Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we start Term 2, 2026, I thank you for your continued partnership and support for our school.

This year’s school theme is “Strong and Courageous.” Over the past term, with your strong support, we have seen many students demonstrate this through their willingness to try new things, persevere through challenges, and show kindness to others.

Our Primary 1 students, in particular, have shown courage as they adjust to a new environment, make friends and learn new routines. Across all levels, students are also learning important habits such as self-discipline, responsibility and perseverance — qualities that help them grow in confidence and character.

We would also like to thank our Partners-in-Education (PiE) for your generous support in programmes such as the Primary 1 Touch Typing programme and the Primary 4 to 6 Sports Carnival. The Sports Carnival was a wonderful way to end Term 1, with students experiencing teamwork, resilience and good sportsmanship. The Primary 1 to 3 students can look forward to the Lower Primary Games Day which will be held on Children’s Day.

As we move into Term 2, the academic work will become more challenging and conceptual for some levels. Our Primary 6 students will also begin to feel the increasing demands as they move closer to the PSLE. During this period, one way we can support our students is by helping them develop Executive Functioning skills that enable them to manage their learning more effectively:

Younger students can learn emotional control, recognising their feelings and calming themselves when they feel frustrated with difficult work.
Middle primary students can practise using working memory strategies, such as breaking information into smaller parts when learning new concepts.
Older students can develop self-monitoring, checking their work carefully and thinking about how they can improve.
For our Primary 6 students, planning and organisation become important, such as breaking large tasks into smaller steps and managing their study time well.

Let’s work together to encourage our students to build these habits and become more confident and independent learners. As our students apply these skills, we will work together to encourage them to discover their strengths, stay resilient in their learning, and build confidence as they overcome challenges.

I would also like to share with you that behind the scenes, our teachers continue to learn and grow professionally. Through Professional Learning Teams (PLTs), they collaborate to explore innovative teaching approaches and effective use of educational technology to design meaningful learning experiences. We are proud to share that four PLT projects in English, Science, Physical Education and Music from 2025 have been accepted for presentation at the Redesigning Pedagogy International Conference 2026 organised by NIE/NTU. This reflects our teachers’ dedication to continually improve their practice for the benefit of our students.

In this edition of Newslink, we have also included a new section on our Zero Bullying efforts. This section aims to keep parents informed about the steps the school is taking to foster a safe and inclusive environment for all students. It will also provide practical strategies to support your children in building positive peer relationships, managing conflicts respectfully, and showing empathy towards others. We look forward to partnering with you in nurturing a community where every child feels safe, respected, and valued.

Thank you once again for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will nurture our children to be strong and courageous, ready to learn, care for others, and grow with confidence.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” ~ Joshua 1:9

Serving with you,
