The school aims to equip children with the necessary mix of knowledge, skills , competencies and attitudes to excel in the global area. We are therefore committed to improving student learning outcomes and providing teaching approaches that meet the needs of all students; not just in words but in our actions. How we teach must reflect how our students learn. It must also reflect the world our students will move into. This is a world which is rapidly changing, connected, adapting and evolving. Our style and approach to teaching must emphasise the learning in the 21st century. For this, we have adapted to one pedagogical approach to teaching and learning which is inquiry learning. This approach encourages students to ask key questions for investigation. It also considers the connections across learning areas, as well as the way that individual students learn. We ensure here in Junior school that learning to be more relevant to the known area of each child and that the concepts are learned in context and relate to existing knowledge, student interests, needs and questions inform teachers of the appropriate teaching and learning experiences that are required for particular cohorts of students and are central in the planning process.

Lastly, we value our parents co-operation to such an extent by which this wonderful journey of progress sustains throughout both at school and also at home. Sharmin Mahmud Vice Principal, Junior School
