Secondary 2 Cultural Immersion Programme to Johore and Malacca

The month of May was awaited with much anticipation and excitement by our Secondary Two students. For most of the cohort, it marked the first ever cross-border trip they would have with their teachers and classmates. The 2 Days and 1 Night cultural immersion trip to Johore and Malacca, provided the students with plenty of opportunities to learn about the historical background as well as cultural and agricultural practices of Johore and Malacca. During the trip, the students were given the chance to have close interactions with students from a partner school where they participated in cultural activities. This allowed students from both sides to understand and appreciate the cultural differences and diversity between Singapore and the Malaysian school curriculum and programmes.

During the trip, our students also visited a Johore farm (UK Farm) to understand modern agricultural practices and better appreciate how our food products are produced in the farm. In Malacca, students visited key cultural sites such as A’Famosa, Dutch Square as well as a Baba and Nonya museum to understand the historical and cultural evolution of Malacca, making their Secondary One History lessons come alive. It was definitely an unforgettable experience for our Secondary Two students.
