In this way, your child / ward can truly experience the joy of learning!
Our children succeed when parents / guardians and schools work hand in hand. Therefore, we look forward to your close partnership to bring out the best in your child / ward!
“I’m in charge of my learning!”

Learning Environment
Students thrive when they have a sense of ownership and belonging. Our students, though young, contribute to the little corners in the classrooms which they call their own. The little ones design and display the Emotional Band Account (EBA) proudly. Notes of appreciation are dropped in by their peers and teachers. Art work which they did on Growth Mindset and the 7 Habits are also displayed in class as a reminder to self.
A Virtues Challenge Board displays the target virtue which we would like the students to learn each week and no two boards are alike. As virtues are best caught and not taught, the visual serves as a reminder for every one to be on the lookout for those who habitually demonstrate the virtues in action.
iDiscover Programme
As a 7-Habits school, we strive to grow our students progressively in the maturity continuum where interdependency can be achieved over time through our school’s programmes. Thus, in line with our mission to develop students holistically and to provide more fun and meaningful learning opportunities, all our P1 & P2 students will be involved in a i-Discover programme unique to the school. The programme will be carried out on Monday, 7.30 am – 9 a.m.
Together with an identified virtue for each term, our students will also be nurtured in values and basic qualities they need to be successful throughout their lives. i-Discover will provide opportunities such as CCA experiences, social skills learning, engagement in the school’s distinctive programmes and learning journeys.
The following are further details on the programme:
Opportunities for Confidence Building
Healthy self-esteem is best nurtured from a young age. Since 2020, the Junior Primary (JP) Team has intentionally built self-confidence and resilience by giving students opportunities to showcase their talents and experience the joy of learning. Foundational performance skills are explicitly taught through Music, English Language and Programme for Active Learning (PAL) lessons.
In 2023, the iDiscover Programme extended these opportunities further, enabling Primary 1 and Primary 2 students to present their talents through choir and drama performances at school events.
Introduced in 2025, Be Yourself @ JP places confidence-building at the heart of the Junior Primary experience. Primary 1 and Primary 2 students were given platforms to showcase their musical talents through instrument performances during recess and lunch breaks. These informal, authentic settings encouraged young learners to step forward, express themselves and build confidence in a supportive environment — and were met with warm responses from students and the school community alike. We are grateful to our parents for their partnership in making this a meaningful experience for our children.
Other platforms for showcasing talents include BRLC Celebrates! Reader's Theatre performances, a handbell performance commemorating Beethoven's 250th Anniversary, and a National Day virtual choir — each offering our youngest learners a stage to grow in confidence and find their voice.
