The Program

The SBS freshmen orientation programme aims to welcome the incoming class of students to the SBS family and present an opportunity for each freshman to get to know one another, SBS and NTU before the academic year begins.

Freshmen will be assigned randomly to one of the eight orientation groups, guided by their respective Main Group Leader (MGL), Group Leaders (GL), and seniors, over a four-day program.

The activities and games lined up are planned with freshmen in mind so they can enjoy themselves and forge new relationships. We hope to see you around!
