Sec 1G3 Regentstorians ACM Visit

Regentstorians Explore the Asian Civilisations Museum

On July 16th, the Secondary 1 Regentstorians embarked on a meaningful learning journey to the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM), located in the heart of Singapore’s civic district. This visit, part of the school’s efforts to extend classroom learning beyond school walls, was more than just a museum tour. It was an enriching experience that deepened students’ understanding of Singapore’s diverse cultural roots and the broader Asian heritage that shapes our society today.

The highlight was the chance to be guided by trained student docents from Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS). Confident and articulate, these docents brought the exhibits to life through engaging presentations and well-researched stories. Students learned about ancient trade routes, religious artefacts, and the influences of various civilisations on the region’s development.

Listening to their peers from another school inspired our students to see the value of student-led learning. It showed them the impact of taking ownership of knowledge and the confidence that comes with sharing it with others.

For Secondary 1 student Praveen Nair Prathana, the visit was particularly memorable. He reflected, “I really enjoyed the visit to the Asian Civilisations Museum! Seeing the ancient artefacts up close and listening to the student docents made history feel real and alive.”

The visit not only broadened their understanding of Asia’s civilisations but also encouraged them to reflect on their own role in preserving Singapore’s multicultural identity. Walking through the museum’s halls, they were reminded that history connects us all and that sometimes, the best teachers are fellow students.
