Students will maximise their potential in Mathematics and Sciences by pursuing a challenging and differentiated curriculum which will accelerate their learning experiences and develop them into independent learners and effective team workers.
The MSP uses the GEP Enrichment model from the Gifted Education Branch to differentiate our Mathematics and Sciences Programme from the mainstream. Under the GEP Enrichment model, the curriculum is differentiated in four areas, namely, content, process, product and environment. Content enrichment extends the syllabus beyond the basic syllabus in depth and breadth. It caters more to individual needs and interests. It integrates different subject areas/disciplines and affective issues so as to encourage the investigation of real-life problems. Process enrichment seeks to develop higher level thinking skills. This is achieved by providing opportunities for discovery learning and open-ended problem solving, teaching research skills for independent study, and using varied teaching strategies to cater to different learning styles. Students will consistently utilize critical and creative thinking skills to seek original solutions to real-world problems. It will also develop pupils' understanding of the ethical and moral implications of social and scientific developments. Product differentiation encourages the presentation of what has been learnt in a variety of ways thereby providing space for creative expressions. Assessment includes viva voce, games, fun outdoor learning such as the Maths Trail and fieldtrips. The curriculum in Years Five and Six is in line with the GCE ¡®A' level curriculum. |
