How We Support, Enrich and Challenge Every Learner

Last updated 15 September 2026

The Mathematics Department programmes are designed to develop students’ problem-solving skills and promote critical thinking. They aim to cultivate a strong foundation in mathematics by equipping students with the essential skills and strategies needed for lifelong learning and real-world application.

The programmes enable students to:

  • Acquire and apply mathematical concepts and skills for everyday use and continued learning;

  • Develop thinking, reasoning, communication, application and metacognitive skills through a problem-solving approach;

  • Build confidence and foster a sustained interest in Mathematics;

Students in yellow uniforms engage in classroom activities including building shapes, writing, and using tablets.

Our Department Programmes

Mathematics & Science Discovery Fortnight (MSDF)

To ignite curiosity and cultivate a passion for learning, engaging activities and friendly competitions are organised for our students. These experiences provide opportunities for them to apply their Mathematical and Science knowledge in real-life situations, deepening their understanding and appreciation of both subjects.

Across all levels from Primary 1 to Primary 6, students take part in a vibrant array of hands-on activities that encourage exploration and discovery. During recess, they engage in purposeful educational play that strengthens their factual fluency, enhances visualisation skills and develops logical thinking — all while having fun.
