Hi, Children

Hope you are having a good holiday!

Please also make good use of the time to revise your work and catch up on your weak areas.

Some photos to share with you:

Synthetic Turf

Outdoor Fitness Playground

I'm very sure you are all very excited about the new school! I must say, we are very lucky to be one of the very few schools in Singapore to enjoy all the new facilities all at one time.

To quote from MOE Media Release,
"To support holistic education and the use of engaging teaching methods in schools, MOE will provide all primary schools with additional facilities. MOE will also accelerate the roll-out of the Indoor Sports Halls (ISH) and scale up the implementation of the synthetic turf programme in schools. Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen, who announced these today, explained that these facilities are critical in enabling schools to deliver quality programmes to their students."

Here's some description on what facilities we have:

• Redesigned Classroom
• To support collaborative and independent learning, our classrooms will be redesigned as a 'home base' and equipped with a rich array of learning resources (especially for the lower primary). Each classroom comes with a basin - that means you dont have to waste time to go to the toilet to wash your thermometer. This also means that we will learn and study in a more hygienic  environment.

• Band Room, Dance Studio, Performing Arts Studio
• MOE will resource primary schools with a range of performing arts and sports facilities to facilitate the delivery of Programme for Active Learning (PAL). 
• Fully air-conditioned, parquet flooring!

• Media Resource Library 
• In the MRL, flexible furniture and equipment will be utilised such that these can be moved aside when it needs to function as a Performing Arts Studio.

• Indoor Sports Hall
• The ISH is an all-weather sports hall that can accommodate a basketball court superimposed with four badminton courts, a volleyball court and a netball court.

• Outdoor Running Track
• We have a running track and this means we can conduct our runs in a more effective manner. 
• Also, running on soft grounds will reduce injury caused by pounding. 

• Eco-pond & Herb Garden
• We also have a very big pond and herb garden (roof top garden). 
• Provision of such outdoor learning spaces will give our pupils more authentic, indepth and meaningful learning experiences. 

• Student Care Centre & Outdoor Fitness Playground
• Students’ socio-emotional development is important, and the provision of facilities will provide a ‘home-like’ environment through Student Care Centres. These will help foster quality relationships through informal interactions among students and also provide them with greater support. 
• The Outdoor Playground will be designed as a fitness themed playground where students can interact freely and develop interpersonal skills while exercising a range of different muscle groups.

and for the teachers....

We have a new corporate office with a very elegant lounge!

More updates to come!!
