Philosophy

SSS provides Possibilities for students. We practise a culture of Care for our students. With an 89-year history, Serangoon Secondary School has produced many illustrious alumni. Serangoon students are StaRs, developed holistically through comprehensive programmes designed to nurture each child's talents and aspirations and enable each child to excel holistically. Students' learning is guided by innovative teaching methodologies such as the Inquiry-based approach in Science and the Integrated Coursework approach in Craft and Technology. Our students are also provided with rich and diverse learning experiences both locally and overseas. Student Recognition is an integral part of our culture. Upper Secondary students can also strive for the Serangoon StaR awards for overall excellence in various areas. More than 90% of students graduate with at least an NYAA (Bronze) award. We value our partners and we value partnerships to enhance student learning. The Parent Support Group is actively involved in providing support, engaging parents, and networking to enrich students' learning. The school offers Computing and Mobile Robotics as Elective Subjects. Our students hone their leadership skills in working for the good of the community through our LLP niche in Project Ablaze: Harnessing Youth Leadership in the Service of Community. We also ensure our students are future ready, through our ALP niche in Real-world Explorations in ICT. We are committed to ensuring that our StaRs SHINE (our Star Qualities).
