Applied Learning Programme
From Farm to Table Programme
Under the
Singapore Green Plan 2030, there is renewed emphasis on safeguarding food
security in order to build a resilient future for Singapore. North
Vista’s ALP focus on sustainable farming allows students to make connections
between classroom learning and authentic problems and opportunities that they
encounter in everyday life. It also introduces students to STEM-related
areas, provides opportunities for students to learn beyond their textbooks,
identify their aptitudes and interests and make informed decisions on their
education and career choices in future.
All Secondary 1 students have the opportunity to learn about growing edibles using traditional farming methods. They also learn skills of collaboration and knowledge application as they take charge of the farm plot allocated to their class. Students are able to cook and learn about dishes using the harvested crops.
All Secondary 2 students engage in high-tech farming and participate in workshops on indoor farming and hands-on sessions to grow edibles using a hydroponics system. Students who have passion and interest in the area may also deepen their learning through learning experiences with other organisations and higher institutions of learning.
