Programmes and Events
Across the three faculties, there are differentiated programmes catering to the learners of different abilities. These programmes provide additional support for acquiring fundamental numerical skills and thinking creatively. School-wide initiatives are in place to make Mathematics learning authentic and meaningful in everyday life.
Financial Literacy
In today’s complex environment, making informed and responsible decisions on the use of money is crucial for one’s personal well-being and the community.
