where Singapore gets some of its produce. Two whole days were spent on the island of Sentosa. The first day at Sentosa allowed the students to take a day off from the lessons and spend a day in the world of Universal Studios. Their last day in Singapore was spent exploring the other attractions at Sentosa, including the Merlion, Fort Siloso and Images of Singapore. They capped their very enjoyable stay in Singapore with the magnificent Songs of the Sea performance in Sentosa.
