TIE Programme

Trips for Internationalisation Experience (TIE) Programme

In Townsville, our TIE programme aims to broaden students' horizons through overseas immersion experiences that develop global awareness and essential 21st Century skills.

IN 2025, two overseas trips were organised for groups of P5 and P6 students to Shenzhen, China and Perth, Australia. These overseas learning journeys help our young learners understand diverse cultures whilst deepening their appreciation for Singapore, preparing them to thrive as confident global citizens in our interconnected world.

China – Shenzhen

School: Nanshan OCT Primary School and Shenwan Primary School 

A group of Primary 5 and 6 students visited Shenzhen, China where activities were designed to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Through authentic cultural exchanges, the students interacted with their local peers, broadened their worldview and gained a deeper appreciation of China’s rich heritage and culture.

Australia – Perth

School: Toodyay School

Prior to the visit, students from both schools met online to gett to know one another and discuss shared areas of interest. During the school exchange,  our students engaged in collaborative activities and immersive learning experiences alongside their Australian peers and at Toodyay District High School, Australia. They gained valuable perspectives on environmental stewardship and global sustainability efforts, deepening their understanding of how communities can collectively contribute to a greener planet.

These immersive experiences fostered new friendships whilst cultivating the global mindset essential for tomorrow's leaders. The programme aims to broaden horizons and strengthen our students' confidence as Leaders of Character and Learners for Life.
