Programme Overview

The programme is designed to provide students with an introduction to various topics for the upcoming year and revision of past-year topics.

Your child should be enrolled in this academic level in 2026.

Programme Focus

Our Strong Start for Academic Success in Science programmes help to establish a strong foundation on key topics for the upcoming year through hands-on activities and real-life scenarios and strengthen conceptual understanding for past-year topics — making it ideal for students who would like to get a head start in Primary 6.

Course Outline

As your child prepares for the crucial Primary 6 year, equipping them with a firm grasp of upcoming topics helps to bolster confidence. This programme introduces new concepts in an engaging manner, getting your child thinking by presenting them with scenarios in which they can see the concepts at work. Then, they apply what they have learnt as they work through commonly-asked questions.

Dedicated handouts for Primary 3 to Primary 4 topics and experiment-based questions allow your child to revise these fundamentals, ensuring that they are prepared for the year ahead.

The Science PSLE Prep programme gives your child a strong head start for new Primary 6 topics. An investigative question underpins each new topic, linking scientific concepts to real-life scenarios.

Hands-on experiments and experiment videos allow your child to witness concepts in action and exposure to commonly-asked questions build up confidence to tackle the new topics. Your child will also recap key answering techniques for experiment-based questions.

Course Highlights

Topics covered include:
- Sources and Forms of Energy
- Photosynthesis
- Forces
- Environmental Interactions
- Revision of key Primary 3 to Primary 4 topics
- Answering techniques for experiment-based questions

Is this programme targeted for mainstream or GEP students?

Both mainstream and GEP students can join the programme as the materials covered focus on PSLE’s topics and components.

However, please note that at the Primary 5 level, the GEP students take the GEP examination which is slightly different from the mainstream examination. If Primary 5 GEP students would like some practice for the PSLE, they can sign up for this programme.

Will there be any homework?

There will be no homework. Students will be given time to try most questions as part of classwork. For the remaining questions, students can try them at home and check their answers against the answer keys provided.

Will the worksheets be marked?

For English, components like composition writing will be collected by the teacher for marking.

For other English components/Maths/Science, our teachers will go through the answers in class. Students are not required to hand in their worksheets for marking. Due to the intensive nature of the programme, our teachers will focus more on the teaching content, question analysis and answering methods/techniques. Hence, answer keys are provided to ensure that there is a model answer to check against after the programme ends. This is unlike our core programme where we do not typically provide solutions.

If I can only make it for 1 day out of the 2 days, can I still attend the session? Are the contents covered related?

You can still attend the session as different topics are covered over the two days. Students do not need the knowledge of the first day for the second day.

My child already attended the Primary 4/5 Intensive Revision programmes. Is this any different?

Yes. While the components covered may be similar, the passages and questions are different. By attending the Primary 5/6 Strong Start for Academic Success programme, your child will be exposed to a wider variety of questions and has the opportunity to practise more.

My child already attends the Primary 4/5 core programmes. How will this be useful?

The Primary 5/6 Strong Start for Academic Success programmes focus on the sections which are key to helping your child score in the exam. Your child can use this opportunity to consolidate their learning or to revise areas which they feel that they are not familiar with. These programmes also serve to give students a head start in Primary 5/6.
