💛 SEN Support
Appropriate learning support and encouragement will be given to students who are weaker in academics. A support group is set up in each grade to cater for students' needs. According to students' learning ability and needs, students with special needs will be transferred to our specialist for further assessment (assistance for reading and writing difficulties, as well as intelligence assessments etc). Teachers will then modify the teaching, learning, and assessment to cater to their individual needs.
🎨 Whole-person Learning
Our school organizes a diverse range of activities, including Christmas celebrations, Traditional Chinese Day, The Community Chest Dress Casual Day , Healthy Sports Day, Swimming Gala, Excursion Learning Day, Cultural Immersion Trip Day for Senior Primary Students, Parent-Child Day Trip for Junior Primary Students, and the "GT Got Talent" activity, all designed to enrich students' learning experiences.
