“The learning module I took in ITE was to me, fun and exciting, as it was a first experiencing what life could be after secondary school… In the future this module will help a lot whenever I decide to start a business as I’ve learnt the basics to starting one.”

Programme
Tier 1
The Secondary 2 Tier 1 ALP aims to promote active living by having students design gadgets for a targeted age group using Arduino, a programming software. The Design Thinking framework is adopted to guide them in their project. In the process of preparation, students crafted presentation slides and videos using their iPads during the Independent Learning Days.
Tier 2
Secondary 3 Normal students attend Elective Modules every year. These modules aim to broaden their learning experience and expose them to possible educational progression and career pathways in ITE, thereby enabling them to make more informed choices upon graduation.
Tier 3
Secondary 2 students attend Applied Learning Modules (ApLMs) based on their needs in respective areas. In 2021, under this programme, 30 Secondary 2 and 3 Sports Leaders from the various Sports CCAs attended the “Sports Psychology: Resilience in Action” module at Republic Polytechnic. Another group of Food and Nutrition students also attended the “Introduction to Food Innovation” module at Singapore Polytechnic.
