Our students are constantly reminded about the value of friendship. However, sometimes we make friends with new visitors. This week, on their way out, a little bird joined 3 of our KG2X boys as they waited for their van. The students were overjoyed but remained calm not to scare away the little creature. This was […]
I guess none of our boys at St Edward’s College will have any difficulty in reading a tri-lingual headline as we start them young on languages. The beautiful days we are having are all the more reasons to head outside for our daily lessons. Year 2Y students held more lessons outdoors, some students choosing to […]
Two years after the last conferment of the sacrament of First Holy Communion at St Edward’s College, the celebration is back. Albeit in a somewhat muted form due to Covid-19 precautions and restrictions, this year’s celebrations are in ‘extra-large’ format. Not only are the Year 2s preparing for their big day but, also this year, […]

Planning 21/22 Apart from the planning for staffing, the SDP and knowing which students will be with us next […]
It was Year 2X’s turn to explore measurement last week. The boys did this through a friendly competition as they practiced their predictive and reasoning skills to give correct answer. Their inquisitive nature had the class buzzing with enthusiasm as they poured, measured, tested, compared and identified.
