✨ Happy Diwali!
What an amazing sight to behold as regardless of race and nationality, OWIS Newton came together to celebrate Diwali as one last Thursday.
From dance performances and rangoli decorating to trying delicious traditional treats like murukku and gulab jamun, it was simply a beautiful day of cultural sharing and community spirit.
At OWIS, we celebrate diversity not just in words, but through meaningful experiences like this — moments that bring us together and help our students appreciate the richness of cultures around them. 🌍
Big thank you to to all the parents who joined and supported their children — your presence made the celebration even more special! ❤️

Paying homage to Van Gogh’s ✨ Starry Night, our Grade 4 student put the finishing touches on his own beautiful rendition of the 🎨 iconic painting!
As part of his Unit of Inquiry, “How Digital Media Has Changed Relationships Between People,” he also explored the fascinating concept of avatars and self-portraits, learning to express identity through art by drawing both Minion-style characters and his own self-portrait.
It’s not quite complete yet, but we’re just as excited as he is to see how his artwork evolves in the next session!

It wasn’t just the 🌝 moon shining the brightest during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) last week, our campus was glowing too!
The festival was the perfect occasion for our students to showcase their creativity as they painted lanterns, sang festive songs, and even tried their hand at making mooncakes.
At OWIS, we believe that celebrating cultural traditions like these helps our learners deepen their appreciation for diversity and develop a true sense of global citizenship. ❤️
How did you celebrate your 中秋节? We hope it was filled with joy, family, and loved ones!

Inventing their own addition machine to learn how to count? Now that’s impressive.
Our EC3s recently took a big step in numeracy by building and using their very own addition machine — helping them count confidently up to 10!
Across three lessons, children:
🔢 Practised writing number sentences using + and =
🗣️ Explored mathematical language like “_ and _ makes _”
🤝 Strengthened their understanding of number bonds
It’s been wonderful to watch our IB PYP learners’ confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm shine through. Amazing work EC3, you’re driving full speed ahead on your maths journey!

Why just speak one language when you can be a master of two (or even three!)?
Our IB PYP learners explored family vocabulary in Mandarin through lively puppet shows and catchy songs. They practised words like “爸爸,” “妈妈,” while acting out short puppet scenes and singing along with excitement.
Afterwards, they created drawings to represent their own families and shared them with classmates, proudly using their new vocabulary. It was definitely a playful, meaningful way to build language skills while celebrating family connections!

This isn’t just a drawing. It’s their greatest piece of art. A masterpiece. Their magnum opus.
It’s a self-portrait of who they want to be — and that’s what self-expression is all about. This week, our Grade 1 IB PYP learners explored the theme of identity through self-portraits.
With mirrors in hand and just four simple colours, they brought their portraits to life in their own unique way. An exercise in identity and self-expression, it was also a celebration of individuality and the beauty of being yourself. 🌟

Now that smells just like team spirit.
Our EC kids jumped here, there, everywhere and not only strengthened their jumping skills but learnt to celebrate achievements together as a team through team games!

Angela Henderson
Principal, OWIS NewtonKey Features of OWIS Newton Campus
Convenient Access for Families with Young Children
Designed for Young Learners
Our modern campus features thoughtfully designed spaces that are student-centric, engaging, and ideal for holistic development — nurturing the academic, emotional and social needs of young learners.
With a balance between academics, outdoor activities, digital learning, and art and music in their daily routines, these little explorers can explore and experiment with the world around them.
A Proven Education Approach
Just like our OWIS Nanyang and OWIS Punggol campuses, OWIS Newton follows an inquiry-led approach that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. Students build essential skills like collaboration, creativity, and communication from an early age in our preschool and primary school classes.
Additionally, we believe that holistic development in early childhood is crucial to nurture well-rounded individuals, which is why we expose students to different disciplines beyond academics, such as music and physical education.
Educators Who Care
Our passionate and experienced teachers are committed to bringing out the best in every child, providing personalised attention and fostering a supportive, inclusive classroom environment.
Additionally, they model our school values of kindness, empathy, and compassion, allowing our students to absorb these qualities by example.
Japanese, Chinese and French as Second Language Options
Students at OWIS Newton have the opportunity to choose from Japanese, Chinese, or French as their second language. This will nurture multilingualism and global awareness from an early age.

Environment that Fosters a Love of Learning
We empower our students to learn and grow. Every student enjoys a hands-on, world-class education that is tailored to meet their needs. We provide them with the room and space they need to become the best version of themselves.
Moderate class sizes in extensive and flexible classroom layouts foster exploration, communication and collaboration.

Every Child a Unique Individual
For us, every child is a unique individual. This is why we personalise your child’s learning journey and focus on their particular progress and needs as a young learner.

Future-Ready Education
Through our hands-on teaching strategies, your child gains foundational 21st-century skills, giving them the confidence and tools they need to succeed in Secondary School and in their higher studies.
Nurturing Diversity
With over 70 nationalities in our student community in Singapore, we seek to nurture cultural sensitivity and international mindedness in our students to help children of all backgrounds to flourish.
