iSTAY

iSTAY is a distinctive signature programme and key component of our character development programme in APS. Through iSTAY, we aim for our students to learn valuable life skills and to live out the school’s CARER values taught through the context of communal living via purposefully planned routines, activities and projects. The activities in iSTAY are intentionally planned for students to demonstrate the CARER values and socio-emotional competencies espoused by the school.

This year, with the easing of COVID-19 Safe Management Measures, the Year 4 students stayed overnight for 2 nights during the IEP-iSTAY Programme. This allowed them to practice life skills routines and even learn how they can have healthy meals and lifestyle after work while they were attached to our industry partners during the day. Students, led by their Form Teachers, practised financial literacy on the first night as they planned for their next day’s dinner. The next day after work, with the food they bought, the students enjoyed their dinner together in a very special way.
