Collaboration with other schools

We will most likely be having our Annual Camp in November 2008. As mentioned earlier, we will use the resources e.g. campcraft equipment at Changkat Changi SS and participate in the activities there in the daytime. Further notice will be given when the camp dates and time are confirmed.

St Patrick SS will be hosting a swearing-in ceremony in a few months' time. It is most likely that we will be invited. You have to find out the latest news from our CCA blog!
