Active Learners, Curious Minds Together
The Primary 1 and 2 Programme for Active Learning (PAL) provides our young Gabrielites with meaningful opportunities to learn through play, exploration, and shared experiences. Through six engaging modules – Sports & Games, Outdoor Education, Visual Arts, and Performing Arts through Music, Drama, and Dance – students discover their interests and talents while developing important social-emotional skills.
Through hands-on activities and collaborative learning experiences, students learn to build friendships, manage emotions, communicate respectfully, and work effectively with others. PAL also nurtures important virtues such as respect, resilience, responsibility, and compassion, helping students grow in confidence and character.
In a safe and joyful learning environment, our Gabrielites are encouraged to try new experiences, persevere through challenges, and celebrate one another’s strengths. These rich experiences lay a strong foundation for future-ready Gabrielites who are confident, caring, and resilient learners prepared to contribute positively to the community.
Dashing Forward into the Future
As part of the Programme for Active Learning (PAL) – Gabrielite Digital Literacy Programme (GDLP), our Primary 1 and 2 Gabrielites were introduced to the exciting world of coding and robotics through engaging hands-on experiences with Dash Robots. Building on foundational ICT skills, students learned basic coding concepts by programming robots to move, respond to commands, and complete fun challenges.
Through play-based and interactive learning, students developed logical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills while discovering how technology can be used meaningfully in everyday life. Working collaboratively with their peers also strengthened communication, teamwork, and confidence as they explored new ideas together.
The programme nurtures curiosity and digital confidence from a young age, empowering students to become responsible and adaptable digital learners. Through these enriching experiences, our Gabrielites are growing into future-ready learners who are innovative, inquisitive, and eager to embrace the possibilities of technology in a rapidly changing world.
