Igniting the passion for knowledge

More importantly, these meaningful learning opportunities allow students to apply their skills and knowledge and to discover more. To cater for diverse learning needs, after-school academic support such as homework tutorials and enhancement classes for different subjects are provided.

STREAM education

With reading being the foundation, the school-based STREAM education puts emphasis on developing students’ self-learning attitude, creative thinking and problem-solving abilities, in which students integrate knowledge of different domains through learning in a cross-disciplinary mode. Apart from taking part in the after-class STEM activities, S1 – S3 students are tasked with collaborative projects such as making 4WD cars, musical instruments and holographic animation in their formal curriculums. Our students have actively participated in various STEM-related competitions to demonstrate their innovative minds and problem-solving skills, in which they have achieved outstanding results and become more interested in the STEM discipline and the recent trends of technological development.

Sports and Arts

Recognizing the importance of sports in one’s personal growth and wellbeing, we encourage our students to take up sports in their spare time. Students can choose from Basketball Team to Cricket Team, Swimming Team to Track and Field Team, etc. Similarly, we actively foster the appreciation of arts and creativity through engaging students in different aspects of arts such as visual arts, performing arts and music.
