ROAR Awards
The ROAR Awards recognise student-athletes who embody the school values through their actions and character. From supporting juniors and serving the community to leading on the international stage and overcoming setbacks, these recipients showed that success is measured not only by achievements, but also by the positive impact they have on others.
Track and Field student-athlete Chalene Tan demonstrated leadership through quiet consistency. Every Monday during Supervised Study Time, she helped a Secondary One junior with Mathematics, showing patience, responsibility and care. Her commitment to supporting others while balancing her own academic and sporting demands reflected the qualities of a thoughtful student leader.
Footballers Evaan Shafiee, Mohamed Darien Rizqin and Muhammad Qushairy stepped up during Sustainability Week by delivering an assembly presentation. Despite initial nerves, they spent two weeks preparing their slides and script while improving their public speaking skills. Evaan also took the initiative to refine parts of the presentation. Their willingness to step out of their comfort zones reflected responsibility and perseverance.
Jack White was recognised for his care and quick thinking when he noticed a teammate feeling unwell after training. Acting promptly to ensure his teammate received help, Jack demonstrated empathy, awareness and responsibility.
At Open House 2026, Wushu student-athlete Chua Xin Yun showed maturity and service. Despite returning from three weeks of overseas competition and catching up on schoolwork, he volunteered at the Student Development booth and later took on an additional performance role. He shared his experiences warmly with parents and prospective students, including Mandarin-speaking families, helping them feel welcomed and assured.
Sailor John Wong and tracker Jayden Ng also represented the school well at the IBDP booth. John shared his transition from ACS(I) to SSP and how it benefited his growth, while Jayden spoke about pursuing the extended IBDP and the support he received from teachers and coaches. Their sincerity and professionalism helped visitors better understand the programme.
Jayden was also recognised alongside golfer Chloe Ng for a Creativity, Activity, Service project that showed appreciation for renovation workers at SSP. Through fundraising and the distribution of snack packs, they expressed gratitude to workers whose contributions often go unnoticed. The project reflected empathy, teamwork and service.
Water polo player Matthias Goh Zoltin was honoured for his leadership as captain of the Singapore U18 Boys’ Water Polo team. He guided the team to a historic Asian U18 Championships victory, including three wins over China. In and out of the pool, Matthias demonstrated composure, resilience and dependability, earning the respect of teammates and staff alike.
The ROAR Resilience Awardees showed how setbacks can become opportunities for growth. Samuel Lee rebounded from a disappointing 2025 National School Games campaign affected by illness and a false start. Returning stronger in 2026, he won Gold in the 100m and 200m with personal bests and helped his relay team secure Silver.
Tracker Joseph Kwok displayed remarkable determination during the National School Games 800m final. After falling at the start and sustaining injuries, he got back up and completed the race. His perseverance and sportsmanship embodied the true spirit of competition.
For tracker Muhammad Reza, resilience was built over years of overcoming injuries and physical challenges following a growth spurt. Despite setbacks, he remained committed to training and was rewarded with Gold in Long Jump, Silver in Triple Jump, and strong relay performances at this year’s National School Games.
Mohammed Thamir also showed drive, resilience and determination in his journey as a track and field student-athlete. After overcoming a health condition discovered during his pre-admission screening, he continued training independently and earned mid-stream admission following a strong 2024 National School Games performance. A hamstring injury kept him out in 2025, but Thamir remained patient and focused on returning stronger. His perseverance paid off this year with a double-podium finish in the 200m and 400m. His resilience shone brightest in the ‘B’ Division 4x400m Relay Finals, where he chased down the leaders and overtook his opponent at the finish line, securing victory by just 0.09 seconds. His journey reflects courage, discipline and the hunger to keep going.
Together, these ROAR Award recipients remind us that character is shaped through everyday actions. Whether supporting others, serving the community, leading by example or overcoming adversity, they have shown what it means to represent the school with pride, responsibility and heart.
