QUEST Global

Internationalisation Programme (QUEST Global)

The Quest to provide authentic experiences that help students understand how communities learn, collaborate, and thrive across different contexts. Through overseas trips and hosting partner schools, Queenstownians engage in collaboration, cultural exchanges and hands-on learning that build adaptability, civic literacy and a deeper appreciation of Singapore’s place in a connected world.

In 2024, we embarked on two QUEST Global trips: In Vietnam, Queenstownians took part in cultural exchanges and volunteered at an orphanage that supports adults and children affected by the legacy of Agent Orange. In Thailand, another group of Queenstownians explored the country’s rich traditions and bonded with local peers through friendly volleyball matches. These interactions offered powerful lessons in empathy, diversity and global citizenship.

In 2025, the programme expanded with another two QUEST Global trips: Applied Learning Programme learning experiences in Japan, and a cultural exchange and Service Learning journey to Indonesia. Looking ahead to 2026, students will have further opportunities to deepen their global understanding through an upcoming learning journey to China. Each experience strengthens their confidence and curiosity while grounding them in a clear sense of identity and responsibility as future contributors to Singapore’s continued success.
