Boundless Learning Opportunities
We recognise the importance of preparing Tampinesians for an increasingly globalised world. Hence, overseas trips are organised to provide an authentic setting for students to broaden their experiences, and develop cross-cultural communicative and collaborative skills as they interact with people of diverse cultures.
Because of Covid-19, TPSS is not able to organise any trip since and the following are fond memories that we cherish.

From making, cutting to printing, students learned that the Taiwanese were very fond of paper. They visited a museum dedicated to the memory of Su Ho Chen, the founder of Chang Chuen Cotton Paper, whose dream was to establish a museum devoted only to paper.
LOCAL SCHOOL IMMERSION
Our students experienced what school life was like in Taiwan. They interacted with local students and enjoyed the once in a lifetime experience. It was one of the highlights of the whole trip!
