The SIR Programme is designed to provide students with a holistic start to the new academic year. The programme supports students’ academic and digital learning, fosters a positive classroom culture, and nurtures their personal, emotional, and social well-being.

Students will take part in a series of hands-on, team-based, and interactive activities aimed at building identity, fostering positive peer relationships, developing good habits and routines, and strengthening personal competencies. They will also work closely with their Form Teachers to build a strong class identity, establish daily norms, and nurture a supportive classroom environment. For the Sec 1 cohort, orientation activities will be incorporated to facilitate a smooth transition into their new school setting.
