Values and Habits

Preschool and Primary level education is the most critical stage in a person's development. Parents and teachers play a strong role in the child's development at preschool and primary stage.

We believe that when a child develop good learning habits, he is on the right path towards excellent performance. As the child acquire the proper values, such as discipline, determination, perseverance, which he repeatedly do and become a habit, parents can rest assured that the child will succeed in what they set their mind to. We work with parents to help the child develop these good learning habits.

"The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken." ~Samuel Johnson

Value - Responsibility

Knowing past trends MAY help us predict the future. Based on the feedback from PSLE students over the years, the level of difficulty seemed higher in the 2005, 2007 and 2009 PSLE Math papers. If the past trend is anything that we can trust by, this year's student will be spared. Really?!

Truth or Fallacy? The best bet is to having our students continue to be responsible towards their own learning and maintain the mindset of "Being Prepared". You cannot but agree with our Senior Minister Mr Goh Chok Tong that these values are timeless.

Work Smart : Logical Reasoning - Smart Guess and Check

Guess and Check the smart way. Imagine our students sitting for the PSLE paper fussing around with numbers over a Guess and Check question, totally not cool. We recommend a 3-step approach to derive the answer. Yes 3-step only and logically.

To improve performance in assessments and examinations, we encourage students to take note of the pointers highlighted by John Yong in the attached article.
