Dear SGSians, parents and partners,
We welcome you as valued members of our Serangoon Garden Secondary School family. Ours is an educational institution with a focus on holistic education, preparing students for life by developing them in the cognitive, social and moral, leadership, aesthetics and physical domains.
The school has a caring culture that promotes academic success and nurtures strength of character as embodied in our vision, “A Caring, Learning Community”. We recognize the importance of an innovative and enterprising environment that focuses on cultivating talents, to better prepare our pupils for the future. We have introduced several programmes to encourage the pursuit of excellence as a way of life. We are confident that these initiatives have imbued in our pupils 21st Century skills that will help them meet the challenges of tomorrow.
At SGS, we nurture well-rounded and global ready students through a range of Co-Curricular Activities ranging from sports and uniformed groups, to performing arts and clubs. We are proud to have received the Sustained Achievement Awards for both our Uniformed Groups (2001-2010) and for Aesthetics (2008-2010). We have also done well in sports, with our soccer boys coming in among the top 4 schools in the South Zone for the 3rd consecutive year. Three of our boys also participated in the Youth Olympic Games 2010 selections, with one eventually representing Singapore in boxing.
In line with our school mission, “Love to Learn; Learn to Care”, we seek to instill in our students the passion for learning and the heart to care for others. We would like SGSians to take advantage of the many available opportunities to enhance their own learning. Our twinning programme with a Shandong school has provided our students with a more global outlook. Our students go on overseas learning journeys to places like India and Australia, and they also experience service learning through trips to Cambodia and other countries. In addition, our commitment to teaching our youth to appreciate our nation and to respect people of different races and religions has won us the Development Award for National Education in 2008.
I look forward to the support of everyone in the SGS community in upholding the good name of the school. With the team of dedicated staff here, we will continue to build upon our rich heritage of over 50 years.
Warmest regards,
Mr Ng Chee Kheong
Principal
