Special Student Development Programmes Offered

To provide a holistic learning experience to the students, Riverside Secondary School adopts an all-round approach, considering their interests and talents, and providing for diverse opportunities within and beyond the classrooms. In nurturing motivated learners and practical problem-solvers, the school has customised its instructional curriculum to “engage” students through creative approaches, “enhance” their learning through differentiated teaching, “empower” them to direct their own learning, “enrich” their learning through supplementary programmes and “evaluate” their performance using varied modes of assessment. A range of pedagogies such as Multiple Intelligences, Problem-based Learning and Socratic Questioning are employed. Students also embark on engaging experiential learning activities such as field-based learning and overseas cultural immersion trips to apply what they have learned. The Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) programme emphasises moral knowing, moral feeling and moral doing. It includes customised lessons as well as activities for students to live out the school values. These activities include CCE forums for students to engage in discussions on national issues, service to community projects with the Woodlands community and improvement projects initiated by students under the Campus ChangeMakers Programme. Riversidians are empowered to become leaders through the leadership programme. All Secondary 2 and 3 students also work towards achieving the Bronze/Silver National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA). The school’s “Arts for Life” programme nurtures arts development as an integral part of the students’ life. “Arts for Everyone” includes arts programmes for students to appreciate the arts, “Arts in Curriculum” comprises programmes in the lower secondary arts curriculum and upper secondary elective Art and “Arts for Talent Building” allows talented students to further extend their skills and interests through their arts-related CCAs.
