Patron's Day celebrates SMU's birthday. Our patron President S R Nathan graces the occasion, and is treated to an energetic array of games and performances organised by our students. We also present awards to those who excel in their CCA activities.

Waikiki is an annual beach event comprising sporting activities, performances and games to promote interaction and build strong bonds within the SMU community. The event is normally held in Sentosa during the term break so that students, staff and faculty can enjoy and chill out after the exams. Students from the polytechnics and junior colleges will also be invited to join in the fun. Waikiki promises an adrenaline rush - come rain or shine.

The Freshmen Team-Building Camp will be conducted in three runs this year and will emphasise the SMU CIRCLE values of Commitment, Integrity, Responsibility, Collegiality, Leadership and Excellence. It is a 3-day, 2-night camp which will leave you with a wealth of experience and lots of new friends. These newly formed friendships will lay the foundation to begin creating wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
