The school offers the Applied Learning Programme (ALP) and Learning for Life Programme (LLP) which provide students with learning experiences beyond the formal instructional curriculum. The school's ALP, Broadcast Journalism, allows students to apply English Language skills from various genres in an authentic setting. All lower secondary students go through the programme where they hone their language skills as they engage in scripting, video-casting and storyboarding. Students also acquire related ICT skills progressively. The programme promotes the use of the English Language to communicate ideas and values and to serve the community. Students also gain insights into possible careers in the fields of media and broadcasting. The LLP focusses on developing community leaders with the heart to serve through Uniformed Groups and leadership development programmes for all students. It aims to develop leadership skills progressively in all students; beginning with personal and community leadership and culminating in executive leadership. All students will acquire basic lea dership competencies, social emotional skills and values to become community leaders. The programme utilises carefully selected tools including 7 Habits of Effective Teens, National Youth Achievement Award, experiential outdoor learning and leadership profiling tools. It also leverages on the current strength of the school in Uniformed Groups (UGs) to provide UG experiences for non-UG students. In all, the school is committed to nurturing learners with skills and values for effective communication and gracious citizens with the heart to serve.
