Primary Program (Year 1 to 6)
The aim of our Primary Program is to intellectually stimulate and personally support each student in developing a lifelong love of learning. Our curriculum has depth and breadth that reflect the complexities of today’s world. We prioritise flexibility to cater to the unique needs of each individual. The Primary Years build solid foundations for future learning with an emphasis on mastery of essential skills of literacy, numeracy, and scientific knowledge. Additionally, there is an emphasis on developing cultural understanding, problem-solving and personal and interpersonal skills. Particular interest is dedicated to fostering high standards in literacy and numeracy, thereby establishing skills essential for success in all areas of learning.
Our students are immersed in the opportunity to master three languages, with language learning integrated into a comprehensive core curriculum that encourages personal excellence. The English, Mandarin, and Thai language curricula, recognized for their depth and breadth, aim to cultivate proficient speaking, reading, and writing skills in our primary students. Through an innovative approach, our language curriculum sparks imaginative and critical engagement with literature, broadening students' experiences. This globally acknowledged program, aligned with Australian Curriculum standards, provides an inquiry-led, engaging, dynamic, and challenging learning experience. As students progressively take responsibility for their learning, they develop attributes crucial for success in secondary school. Collaboratively, we harness and expand our students' potential, offering opportunities for collaborative projects and presentations that extend their horizons beyond the classroom.
The primary curriculum serves as the bedrock for our students' proficiency in mathematics and the sciences. Aligned with Singapore's mathematics and science curricula, we acknowledge the paramount importance of a robust grasp of numeracy and scientific principles. Our curriculum is meticulously designed to facilitate the acquisition of these foundational skills in every student. Engaging hands-on mathematics manipulatives, games, and laboratory experiments are integral to our well-balanced curriculum, enhancing the overall learning experience.
Critical and creative thinking are seamlessly woven into English, mathematics, science, studies of society and environment, and technology. Further enriching these subjects, discussions are extended to bolster students' critical and creative abilities. Values education is a cornerstone of our primary program, embodying our mission statement and instilling Christian values such as courtesy, honesty, consideration, cooperation, and acceptance of others.
