Summary of

“Out of the classroom, into the world”

(Straits Times)

This article highlights how Singapore schools have resumed overseas exchange programmes after the Covid-19 pandemic, giving students valuable real-world learning experiences beyond the classroom.

Students from Jurong West Secondary School (JWSS) went on a six-day trip to Suzhou, China, where they explored both historical sites like Tongli Water Town and modern industries like semiconductor factories. They also bonded with local students by exchanging gifts and creating a thank-you video in the Suzhou dialect.

Meanwhile, Peicai Secondary School (PCSS) students went on a five-day exchange trip to Hong Kong. Their highlight was a challenging 12km hike along the steep Tung-O Ancient Trail, where teamwork and resilience were essential. They also toured cramped Hong Kong housing, learning about the challenges locals face and reflecting on their own privileges in Singapore.

Overall, these overseas programmes helped students gain new perspectives, appreciate cultural differences, and develop important life skills like teamwork, empathy, and adaptability.
