Key Programmes
Character & Leadership Development
The core GR3IT values are fundamental for a person of good character and a useful citizen of Singapore. The values guide students to discern between right and wrong and help them make responsible choices. Students are nurtured to be leaders of self and others, thereby preparing them to be leaders of tomorrow.

Values-in-Action (VIA)
To establish an effective learning environment, spaces are created for their voices to be heard, providing opportunities for them to develop self-directedness, responsibility and ownership of their learning. Through VIAs, opportunities are provided for students to participate in the planning and implementation of the projects, thereby developing a sense of belonging to the school community and beyond, and having the motivation to make a positive difference.

F.A.M.I.L.Y. @YN Initiative: P3 Appreciation Card |

|
Yu Neng Primary School Mother Tongue Language Teachers in collaboration with our Character and Citizenship Education department has put together the F.A.M.I.L.Y. (Father And Mother I Love You) @YN initiative. This initiative aims to bring in real world context to learning and imbued in students a sense of gratitude for the role their families play in shaping who they are and who they become. Through this, we hope students not only extend their learning beyond the classrooms, but also grow to appreciate and value family relationships more. Parents are strongly encouraged to write back to your child via the link provided. Please refer to your child’s Mother Tongue classes when you click on the link. Thank you.
