Adaptive Thinkers. Resilient Learners. Caring Leaders

Preparing Students for a Changing World As we conclude Semester 1 of 2026, we reflect on a simple but important question: What kind of young people do we hope our students will become when they step beyond the school gates?

The world our students are entering is increasingly complex, fast-changing, interconnected, and at times unpredictable. Knowledge evolves rapidly, technology reshapes societies, and many challenges they will face have yet to emerge. Success in such a world requires more than academic achievement. It calls for young people who can think critically, adapt confidently, persevere through difficulty, and care deeply for others.

Since 2025, the school embarked on a deliberate process of reflection and re-envisioning.

Through conversations with students, staff, alumni, and stakeholders, we revisited what matters most in preparing our students not only for examinations but for life. This led to our renewed vision: Adaptive Thinkers. Resilient Learners. Caring Leaders. These are not just words, but the qualities we hope every Unitian will embody.

Page 02

Adaptive Thinkers: Learning Through Action and Innovation Adaptive thinking begins with action, learning through experience, refining through feedback, and improving along the way. We encourage students to start, experiment, and iterate rather than wait for perfect conditions.

This spirit was evident in two Young Scientist Programme teams who reached the finals of the Singapore Science and Engineering Fair.

Secondary 3 students Nguyen Cao Khanh (3A6), Teo Chee Ann Gable (3L2), and Ng Hao Ran Lucas (3A5) began with an observation that elderly users of walking aids may struggle to detect overhead obstacles. Despite early setbacks, they persisted, refined their ideas, and developed a low-cost AI and micro bit device that detects overhead hazards.

Secondary 4 students Aloysius Lee (4I8), Rifqi Riyaz Bin Kamsani (4L1), and Vibandor Caelan Elysia Gudiaga (4I8) explored sustainable mosquito control using Nepenthes plants. Through multiple iterations, including reducing glucose to prevent contamination and refining plant growth methods, they developed a simpler, cost-effective solution.

Though different in focus, both teams shared a common approach, rethinking problems, learning from failure, and adapting with purpose, growing into true adaptive thinkers.

Resilient Learners: Growing Through Challenge If adaptability shapes thinking, resilience shapes how we endure challenges. Our NCC cadets exemplified this through months of disciplined after-school training, refining their Precision Drill routines with peer and alumni support. Despite setbacks, fatigue, and repetition, they persisted. Their efforts led to a historic achievement, Champion in the Air and Sea District Precision Drill Squad Preliminary Competition 2026 and Fifth Place in the Grand Competition, the best in Unity’s history. More important than the result was their growth, moving from ninth place to fifth place, reflecting a commitment to continuous improvement. Resilience is not defined by outcomes but by the decision to keep going.

This spirit is also seen across many of our CCAs. Our Concert Band was invited for the first time to perform at the Esplanade’s Limelight Series after a year of disciplined preparation.

Our Dance, Drama and Choir students will also represent the school at Singapore’s 2026 National Day Parade. Across all platforms, our students demonstrate resilience, commitment and passion.

Page 03

Caring Leaders: Making a Difference in the Lives of Others Caring leadership is perhaps the most profound expression of our vision. It is not defined by position but by consistent acts that uplift others.

This year, three Secondary 4 students were recognised through the Singapore Silent Heroes Award 2026. Adam Franklin Bertina Veronica (4L1) showed quiet compassion by supporting a classmate through difficulties and strengthening trust as a Unity Councillor. Gajjela Harshani Reddy (4I8) demonstrated integrity and courage by standing firm in what was right while continuing to care for others as President of the Peer Support Leaders. Chow Cheng You (4L2) exemplified sustained service, regularly volunteering in the Limbang and North West communities while balancing school leadership responsibilities. He is also a recipient of the North West Outstanding All Rounder Award.

Together, they remind us that caring leadership is not about recognition but about consistent service, integrity and compassion.

Appreciation and Looking Ahead We are deeply grateful to our School Advisory Committee, Parent Support Group, parents, alumni and community partners for your continued trust, encouragement and partnership.

Your support strengthens the work we do for our students every day.

To our staff, thank you for your dedication, innovation and care for every student. Your commitment continues to shape a learning environment where our students are able to grow, thrive and shine.

