Elective Modules and Advanced Elective Modules provide opportunities for real-world learning. The school's Applied Learning Programme in Food Science and Technology seeks to develop students' creativity, confidence and interest in Science and Technology. The school works with external organisations to design customised programmes such as Timeout and Enhanced Step-Up programmes, and Transition workshops. Character and Citizenship Education lessons integrate the teaching of school values with the teaching of Social-Emotional Competencies. The Dunearn Character Development Profile is a formative assessment tool to help students take ownership of their character development. Pupil Teacher Relational Time is dedicated time for Form Teachers and co-Form Teachers to conduct structured dialogues with students. The school emphasises the internalisation of values and putting them into action through its differentiated Values in Action (VIA) programme. Students are involved in learning about and understanding issues pertaining to the environment, school, and local and overseas communities. Education and Career Guidance is implemented through Values Education lessons, visits to post-secondary institutions, and the school's Higher Institutions and Careers Week. The school's Learning for Life Programme focuses on Community Youth Leadership, which seeks to permeate a culture of school-wide community youth leadership development.
