Character and Citizenship Education

The integrated Character and Citizenship Education at PLMGS (Primary) depend on the 3-E Approach: Equip, Engage, and Excel. Through the Student Developmental Experiences found in CCE (MTL) Curriculum, NE, CCA, Student Leadership, VIA, ECG, Cyber Wellness, and Student Advocacy, PL-Lites get equipped with the HEART values and social-emotional competencies, knowledge, and abilities to realize the schools’ vision.

Co-Curricular Activities (CCA) Programme

The CCA Program caters to a wide range of interests and abilities. PL-Lites can achieve this development by actively participating in our CCA Program. They find their interests by participating in the CCA of their choice, where they get equipped, engaged, and allowed to excel. The authentic and diverse chances help foster a lifelong passion for the sport.

Aside from actively participating in CCA, continued engagement in any CCA allows for the progressive development of CCA-specific information, skills, values, and attitudes. PL-Lites learn to apply their school values (HEART), Social-Emotional Competencies across each task. As a result, the entire process would ultimately grow each PL-Lite to become a woman of good character with a passion for life while excelling in the CCA of their choice.

School anthem

The school song has four lyrics, with the first three written by Miss Nancy Coggan, a teacher at the school from 1955 to 1957. Mrs. Winnie Tan penned the fourth verse, which gets added to include the school’s spiritual statement. Every Tuesday, they sing the school anthem.
