Throwback to the heritage excursion our O Level students embarked on recently.  They visited several cultural landmarks like Kampong Glam, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and many more. This eye-opening journey was especially impactful for our international students, who were deeply impressed by Singapore’s unique heritage.  

At Kampong Glam, a place known for its rich Malay heritage and vibrant street life, they were brought on a tour around the mosques to learn more about Islam and the Muslim culture. They also took a gander at the shops around the area where traditional items like batik cloth, snacks, and other household items were found. 

Over at the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, our students were offered an immersive experience into Buddhist traditions and architecture. They got to learn about the history of the temple, how it got its name, and much more. A few of our students also took this opportunity to offer up a few words of prayer for good fortune.  

Through this excursion, we aimed for students to appreciate other cultures and their walks of life. It was certainly an enriching trip that not only broadened their understanding of Singapore’s cultural tapestry but also significantly boosted their learning experience here in DIMENSIONS.
