Through PAL@CAPS, our students are engaged in fun and enjoyable activities that incorporates values education and social-emotional learning (SEL). PAL@CAPS focuses on character development, SEL competencies and leadership skills.

PAL@CAPS is designed to allow our students grow up to be confident persons, adept at working with people from different backgrounds and able to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively. Students are also encouraged to be curious learners who like to ask questions and are not afraid to make mistakes. In addition, PAL@CAPS provides opportunities for pupils to develop bonds of friendship with their peers.
