Pastoral Care
There is a comprehensive range of programmes to cater to the needs of pupils. Pupils who are neglected or under-performing in their daily work are counselled by their teachers, who will often communicate with parents to work out the best course of action to take to help the child improve.  

Latch-key and lack of home support pupils are selected by the teachers for ‘The Sunshine Programme’. Here, these pupils are given a place where they can do their assignments and projects or self-study under the supervision of a teacher or parent volunteer.

Pupils who constantly exhibit poor behavioural conduct are referred to the teacher-counsellors. If necessary, the assistance of the  School Counsellor and Educational Child Psychologist may be sought.

Financial assistance is given to needy pupils.

Road Safety

All P5 pupils must participate in the road safety lesson at the East Coast Road Safety Park so that they are familiar with the rules and regulations and apply this life-skill in their daily-life for their personal as well as others safety.

Inter-disciplinary Project Work (IPW)

Primary Three to Primary Five pupils are involved in the IPW. Each level chose to work on an area of interest. The pupils had to work on a project which incorporates most of the subjects.

Primary Three – Hydroponic Tomatoes

Each pupil planted a tomato seed in March 2007. They realised that they can also grow a plant without using any soil. The pupils monitored and charted the growth of the plants. Then, they did a project either in the form of scrapbook or Powerpoint. They discussed the different types of tomatoes, the lifecycle of tomatoes and even contributed recipes for a tomato dish.

Primary Four – Beach cleaning

The Primary Four pupils went to the Kallang river on 9 April 2007 . The pupils were given a briefing by the Waterways Watch on water pollution and the importance of keeping our waterways clean. Then, the pupils were involved in the cleaning of the river. They picked up all the rubbish and even weighed them to find out how much rubbish were collected. They pupils did a chart on the amount and types of rubbish they collected.
