On 25 Apr 2025, our students participated in the Young Defence Scientists Programme (YDSP) Congress, an annual event organised by the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) to celebrate student achievements in science and technology. This year's congress was a proud moment for our school as several of our students were recognised for their outstanding performance and potential in STEM.
