I&E is a core set of life skills and attitudes that we want
to develop in our students.
A spirit of inquiry and thinking originally
A willingness to do something differently, even if there is
a risk of failure
A ruggedness of character, the ability to bounce back and
try again
A willingness to stand in a team, lead a team and fight as
a team
A sense of "giving back to the community"

SEED stands for Strategies for Effective
Engagement and Development
of pupils in Primary Schools. It is a programme intended to
help our primary schools think through how they can further
enhance their foundation-year teaching programmes, pedagogy
and assessment approaches to better engage young learners.
It is also intended to facilitate and help teachers to reflect
on their instructional methods and devise pedagogies suited
to the unique needs and abilities of their pupils for enhanced
learning outcomes.
