In our inaugural year of operations, these CCA excursions are offered as part of the curriculum at no extra cost to parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Thoughtfully-Designed Co-Curricular Activity Programme at OWIS Newton<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no such thing as Monday blues at OWIS Newton! On the first day of the week, students across all grades of the school are excited to head out together to visit educational places of interest close to the campus. These locations are chosen with careful consideration, not just in terms of proximity,\u00a0 but also to strike a balance between nurturing appreciation of different cultures, encouraging movement and physical activity, as well as fostering creativity.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs Angela Henderson explained, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no better way to begin the week than by putting connection, exploration, and adventure first. Our urban campus opens the door to a world of cultural, educational, and sporting experiences just beyond our classrooms.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the highlights of the CCA programme is the monthly visit to the National Library in Victoria Street. These trips are more than just reading excursions\u2014they are carefully structured experiences that empower students to take ownership of their learning. During each visit, students independently select books that interest them, manage their own belongings, and take responsibility for borrowing and returning materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-800x450.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-500x281.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/photo_2026-01-14_23-36-59-1-100x56.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through this process, they actively practise important skills such as organisation, record-keeping, note-taking, and double-checking information. Students also document their books by writing their names and book titles on library check-out cards, reinforcing early literacy and accountability. Capturing photos with their chosen books further helps them remember their selections and encourages a deeper connection with reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outdoor learning at OWIS Newton also includes enriching experiences that promote physical development, collaboration, and social-emotional growth. A recent visit to the water park at Toa Payoh Community Club provided students with a joyful environment to play, explore, and build friendships. As they splashed, slid, and laughed together, students demonstrated teamwork, kindness, and mutual support\u2014key values that are nurtured throughout their learning journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50272 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore-300x261.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore-768x667.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore-800x695.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore-345x300.jpeg 345w, https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/OWIS-Newton-Students-at-Superpark-CCA-Excursion-International-School-in-Central-Singapore-100x87.jpeg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another example would be the trip to SuperPark, which takes place every two months. At this popular indoor play area, students engage in a variety of active play experiences, from trampolining to sports games. These activities not only support physical health but also encourage resilience, confidence, and teamwork as students challenge themselves and support their peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another recent CCA outing, students visited Chinatown, where they volunteered at a community garden. This hands-on experience introduced them to environmental awareness and sustainability. By transplanting white radish plants and observing pollinating insects, students gained a deeper understanding of how nature works and the important role plants play in cleaning the air. Such real-world experiences help children connect classroom learning with everyday life, making concepts more meaningful and memorable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through these diverse CCA outings,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OWIS Newton Campus continues to prioritise experiential learning, giving students the opportunity to step outside the classroom and into a world of discovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To find out more, join our <a href=\"https:\/\/owis.org\/sg\/admissions\/events-and-webinars\/owis-newton-open-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upcoming Open House at OWIS Newton<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 data-section-id=\"1qsfy1n\" data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1052\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1319\"><strong data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1097\">1.
