It is undeniable that my time in CTSS played a crucial role in awakening my passion for theatre and confidence for public speaking. It allowed me to fulfil my dream of directing a theatre production and now, to practise law. It was a safe environment for which I was inspired and encouraged by my teachers who capitalised on my strengths to provide me ample opportunities to develop and grow.

Liew Zhi Hao (Class of 2010)

My positive experience in CTSS was, in retrospect, taught by a very amazing team of teachers who put my character development before my accomplishment in the academic subjects. They shaped me to be the person I am, to learn how to fight my battles and not have them fight those battles for me.

Wilson Huang (Class of 2009)

Clementi Town Secondary School gave me more than just an education. I met my best friends and the best teachers there. Despite having graduated 7 years ago and having met plenty of incredible people, I always look back and thank CTSS. I was loved and nurtured by my teachers who believed in me, guided and gave me the opportunities. I grew up with my friends who encouraged me to pursue my dreams and told me I could do it. I have all these people to thank for supporting me all the way.

Beverly Wan (Class of 2013)

During my time in CTSS, it was the time where technology and mindsets were transiting from “2G” to “3G”. It wasn’t so much of “Teacher say what” anymore, and classes were beginning to be conducted in computer labs. I’m really appreciative and thankful for the efforts that the school has put in for the students, always preparing the teaching and non-teaching staff with the latest and relevant skillsets so as to ensure the students are provided with the best.

New Weisheng (Class of 2001)

As a Sec 1 student, I find the atmosphere and environment in CTSS very warm and welcoming. The CCA-House experience is very interesting and innovative where we belong to form classes based on CCAs. This allows me to interact better with my seniors and “house-mates” from different levels. My teachers and seniors have been very approachable and encouraging and I enjoy spending my time in school. In addition, with the full SBB programme, I am able to learn and work together with my classmates from different streams and that stimulates my confidence to excel in my studies.

Ethan Pang Jun Xi (1S6, 2020)

When we found out that Clementi Town Secondary School will be one of the 28 secondary schools to pilot Full Subject-Based Banding from Year 2020, it further affirmed our decision that CTSS will be an ideal environment for my son, Ethan to learn and grow. With CTSS’s unique CCA-House Experience, the teachers and seniors from his wushu CCA played a huge role in supporting him to adapt and adjust to life in CTSS

When Singapore was hit by Covid-19 and all school children had to switch to Home-Based Learning, the transition of having lessons from classroom to home was seamless and the teachers have gone the extra mile to check on Ethan’s overall well-being as well as ensuring he was keeping up well with his work. The excellent support and encouragement from his teachers have enabled Ethan to make good progress in his studies and build confidence on his weaker subjects.

Being a Sec 1 parent, I am impressed by how CTSS actively engages the Parent Support Group and have built a very cohesive bond as partners-in-education.

Connie Lee (Mother of Ethan Pang Jun Xi)

CTSS has helped me nurture my love for studying as the teachers are caring and helpful. The level of engagement and commitment displayed by them are exemplary. Beyond the academic subjects, all the opportunities that I was given have provided me with an insight to the working world and the platform to demonstrate leadership and resilience. I am proud to be a Clementeen and the memories I have in CTSS will always hold a special place in my heart.

Davina Chin Xiang Ling (4A2, 2020)

In her four years with CTSS, we see our daughter blossom into a young lady with leadership skills, and displaying strengths such as adaptability and resourcefulness as she journeyed together with her peers. We thank the school and her teachers for recognising her abilities and potential. Like us, they believe in her and nurture her. The multi-racial environment of CTSS also serves as an important platform for students to develop social awareness and graciousness, with the school and students actively contributing their efforts to benefit the community. We are confident that when she looks back at her secondary school years, she will have many fond and wonderful memories and values that will stay with her for life.
