2 ICT Matters
Find out about the ICT tools and platforms your child will use at SST, and what you need to know as a parent.
2.1 Sec 1 ICT Pre-School Engagement
We have curated some informative technology videos and activities to prepare students for the upcoming technology lessons at SST. We encourage all students to watch these videos and register for the “Today at Apple” workshops at their own pace to familiarise themselves with the technology that is used in SST.
Please access the package here. (LINK)
2.2 Email Account
All SST students are assigned an official email account for communication and access to learning resources during their study. The official email account will be used for all correspondence between the school and students.
The login information (ID and Password) will be emailed to parents once available.
2.3 Students’ Blog
The students’ blog serves as a platform to communicate announcements and general information to students.
URL: http://studentsblog.sst.edu.sg/
Students may refer to the blog regularly to keep abreast of school updates. In addition, students can also download the app “SST Announcer” on their mobile phones. The app enables updates to be pushed to the users.

2.6 Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
The AUP is intended to prescribe effective, ethical and lawful use of ICT resources by students and ensure a conducive and safe virtual environment in our learning community. This policy applies to the use of the ICT resources owned and managed by SST, as well as those brought in for use by students in SST. All students are to comply with this policy.
Students and parents will be briefed about the terms of AUP during the Secondary 1 Orientation and Parent Engagement Session, respectively. Parents are encouraged to go through the AUP with the students before accepting the AUP in electronic form.
