Start Small Dream Big (SSDB) President's Challenge
Every year our Kindergarten 1 and 2 students will embark on their Start Small Dream Big (SSDB) project. This project extends their learning and promotes character building by instilling values and the spirit of giving.
We encourage our students to join activities or events to help them feel connected to the community or show care and compassion towards people around them and nature. Some of these activities involve parents' participation to help support their child's efforts in giving back to the community and environment.
School Events
Over the course of the year, our school will host a series of celebrations and events. Students, teachers and sometimes parents will come together to commemorate various festivals and special occasions, fostering an understanding of diverse cultures. These gatherings aim to instill values of love and care for people around us and the planet, all while creating enjoyable and lasting memories.

Physical Activity
Ensuring your child's healthy growth involves encouraging them to be physically active, fostering the development and maintenance of a healthy body and mind. It's crucial that, at their age, exercises are enjoyable!
Our Physical Activity lessons center on enhancing your child's gross motor skills, fitness, and stamina, all while they have fun with their friends!
Educational Visits
Incorporated into the curriculum, educational visits play a vital role in our approach. Students engage in hands-on learning through site visits to various places such as zoo, aquarium, art and science museums, fire stations, and more. Outdoor trips are scheduled throughout the year, predominantly in June.
We believe in learning beyond the classroom. Acquiring knowledge through firsthand experiences, observation, and documentation during educational visits will improve both their understanding and learning skills.
June Holiday Programmes
Every June we have an array of fun, exciting and engaging activities planned for your child to learn outside of school. Our June Holiday programme include educational visits and workshops conducted in school. These activities will maximise your child's learning and allow more outdoor playtime opportunities.

The Kindergarten 2 graduates will participate in their graduation ceremony, which will be followed by performances showcasing dances and enrichment programs from Playgroup to Kindergarten 2 classes.
