In SST, we adopt technology as a way of life. Ubiquitous use of technology takes place not just in classrooms, but also in co-curricular programmes. Students would be equipped with the technology skills and life skills to use ICT responsibly for learning, social interaction and recreation.
We believe our digital natives are adventurous, enthusiastic and possess lots of initiative - important characteristics of technology-savvy 21st century citizens. They explore, try and discover! They will explore the unlimited possibilities and strive for excellence. Fear not, you are not on your own. The teachers are around to get you started with this exciting journey.
Welcome to the Whole New Way of Learning!
