About Us
SoA Outreach comprises a core pool of exemplary SOA students who support the school in reaching out to prospective students and various external stakeholders. Prospective students refer to students from Junior Colleges, Polytechnics, International Baccalaureate and other institutions. The club aims to establish an inclusive community that builds on the personal development of SOA students through various outreach programmes.
In order to bridge the gap between SOA and prospective students, SoA Outreach strives to develop SOA students as leaders and confident speakers who are capable of advising prospective students about life as a SOA undergraduate. Interested students are invited to serve in the capacity of an executive committee or an associate.

The club emphasises the importance of connecting with former juniors from our students’ alma mater through various events targeted towards prospective students as listed below:
