Discover the enduring legacy of Singapore's educational history on a captivating journey through the Bras Basah.Bugis Precinct.

School buildings have been cultural landmarks, witnessing the city's evolution. Though many schools were relocated for modern development, their stories remain.

Today, these architectural gems stand as proud monuments to our past, each repurposed to tell its unique tale.

Wander through iconic structures like the Singapore Management University, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, St. Joseph’s Institution, and the former site of Singapore Chinese Girls' School.

Learn about the history and spirit of these landmarks that have nurtured generations.

Special promo for families: 2 children (up to 12 years old) can attend for free with 2 accompanying parents/adults.

The event starts with a storytelling workshop where you'll learn a powerful framework to capture intention and narrative. Discover how to infuse your story with elements of anticipation and excitement to keep it moving. Plus, we'll explore different frames and techniques for taking captivating photos and videos.

Thereafter, we will proceed on a discovery walk to visit and explore the history and heritage of several old school buildings in the Bras Basah.Bugis precinct.

We will end the event at a 57-year old Guild House for lunch where a representative is available to share about history, and heritage of the Guild.
