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.

AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES TO ESTABLISH CONNECTIONS

LANGUAGE IS NOT A PROBLEM WHEN WE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC

SPONTANEOUS INTERACTION THROUGH GAMES

Overseas learning experiences are enjoyable and meaningful as they enhance our students' inter-cultural communication skills through interaction and play.

Visits to cultural and historical sites during overseas learning journeys bring real life context to what is learnt in a textbook.

Our students appreciate and deepen their understanding of art, science, history and culture through multi-sensory activities and meaningful tasks in authentic settings.

SHARING ABOUT SINGAPORE WITH ENTHUSIASM

In November 2019, Secondary Two students embarked on a cultural trip to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. The trip aimed to provide an authentic experience of local culture so students could appreciate the differences between the two cultures and become self-confident and caring global citizens. They also developed their communication, critical thinking and collaborative skills.

The group visited historical sites that shed light on Vietnam’s past. They had a fun and enriching school exchange where they bonded well with their peers.

At the farm visit, our students learned about medicinal benefits of plants. The students also participated in a cooking challenge, using the ingredients picked freshly from the farm.

The visit to Cu-Chi Tunnels was one of the highlights of the trip. Our students learned how the Vietnamese outsmarted their enemies by coming up with ingenious ideas to fight them.

AESTHETICS ACROSS BORDERS

In November 2019, our Secondary Two and three students embarked on a 5D4N cultural trip to Taipei, Taiwan. The trip aimed to provide authentic local experiences to experience the vibrant art scenes of Taipei.

They visited the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, the first museum in Taiwan that was built exclusively for contemporary art exhibitions. It featured an incredible twentieth-century art collection that drew in crowds from all over the region.

PAPER EXPERIENCES

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!
