Programme for Active Learning (PAL)
The Programme for Active Learning (PAL) is a recommendation by the Ministry of Education (MOE) that was initiated in 2009. PAL is designed to offer Primary 1 and 2 students a comprehensive range of non-academic activities, aiming to enrich their learning experiences across four distinct domains: Sports and Games, Outdoor Education, Performing Arts, and Visual Arts. Through engaging in these activities, students are exposed to diverse and enjoyable learning opportunities while also developing socio-emotional competencies such as respect for others and responsible decision-making. PAL plays a crucial role in fostering confidence, curiosity, and cooperation skills among students.
In White Sands Primary, PAL is conducted within curriculum time on Tuesdays for Primary 1 and Fridays for Primary 2. The lessons consist of activities in all four domains and are different every term.
