Children develop practical skills for life, for example, polishing their shoes and pouring liquids, and learn how to become more independent in the school environment. We have focus days on traditions and special days from many countries and faiths e.g. Divali, American Independence Day, St Patrick's day, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Harvest. We also introduce the children to the concept of "giving to others" who are less fortunate than themselves, through Harvest assemblies and fundraising events for charity.
