NE Commemorative Days
The theme for this year is “Together We Keep
Singapore Strong”. In view of the Covid-19 situation, we engaged students through
discussion on how they can play their part to keep Singapore safe. Students
were taught to be an advocate for personal and social responsibility by
sharing their knowledge with their family.
The theme for this year is “Beyond Borders”. Due to
the Covid-19 situation, students gathered in class to understand more about
the special day. Through the sharing, students learnt about the different
cultures and languages spoken by the different countries in Southeast Asia.
The theme for this year is “Multicultural
Singapore”. As Singapore progresses and as we continue to shape
our multicultural identity, it is important that
we strengthen the collective identity of Singaporeans. Through
encouraging our youths to cultivate strong relationships with
diverse individuals and groups, we inspire them to take
ownership of their roles in building a cohesive Singapore. National Day The
theme for this year, “Together A
Stronger Singapore”, is a rallying call for Singaporeans to play our
part to push forward and determine Singapore’s future, in spite of the
difficulties and crises. We engaged students through an observance ceremony via Zoom,
viewed the Art Display, did a MTS Clap as a Tribute to Frontliners, watched a
Skit, had a Chair Dance to celebrate class-spirit & ended off with the
MTS Virtual Choir singing “We are Singapore”. NESS Learning Journeys Learning journeys
allow students to contextualise their learning experiences in an authentic
real-world setting. Students would also be able to have hands-on exploration
in a focused area of study, thus being engaged in multi-sensory learning. [Due
to COVID-19, some learning journeys were cancelled.]
