New Year, New Beginnings

The beginning of a new school year holds much promise and excitement.

From starting on the right foot in a new school environment to scaling new peaks at the national exams, let’s get your child ready for the learning adventure ahead.

 

 

What’s in Your Bag?

We spent time with our student, Czarina, over the weekend as she gets ready for school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Getting Bag into the Groove

As your child gets ready for the first day of school, it is time to restore some order, starting with packing his or her school bag.  

We have got ours ready – peek into our bag to see we what have packed for the new year. 

 

 

The Essentials

Look forward to in-house maths games, fun science experiments and lively debates that take your child’s learning well beyond the boundaries of textbooks and worksheets. 

This is how your child gains a deeper understanding of what’s being learnt through our lessons.

 

 

 

An Arsenal of Exam Skills

If your child is in their final primary, secondary or junior college year, there will be greater emphasis on exam strategy and revision in your child’s routines in the next few months.

We are here to support your child through the last stretch in all the areas that matter.

 

Goals for 2022

As a new academic adventure awaits in 2022, it’s important to get your child thinking about the goals he or she would like to achieve in the new year. 

Here’s a guide to help you and your child set meaningful goals and better plan the steps towards progress and growth together. 

 

 

 

A Positive Learning Attitude

The school years are crucial times for mental and social maturity. It is important to guide your child in developing a positive learning mindset. 

Here are 5 ways we build this mindset in our students. We also recommend you to practise them with your child at home.
