Programme for Active Learning (PAL)
PAL seeks to nurture the
whole child and broaden the primary school foundation with more emphasis on
non-academic programmes for all Primary 1 and 2 students. The various
activities in the programme aim to develop students in the 3Cs: Curiosity,
Confidence and Cooperation.
There are 4 modules in
PAL, namely: Sports & Games, Outdoor Education, Visual Arts and Performing
Arts. Three periods are set aside each week where students are exposed to broad
learning experiences in these 4 modules. PAL is experiential in nature and
incorporates learning in a creative, fun and enjoyable way.
The packages for the
various modules are customised according to the needs and profile of our
students. Applying the learner-centred approach to impart social-emotional
skills within the context of the four domains, this school-based curriculum
provides a wide range of learning experiences for students through a variety of
pedagogical strategies such as cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning and
reflective learning. Opportunities are also created for students to apply the
attitudes, skills and knowledge acquired during the lessons. The school hopes
that students will discover their interests and develop their talents through
these exposures.
Over two years, students will participate in 8 modules conducted by our teachers as illustrated in the table below.
