West Grove Primary School

Stepping out of the classroom and into the outdoors 🌿⛺

Our Primary 5 students took on new experiences at camp , from pitching tents and cooking simple meals to conquering challenging high-element activities. Through every task, they learned the value of teamwork, resilience, and encouraging one another.

Guided by their instructors, students also explored nature and picked up valuable life skills that will stay with them beyond the classroom.

As part of their Applied Learning Programme, the P3s dove into the 3Rs of environmental sustainability — exploring how the little things we do every day can make a big difference to our planet earth.

Students went on a learning journey to Virogreen, an e-recycling facility, where they got an up-close look at waste management and what sustainable practices really look like in action. Working in teams, they also put their thinking caps on to design practical products made entirely from recycled materials — proving that one person's trash really can be another person's treasure!

We're proud of these young eco-warriors for showing us that sustainability can be fun, creative, and meaningful.

West Grove Primary School extended its warmest welcome to Dr Syed Harun Alhabsyi, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for MOE, on 22 April 2026. He was introduced to our different learning spaces, including We-Create and We-Read, where students can play, learn and grow together. Dr Syed was also interviewed by WGPS’s Little Reporters about Mother Tongue learning. It was a pleasure to have him with us!

The Primary 4 Applied Learning Programme (ALP) took place from 8 to 10 April, centred on food sustainability and giving students hands-on opportunities to explore the impact of food waste on the environment. Using Microbits, they created a prototype to address the problem of food waste. Students also visited Jurong West Hawker Centre to learn about hawker culture. Beyond the sustainability focus, they experienced archery and went on a neighbourhood walk to develop a deeper appreciation of their surroundings.

Our school came alive with joy and togetherness as we celebrated Hari Raya! From a vibrant concert filled with music, dance and singing to classroom activities. Students and teachers enjoyed the festive spirit, strengthening bonds and learning more about the beauty of this special celebration. As part of the celebration, we also contributed to the Jamiyah Food Drive, putting our Gracious Hearts into action by caring for those in need. Selamat Hari Raya! 🌙✨

During Term 1, a range of recess activities were organised to encourage student engagement, social interaction, and active play. Students had the opportunity to participate in various activities. These activities were well received and helped foster teamwork, inclusivity, and positive use of recess time.

The Prefect Investiture Ceremony was held in the school hall on 11 March to officially appoint a new team of prefects. During the ceremony, the selected students took a pledge to serve the school with responsibility and integrity. The event marked an important moment as the new prefects committed themselves to being role models and leaders for the student body.

At West Grove Primary School, fostering a love for reading is central to helping our students connect literacy with overall learning. 📚✨

We strengthen this bridge through meaningful and engaging experiences — from Assembly Reading sessions and scheduled library visits with thematic book displays, to lively storytelling by our Vice Principal and Parent Support Group. Students also enjoy special storytelling segments during Assembly and exciting book signing moments with the author.

Through these shared experiences, we nurture curious minds and gracious hearts — one story at a time. 💛

Our school celebrated Chinese New Year with a vibrant and meaningful event that brought students and teachers together to learn about this important cultural festival. The school hall was beautifully decorated with red lanterns and banners with auspicious messages. The concert began with a presentation by a group of musical artists playing traditional local and festive songs, followed by a Guzheng performance, singing and mass dance. It was not only a fun celebration but also a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the Chinese culture. 🏮✨

As part of the post-PSLE activities, the P6 students embarked on a P6 Pop-up Store project where they set up stalls to sell things or game experiences to the P1 and P2 students.

The project provides our students with a fun and engaging way to apply their creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurial skills while fostering financial literacy.
