PEAK – Each academic year, all Middle School students participate in a week of activities outside of the classroom. PEAK (Programs of Extended Activities for Kids) are designed to enrich the curriculum with hands-on experiences and enhance students’ interpersonal and leadership skills. Our PEAK trips are planned to support students’ growth in the Chinese Culture Student Learning Result (SLR) as well as in the Character Development and Contributing to Society SLRs.
Self-Motivated Learning Project – Self Motivated Learning Project is an annual opportunity for students to follow a passion, develop an interest or skill, and perhaps leave a legacy to the school and wider community. They present their project in the Spring demonstrating an understanding of their learning.
