Wednesday Afternoon Teacher Development

Teachers in Secondary meet every Wednesday after school to learn and study about our curriculum, assessment, educational trends, pedagogy, learning, and best practice. Below, Bret Deitre, our new Special Educational Needs specialist, led us in a rocking presentation on working with students with educational differences. 


Mr Reid teaching an English class ... with colleagues Mr Morley and Mr Hudson in the back observing. The English Department, led by Mr Reid, took the lead this year in creating time for peer observation of teaching practices. In this way, we can mentor each other in "what works for us" and in new teaching practices / ideas / approaches to lessons. This is great learning! 



The New Chatsworth Parent Group

Mr Sherwood, our Principal, addressing the new Chatsworth Parent Group. It is wonderful to have such great parents supporting us, and the enthusiasm in the room was measurable. Thanks Chatsworth Parents!

Introduction to the MYP ... with parents

Mark Williams, our MYP Coordinator, leading a mini workshop with parents about the MYP. We hold numerous "information" evenings all year long, about various aspects of school life, from curriculum to assessment to pastoral to university life. 

Mr Williams even had parents "working" during the evening ... like being back at school again. 


When It Rains, It Pours.

A great mini clip showing the amazing rain storms that we can get here in Singapore. This view is taken from just outside the Secondary Office, top floor of Block 5.
