Vocational Training
Our vocational training programme offers a wide range of classes designed to equip students with life skills that will prepare them for the workplace and empower them to pursue economically viable hobbies. Instructors adopt a hands-on approach to promote interest and curiosity and help students gain valuable practical knowledge.
Each vocational class represents a specific vocational interest and runs for a one-year curriculum which is annually reviewed to ensure relevance. Apart from those in external examination classes, every student participates in vocational training. Consequently, over the six-year that a student would spend from JSS1 to SSS3, he/she would have been exposed to four different vocational skills.
The classes take advantage of experiential learning opportunities through visits to entrepreneurs and businesses in related fields.
