Primary students at Nam Uc Scotch AGS are equipped with a robust foundation in English and numeracy skills, forming the bedrock for all subsequent learning. English serves not only as the primary language of instruction but also as a gateway to global knowledge. In English classes, students develop comprehensive skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing through a variety of enriching activities such as group discussions, short essay writing, storytelling, and collaborative projects.

Equally, numeracy and logical thinking are given special emphasis through mathematics lessons. Students are encouraged to think creatively and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios through problem-solving activities, puzzle games, and small projects. Additionally, they gain early exposure to information technology and computer skills, learning to use basic software and search for information on the internet. This not only solidifies their IT knowledge but also hones their ability to self-learn, search, and process information effectively.

Beyond the Australian curriculum subjects, our dedicated teaching staff nurtures a passion for learning in students through Vietnamese history, geography, and literature lessons. These subjects are taught in Vietnamese, separate from the monolingual English classes, enriching students’ knowledge while preserving their cultural heritage. Moreover, integrating extracurricular activities and creative learning projects into lessons plays a crucial role in nurturing students’ passion for learning. Students participate in discussions, group work, presentations, and academic competitions, which help them develop critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills. Our dedicated and innovative teachers design lessons to spark curiosity and interest in learning. This approach not only equips students with a solid knowledge base but also encourages a spirit of inquiry and a lifelong love for discovery and understanding.

Developing communication skills in a multicultural environment

The school emphasizes language skills during the early years of primary school because this is a crucial time for students to become acquainted with the international learning environment. During this phase, we focus on developing English language skills, particularly in fostering reflexive listening and speaking skills. Students learn phonetics, basic grammar structures, and vocabulary through interactive activities, games, and daily communication practice.

A 100% English learning environment, combined with regular interaction with native teachers, helps students enhance their listening comprehension, speaking reflexes, and the ability to speak confidently and respond accurately. Classroom activities include group discussions, individual presentations, and various connection activities, all conducted in English to create a natural language environment. Additionally, students experience learning through extracurricular activities, competitions, and cultural exchange events, which contribute to their comprehensive language skill development.
