Target Setting and Monitoring

• Targets are generated for each student based on national

data and their previous year’s scores

• Every child is to record the subject targets and write actual

scores of every assessment taken next to subject targets.

They are to track their own achievements.

• This allows students to reflect on what are the causes and

effects behind their performance and hence develop some

traits of self-directed learners

Co-Curricular Activities (CCA)

• CCA is compulsory and all Sec 1 to 5 students are

subjected to the LEAPS CCA Grading Scheme (which

covers Leadership, Enrichment, Achievement,

Participation, Service)

rounded education

character
