Other Learning Experience
6 teachers have completed the course on the Curriculum Leadership and Management Series for NSS - OLE & SLP.

Implementation of Life-wide Learning Programmes 

Life-wide learning programmes have been effectively implemented at junior levels in preparation for the Other Learning Experience in the NSS curriculum.  Project-based learning is effectively incorporated into S1 and S3 curriculum so that students will be well-equipped for the future Independent Enquiry Studies.  Service learning which aims at developing students' positive values and empathy is implemented in S2 curriculum.
 
Implementation of e-Folio system
 
An e-Folio system which helps to keep record of essential learning experiences is implemented in S1, S2 and S3.
