Northstars Shine! - Historical Scene Investigation Challenge 2020 – Bronze Award

A team of Secondary 2 History students took part in the Historical Scene Investigation (HSI) Challenge 2020 organised by the National Library Board (NLB) in August this year. The theme was on Public Health: What public health-related incident or movement did Singapore experience in the period from 1900 to 2000? Compare and contrast the challenges faced and the ways they were overcome by the people in the past to the present day. The students were expected to present their conclusion to the inquiry using an A1 poster, with focus on one public-health related incident or movement Singapore had experienced and overcome. In the process, the students had to comb through National Archives for old sources on their research on Spanish Flu, and explored a wide range of sources for their research on the Covid-19 pandemic. The Humanities Department is pleased to inform that the team has been awarded the BRONZE AWARD for this challenge.

Congratulations Northstars and our appreciation to their History teachers, Miss Ong Lay Ching, who have guided them!
