Further afield
We love planning exciting experiences for our primary students.

In the past our primary students have enjoyed trips to the National Museum in Kuala Lumpur, day trips to Saloma Grape Vineyard, Dim Sum workshops and a particular highlight is the sleepover in the school during Standards 1 to 4. These educational trips are not only great fun but also a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen friendships and develop independence. These trips create lasting memories and important learning opportunities outside the classroom.
