Math Modelling

Through the integration of various engaging activities, technology, and real-world problem-solving scenarios, students receive support to learn math in a creative and less rigid environment.

Computational Thinking

Students actively participate in coding activities and are encouraged to create algorithms to solve problems. This helps them enhance their analytical and algorithmic thinking skills, which are highly transferable to various fields and careers.

Team that participated in the International Math Modelling Challenge (IMMC) 2024	Bridging Math and Reality: Students collaborate in groups to apply calculations to design and construct bridge models from materials such as ice-cream sticks, straws and more.
Building the future with Code and Creativity: Students use Stick’em to bring their coding creations to life.	Discovering Math All Around Us: Students take a journey on a math trail and explored the school through numbers and equations.
