WHAT’S NEW

Techy Fun

At Coding Lab’s coding and programming holiday camps for ages seven to 18, age-appropriate learning is infused with fun. Kids can create games that teach concepts like gravity and make apps that can be shared with friends and family. There’s also coding with Python – one of the world’s top programming languages – and exploring concepts in Artificial Intelligence. This season, young ones can get hands-on with bots, and enjoy a Math Meets Coding programme. Camps are happening from 23 November to mid-January 2021 at the centres at Parkway Parade and KAP Mall (Bukit Timah), The Grassroots’ Club (Ang Mo Kio) and online. From $402. 6528 2282 | codinglab.com.sg

Congratulations!

Tanglin Trust Junior School has been awarded the Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA) Gold Accreditation. Run by UNICEF UK, the initiative encourages schools to set the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the forefront of their beliefs and curriculum. The school is the first in Asia and outside the UK to receive the award, revealing its commitment to encourage students to respect the rights of others and be responsible citizens. Junior School children are now more appreciative of the rights they have and of the importance of respectful relationships. tts.edu.sg

Sports Shopping

Popular sports retailer Decathlon has opened a new store at The Centrepoint in Orchard. The two-level store has over 5,000 products across 60 sports and activities, all developed and manufactured by the brand.

The brand’s offerings include eco-friendly designs – in fact, it’s aiming for products to be 100 percent eco-designed by 2026. decathlon.sg

Take a Tour

Dulwich College (Singapore) has begun conducting individual tours at its campus. Participants can enjoy a personalised tour by a member of the school’s admissions team (60-90 minutes) so they can view facilities, watch classroom learning in action, experience school culture and see how their child would fit in. There’s also the option of meeting with specialist teachers such as the Director of Sport or IBDP Coordinator. Note that DUCKS (Early Years) tours aren’t held during class hours, only at 4pm after school. Sign up at singapore.dulwich.org/private-tour, or by emailing admissions@dulwich-singapore.edu.sg or calling 6890 1000.
