#1958 Heritage Gallery & Marsiling Heritage Trail

The #1958 Heritage Gallery and The Marsiling Heritage Trail were launched on 16 November 2018 by then Second Minister for Education Ms Indranee Rajah. In collaboration with the National Heritage Board, some P4 student leaders conceptualised and developed the Marsiling Heritage Trail. Marsilians will have a chance to go on, to familiarise themselves with the landmarks in this neighbourhood and to have a deeper appreciation for the heritage of the community in which our school is located.

CCE & Social Studies (SS) Cohort Learning Journeys

To deepen their understanding and application of their learning in CCE and Social Studies, all students are given the opportunity to go on experiential learning journeys to places such as #1958 Heritage Gallery, Botanical Gardens, River Safari, Geylang Seria Heritage Gallery, Indian Heritage Centre and Asian Civilisations Museum. These platforms also create many opportunities for students to learn to work in teams and practice school values as they support each other in achieving shared goals in the activities designed for their cognitive and social emotional development.

Interdisciplinary Project Work (IPW)

To promote the development of 21st century skills and build the culture of COL (collaborative learning) and SDL (self-directed learning), the school creates opportunities for all students to be involved in interdisciplinary Project Work where they work in teams to do research and presentation skills. We encourage every students to develop a growth mindset in believing in themselves as they persevere in their continuous journey to be effective leaders who are confident in communicating their ideas, self-directed in their learning and committed to build positive peer relationships through respectful conversations.
