Learning Journeys by the Staff and Students

On the 13th of July, the Humanities Department Staff went on a learning journey to the National Museum of Singapore.



The Singapore History Museum showcases some of the most valuable displays concerning Singapore's history, from Sang Nila Utama to Sir Stamford.
It has very important information on our history as a nation. It was an eye opener for us Humanities teachers when we discovered that Raffles might not be the founder of Singapore but another person. (Hint. He is also an English man with the name William)




Here, Mrs Selva and Mrs Nathan are examining some historical artifacts from the exhibits entitled :Orgin of Street Food Culture















Meanwhile, Ms Ng and Ms Faridah are examining some historical photographs about families in Singapore.

Battlefiled Tour

Meanwhile, our students visited the The Kranji War Memorial. Dedicated to the men and women from United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Sri Lanka, India, Malaya, the Netherlands and New Zealand who died defending Singapore and Malaya against the invading Japanese forces during World War II, it comprises the War Graves, the Memorial Walls, the State Cemetery, and the Military Graves.




The War Graves are the final resting places for 4,458 Allied servicemen who died during world war 1 and 2. Over 850 of these graves are unknown. The Memorial Walls have over 24,000 names of Allied servicemen whose bodies were never found.



Towards the north end of the cemetery grounds is the State Cemetery and burial site of Inche Yusuf bin Ishak and Benjamin Henry Sheares, the first two Presidents of Singapore.

Pupils learnt more here than they ever did through books. The field trip touched both their hearts and minds.
