Programme for Active Learning

Programme for Active Learning (PAL)

In Rulang Primary School, all Primary 1 and 2 pupils undergo PAL modules as part of the holistic education during the curriculum time. PAL modules provide pupils with broad exposure in three areas- Performing and Visual Arts, Sports and Games and Outdoor Education.

The implementation of PAL provides additional platforms to realise the desired outcomes of education, i.e. for every pupil to be a confident person, a self-directed learner, an active contributor and a concerned citizen as reflected in the objectives of the programme below.

To develop

  • confidence as they enjoy individual and group experiences through active participation

  • self-directed learners with a social conscience to want to contribute to society at large

  • a sense of curiosity, creativity and adaptability as a result of their PAL experiences

  • self-expression of thoughts and ideas through experimentation

The philosophy that guides us in the PAL implementation is our belief in providing a supportive and inviting social environment to make learning fun and engaging. With that, PAL lessons are crafted based on the unique P.R.I.S.M strategy- Play. Rehearse. Internalise. Shine. Motivate.

In summary, PAL aims to facilitate the well-rounded development of pupils in the five learning domains (cognitive, moral, social, aesthetics and physical) and help pupils to develop social emotional competencies.
