Student Life

Through the Student News Program for our Grade 5 and 6 students, they are developing essential skills in digital media, creativity, and critical thinking while building communication skills and showcasing the diverse perspectives and talents within our school. They have the opportunity to take on the roles of reporters, storytellers, news anchors, and many others, delivering engaging and high-quality news segments each week.

Positive parenting is about creating healthy relationships between parents and children and it involves different acts of parenting - caring, leading, teaching, communicating, and providing for the needs of a child consistently so as to enable a child to fully develop and flourish.

Reading is so powerful and opens up doors we never even imagined existed. Every child has a beautiful brain and a mind of their own; encourage them to use it!

Learning at this stage should be explorational in nature. If students in Primary school are not allowed to ‘fail’ in their learning, then when can they fail?

To me, keeping the spark that kindles deep interest and real engagement with learning is most important in raising a child.

So how do I teach numeracy differently? Dare I say… I teach it with the forbidden ‘F’ word in mind: I want my students to have fun.

In a forest school program, students will go out in nature at least once a week and participate in a range of activities from across the primary school curriculum. Any subject can be taught outdoors!

Their learning is observable, tangible, and relevant to their everyday life because we all learn best through context, stories, and doing.

Children learn a language not by following explicit instructions, but by having long immersion in the target language.
