What sets Pal Primary apart?

Tailored Learning Environment

Our Primary Learning Environment offers personalised attention, with each grade having a dedicated classroom and teacher who address academic, social, and emotional needs. Our integrated curriculum breaks down the boundaries between subjects, promoting critical thinking and ethical awareness. We believe in fostering creative thinking through our Integrated Curriculum. This approach allows students to explore meaningful connections between various subjects and skills, providing a deeper understanding of real-world issues. Our innovative use of Macro-Themes ensures that each term has a primary focus area, with other subjects connecting and supporting the learning process. Students learn English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography etc. but based around key inquiry themes rather than arbitrary units as one finds in most schools.

Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the curriculum, we offer a rich array of co-curricular programs, including service learning, public speaking competitions, and cross-age mentorship. Our House System, based on the Four Sublime Virtues, encourages students to act with kindness, generosity, and excellence.

Science of the Mind

In Dhamma Classes, students explore the Buddha's teachings on wisdom, morality, and diligence, with a focus on personal excellence and mindfulness. Mindfulness training is integrated into our daily routines, cultivating focus, self-awareness, and informed decision-making. Each week, students are guided through the Buddha's teachings on Wisdom, Morality, and Discipline in ways suitable for children. These sessions explore meditation, the Noble Eightfold Path, and how these principles apply to students' lives today. Our commitment to Dhamma principles extends beyond the classroom through weekly service assignments, providing practical opportunities for students to understand and practice these values. 

Assessments and Homework

Pal Primary students undertake yearly exams, fostering a culture of academic excellence and preparing them for the transition to secondary school. We also value homework as a means to deepen understanding and offer various support programs. Pal Primary students are encouraged to set and achieve personal goals in yearly examinations. School reports, accompanied by student portfolios, provide insights into learning, facilitating productive parent-teacher discussions. We believe that education is a partnership between the school, students, and parents. Homework at Pal Primary is designed to supplement and extend classroom learning. We encourage parents to actively engage with their child's homework by signing off on completed tasks. Our homework help sessions before school and reading time during the week ensure that students receive the necessary support to excel academically. This collaborative approach to learning empowers students to reach their full potential.
