Being the proud organizer of the Young Illustrator Awards, Siglap Secondary School aims to develop the artistic talents of all Siglapians and provide them with an extra-ordinary Art experience. In Siglap, students get to learn a wide variety of exciting art forms. These include contemporary art mediums such as digital imaging and comic illustrations, as well as traditional art crafts like copper tooling, pyrography and Tie & Dye.

Besides the formal art curriculum, many students also get the opportunity to embark on overseas trips with an Art focus. For examples, students get the chance to experience pottery making inan authentic dragon kiln, learn how to do traditional batik painting in batik factories and visit cultural centers in Bali and Malaysia. Such overseas trips are often planned to incorporate a high element of community service in mind so that our students will also get the chance to contribute to the local community and experience first-hand Value-In-Action.

We also have a vibrant Art and Anime club where students are empowered to plan their own artistic activities, such as taking part in external competitions and Arts festivals. In fact, every Siglapian is the proud owner of a unique ‘Bash This Diary’ sketchbook where they are encouraged to record their drawings and journals. We even have our copyrighted ‘Singapore Art @ MRT Trail” where students get to learn about Singapore Art and Art History on-site at various MRT stations guided by an iPad App.

In addition to the above, we also have a dedicated Siglap Art Gallery where we display outstanding art works by Siglapians as well as by students from other schools. Currently, the Siglap Art Gallery is hosting the East Zone 'Tangled in Distortion' Art Exhibition 2012 from 16 May to 13 July 2012.

Teachers, students and parents who are interested to visit this exhibition or learn more about the Art programmes in Siglap can contact Mr Muhammad Mazlan (SH/Aesthetics) via email: mazlan_b_muhammad@moe.edu.sg to arrange a visit.

Our History
Siglap Secondary School is the first co-educational secondary school in Singapore. Founded in 1955, the school marked the attendance of its first cohort of pupils on 10th January 1955. It was declared open in March the same year by the then Director of Education, Mr. R. M. Young.

The school colours, sky blue and sea green were later chosen as they reflected the natural ambience of the school. From the school which stood on Cheviot Hill, one could get an uninterrupted view of the sea and sky before the east coast reclaimation.

The school badge was designed by Mr. Francis Baruch, an Art Master in the school and the school motto was coined by the then Principal Mr. Wee Seong Kang.
