Discover the courts

SG Courts collaborated with the Ministry of Education to conduct the Issues-Based Seminar for upper secondary social studies teachers. Representatives from 22 schools explored the significant role of the Singapore Courts within society, gaining valuable insights into its functions and interactions with the executive and legislative branches of government. This understanding is crucial for educators as they endeavour to cultivate a nuanced understanding of governance structures and processes among their students.

During the seminar, SG Courts provided an overview of their key priorities and programmes, focusing on strategic communications, outreach and engagement efforts, and responsibilities in ensuring access to justice. To deepen participants' understanding of the courts' societal role, the teachers were also guided through a visit to the Heritage Gallery and a courtroom. This comprehensive approach aimed to enhance educators' knowledge and appreciation of the judiciary's integral role in Singapore’s society.

The A Day in Court student seminar is a half-day event organised specially for Secondary 3 school students every year, to introduce them to the role of the courts and the justice system. 2024, saw 178 students from 24 secondary schools participate in the seminar which focused on the topic of harassment, with emphasis on cyberbullying. Students engaged in character-building activities, participated in a guided courtroom tour, and had the opportunity to interact with district judges through a fireside chat.
