At Del Monte, we believe that mathematical application and creative problem-solving are key to developing critical thinking and communication skills. Through our Thomas Aquinas Scholars Program we offer a range of engaging programs and contests where we nurture students’ ability to reason and justify their ideas while tackling complex problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This term, Primary students have embraced the challenge of mathematical problem-solving through exciting competitions such as Maths Explorer, Maths Games, and Maths Olympiad<\/strong>. These contests not only sharpen their analytical skills but also inspire a love for mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, our\u00a0Writers’ Club<\/strong>\u00a0is off to a fantastic start! Students from Year 2 to Year 4 have come together to hone their creative writing abilities. Last week, they explored sensory descriptions to bring scenes to life, culminating in the creation of tension-filled paragraphs that kept their readers on edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through both mathematical and literary pursuits, our students are building confidence, creativity, and resilience in their learning journey. We look forward to seeing their continued growth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
