Mission
Transforming Learners Through Technology.
Vision
Future-Ready Ethical Digital Learners.
National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP)
The National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP) was launched in March 2020 to make digital learning inclusive by equipping students with the digital literacies to be future-ready.
The NDLP aims to equip our students with Digital Literacies. Digital Literacies better enable our students, at different stages of their education journey, to acquire the digital skills required to navigate the digital age through four mutually reinforcing components in the ‘Find, Think, Apply and Create’ framework.

Device Management Application (DMA)
Personal Learning Device (PLD) usage time for students is set from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and with school hours from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The school determines the applications (apps) to be installed in our students' PLD to support teaching and learning.
All PLDs are pre-installed with a Device Management Application (DMA) to provide a safer digital environment for learning and safeguard our students' cyber wellness.

Please take note that changes to the After-School DMA Parent Options should only be done by the parent/guardian of the student (SingPass authentication required). The new option will only take effect at the start of the next school term.