As we move into Semester 2, we look ahead with a shared purpose to nurture young people who are ready not only for examinations, but for life.

At Unity, we are more than a school where students achieve. We are a community where every student grows, belongs and learns to shine.

One Unity. One Family. Together, we shine.

Future-Ready Leaders: The 16th Unity Council Presidential Election LUBECKA LILIA (3L2)

The Unity Council Presidential Election was a significant event in which five dedicated Presidential Election Candidates (PECs) competed for the honour of leading the student body.

Leadership in Action: Welcoming Our New Student Leaders The CCA Leaders (CCAL) and 16th Unity Council (UC) Appointment Ceremony marked an important milestone in Unity Secondary School’s leadership journey, reflecting our vision of nurturing Adaptive Thinkers, Resilient Learners, and Caring Leaders. The ceremony celebrated the dedication and service of our outgoing student leaders while welcoming our newly appointed Secondary 3 CCA Leaders, Unity Councillors, Unity Council Interns, and Peer Support Leaders’ President and Vice-Presidents.

Beyond recognising appointments, the ceremony reinforced that leadership is about influence, responsibility, and service. Guided by the Leadership Challenge Model, our student leaders are encouraged to lead by example, inspire others, embrace growth, work collaboratively, and uplift the school community. Through the continual guidance of teachers and peers, they continue to grow into confident and empathetic leaders who serve with resilience, care, and purpose.

Stepping Out of Comfort Zones: Secondary 2 Outdoor Adventure Learning

Our Secondary 2 students embarked on an enriching Leadership Learning Week, beginning with a 3-day, 2-night Outdoor Adventure Learning Camp at Downtown East. Through activities such as team-building games, kayaking, and orienteering, students developed resilience, teamwork, adaptability, and leadership skills while creating lasting memories.

Building on these experiences, students applied four weeks of Design Thinking to explore sustainable living by designing innovative smart recycling bins to encourage environmentally responsible habits. Through this project-based learning experience, students demonstrated creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration, growing as Adaptive Thinkers, Resilient Learners, and Caring Leaders committed to a more sustainable future.

SERVING OTHERS

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Caring Hearts, Stronger Communities As part of our commitment to nurturing compassionate and empathetic individuals, our school organised a Values in Action (VIA) Shopping Fair on 30 January for Secondary 2 to 5 students. The event provided students with a meaningful opportunity to engage with representatives from seven social service agencies and gain deeper insights into the needs of the community.

Through this structured platform, students observed, listened, and learnt about real community needs, helping them develop empathy, adaptability, and leadership. Working in their mixed-CCA form classes, students gained valuable perspectives and took an important first step towards becoming active change agents in building a more caring and inclusive society. It was indeed a meaningful Character Learning Day.

Our Secondary 1 Values-in-Action (VIA) programme focused on sustainability and reducing food wastage, helping students understand that sustainability begins with small, everyday choices.

Students from 1L1 and 1I8 explored vermicomposting in collaboration with students from National Junior College and City Sprouts, creating composting bins from recycled food waste. 1I7 learnt to upcycle orange peels into purposeful creations, promoting more sustainable festive practices. Beyond sustainability, 1A5 and 1L2 served the Yew Tee community by distributing essential groceries, reflecting on the importance of supporting those facing food insecurity and rising living costs. Through these experiences, students learnt the value of reducing, reusing, and recycling, while recognising that small actions can make a meaningful difference to the community and environment.

Ms Hamidatulamaliah shares, “Scouting has been an important part of my life for the past 20 years. What began as a journey of personal growth has evolved into a lifelong commitment to developing young people and serving alongside dedicated volunteers.

Through Scouting, I have learned resilience, adaptability, empathy, and the importance of leading by example. The most rewarding part of this journey has been witnessing young people grow in confidence, overcome challenges, and realise their potential.

I am equally grateful for the opportunity to work with committed adult leaders whose support, friendship, and shared purpose continue to inspire me.

Receiving the Distinguished Service Award is a humbling honour. I accept it not as an individual achievement, but as a reflection of the many Scouts, leaders, mentors, and supporters who have shaped my journey.
