In my interaction with our students, many have asked me: when can we resume school activities?
Indeed, a holistic school experience goes beyond the classrooms. When we look back at our schooling years, the most treasured memories are those with our friends. Notwithstanding the disruptions from
#COVID19, our students need supportive social networks that they can lean on – and these can only be formed through time spent with their peers.
To support the long-term well-being of our students,
Ministry of Education, Singapore will progressively resume more school activities, such as school assemblies, cohort activities, CCAs and team sports activities, for our students above 12 years of age.

Adjusting to the challenges of the pandemic requires a careful balance between promoting the long-term well-being of our students and mitigating the current risks. In making the decision to resume more activities, we considered the fact that our student population above the age of 12 in schools and IHLs have high vaccination rates. Additional precautionary measures will also be in place, such as subjecting sports players for the pilot to a supervised self-administered antigen rapid test (ART) prior to participation.
As we learn to live with endemic COVID-19, parents can support the efforts of schools by encouraging your children to continue practising good personal hygiene, adhere to SMMs and exercise social responsibility. Let us come together as a community to keep our students safe.
