GREENRIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Belief: ‘Learn. Improve. Excel.’

Homework Submission

• Aim to develop a good discipline in our students to

review their learning and also to develop a good habit to see to the completion of work on their own

• It is important that students manage their time effectively

between their studies and their involvement in Co- curricular Activities (CCA)

GREENRIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Belief: ‘Learn. Improve. Excel.’

Co-Curricular Activities (CCA)

• CCA is compulsory and all Sec 1 to 5 students are

subjected to the LEAPS CCA Grading Scheme (which covers Leadership, Enrichment, Achievement, Participation, Service)

• CCA is an integral part of our students’ holistic, well-

rounded education

• CCA helps to nurture talents as well as develop positive

character

• All our good performers did well in their CCAs

GREENRIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Belief: ‘Learn. Improve. Excel.’

Target Setting and Monitoring

• Targets are generated for each student based on national

data and their previous year’s scores

• Every child is to record the subject targets and write actual

scores of every assessment taken next to subject targets. They are to track their own achievements.

• This allows students to reflect on what are the causes and

effects behind their performance and hence develop some traits of self-directed learners

GREENRIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Belief: ‘Learn. Improve. Excel.’

Esprit d ’Excellence Programme

• Embracing the spirit of excellence ensures self improvement.

Excellence to us means ‘Doing Well, Doing Good’.
