Unique Journeys

By The German Section Student Leaders Regional Meeting of the Student Representatives in Singapore The executive team of the German Section Student Leaders made a trip over to Singapore. From the 15th - 18th November, students: Noelle, Felix, Anna and Che Kai, spent their time at school in the ‘Lion City’. This was made possible by the German Government, with the aim of enabling stu dent representatives from the region to get to know each other better. Delegations from Beijing, Singapore and Taipei met to exchange ideas and best practices. On our first day, we woke up at 4am to board our flight to Singapore. Upon arrival, we immediately started to ex change ideas with our counterparts. We did this by eating a Singaporean delicacy, the chilli crab. Benedikt and Tayo from the German European School Singapore (GESS) told us about their experiences, which gave us a good insight into school life there. Once all the delegations finally met up, we started our first day with a visit to Singapore’s most iconic landmark: Mari na Bay Sands, followed by the famous Gardens by the Bay. Guided by the Singapore Student Council, we walked from one hotspot to the next. After an intense day of sightseeing in Singapore’s Civic District and main business district, we all gathered at Lau Pa Sat, a historic hawker centre, for lunch. We began to share our different experiences.
