Programmes

Mathematics is All Around Us

Wooden shelf with eggs on top, Jacob's Weetameal boxes, Hello Panda snacks, and other packaged foods.

Students learn to see that mathematics is all around them - in the classroom, within the school, at home, while doing activities with their family and in and out of school context (e.g., at the supermarket)

Math Week

Math Week is an interdisciplinary experience which allows our students to see mathematics in authentic settings across other subjects. Through the engaging activities, we relate mathematics to things happening in their everyday life.

Financial Literacy
Our financial literacy programme hopes to inculcate in students sound knowledge of managing money. We encourage our students to think critically, creatively and innovatively. We also hope to develop our students to be creative problem-solvers and to have an entrepreneurial mindset.
