International Science Drama Competition (ISDC) 2026 Singapore Finals

Fifteen of our pupils proudly represented the school at the International Science Drama Competition (ISDC) 2026 Singapore Finals on Sat 25 Apr. ISDC is an annual platform that brings science to life through the performing arts, challenging students to communicate complex ideas with clarity and creativity. This year’s theme, “AI See the Future”, invited participants to explore the principles, possibilities, and limitations of Artificial Intelligence, while reflecting on its impact on society. Through a compelling and thought-provoking performance titled “Granny.exe: The Butter Byte”, our team demonstrated both scientific understanding and theatrical excellence and emerged as champions in the Junior Category. They have earned the honour of representing Singapore at the 2026 ISDC Grand Finals (Junior Category) in Beijing, China, where they will compete against top teams from participating countries!

Here are the pupils and their roles:

17th GoodTalk (Global Village) International Children & Youth Bilingual Speech Conference (Preliminary Competition)
第17届 GoodTalk (地球村) 国际青少年双语演讲大会 (初赛）

The conference aims to provide an opportunity for pupil participants from Singapore and China to enhance their bilingual abilities and global competence. The topic for this year’s Preliminary Competition is “When I Meet Myself”, which encourages participants to unleash their imagination, blending reality and the future to reflect on how AI development might reshape personal life, while also expressing their understanding and vision of the human–AI relationship.

We are happy to share the results from the first round of the competition. We are very proud of every pupil who took part. All of them are winners and we are extremely proud of their hard work!
