DA VINCI

The DA VINCI at West View Primary School seeks to nurture every child’s potential, acknowledging that each student possesses unique combinations of talents and abilities. Through a thoughtfully structured curriculum, the programme provides students with varied opportunities to maximize their strengths and reach their fullest potential, and is designed to develop critical thinking, creativity, and effective communication skills.

 The DA VINCI consists of three key programme:

BRAIN Programme

Focused on developing effective communication and presentation skills, this component will empower students to express their ideas clearly and confidently, preparing them for future opportunities to showcase their learning.

E2K Math Programme

Through engaging activities, students will strengthen their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, tackling real-world challenges with an innovative mindset.

Capstone Project using Design Thinking

Capstone Project will allow students to apply design thinking as they create and present meaningful projects. This experience will integrate the skills learned throughout the DA VINCI Programme and provide them with an opportunity to showcase their growth.

As part of our DA VINCI, students have the opportunity to engage in cross-cultural exchanges with partner schools. They will participate in cross-cultural activities, gain new insights, and build friendships with students from partner schools. We are confident that this experience will broaden their horizons and deepen their learning journey.

Internationalisation Programme includes:

Overseas Immersion Programme with Hong Kong Schools: Tai Po Old Market Public School (Plover Cove) and Lee Chi Tat Memorial School

This overseas exchange offered students firsthand experience with Hong Kong’s education system, encouraging cultural exchange, and fostering international friendships. The partner schools offer programmes related to both sustainability and technology, which would provide valuable exposure and an excellent platform for showcasing to our students and teachers.

School Visits by Singapore International School, Vietnam, and Xi’an Gao Xin No.1 Primary School, China

Our students have the chance to host and interact with students from these esteemed schools, developing global perspectives and understanding through shared activities.

P5 students and students from Singapore International School Vietnam were immersed in an array of engaging learning experiences that involves an exchange of cross-cultural performances from both schools. These include presentation of cultures and festivals from both schools, singing and dance performances as well as fashion parade by pupils from Vietnam. P5 cultural buddies also interacted with their buddies from Vietnam during recess and formed friendship bonds with lasting memories.

Internationalisation Programme with Xi’an Gao Xin No.1 Primary School

Our visitors from China interacted with our P5 cultural buddies in the canteen. It was a wonderful experience for the visitors as they got to purchase and try out food from the school canteen. The group also participated in the Commemoration of Racial Harmony Day (RHD) as part of our assembly programme, which included a presentation on the objectives of RHD, a harmony parade, and singing.
