The ensemble was set up with the help of Ms Tan Ee Sin in 1997. It was known as the Chamber Ensemble then with a membership of 10. Today, however, we are 65 strong and have many more experienced instrumentalists. Throughout the academic year, the Orchestra is featured at lunchtime concerts, orientation concerts and teacher's day celebrations. We were invited to perform at Inter-school COLOURS Awards and have performed in various school concerts such as Jubilate II, III, IV as well as Fluid Fusion. Our other performances include performing for the 7th Asia Pacific Life Congress at the Singapore Expo, Civil Service College Course at Raffles City as well as an exchange programme in 2005 in Hong Kong with St Paul's Co-educational College. The SNSO also constantly renders its service to Dover Park Hospice and other organisations. For the past 3 Singapore Youth Festival Central Judgings the SNSO has attained the Gold award as well as a Gold with Honours award in 2007. Recently, we have obtained a Gold award in the Singapore Youth Festival Central Judgings 2009. We are currently under the baton of Mr. Chan Wei Shing, a cellist with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Mr. Mervyn Goh.
