VIEWAN XP

VIEWAN XP is a Design Thinking programme that builds pupils' skills in communication, collaboration, and creative thinking. From P1 to P6, pupils tackle real-world sustainability challenges through hands-on design projects.

Last updated 30 July 2026

Description of Signature Programme

Beyond mastering the subject content, we believe that pupils must be equipped in the subject discipline with the necessary skills, dispositions and E21CC competencies to face the future. As they learn best from experience, we strive to enrich their learning through our school-based redesigned VIEWAN XP Design Thinking curriculum.

Outcomes of VIEWAN XP

Development of E21CC with focus on:

  1. Communication and Collaboration skills (E21CC learning progression rubrics)

  • Speaking confidently and empathise with one another

  • Work collaboratively and contributing positively to others

  1. Creative, adaptive and inventive thinking (through design challenge rubrics)

  • Make decision with sound reasoning, reflect on learning and adapt to changes

Pedagogical approaches of VIEWAN XP

Design Thinking (P1 to P6)

  • Deepen element of “ empathy” in communication skills during presentation of projects

  • Design/ Mini Challenge : working collaboratively in designing solutions (e.g. critical, adaptive and inventive thinking) for identified challenge

Interdisciplinary (P5 & P6)

  • Alignment with subject disciplines

Design Challenge aligned to school’s ALP focus on sustainability

  • Inclusive

  • Relatable to pupils

  • Motivating to pupils to want to do something about it

  • Producing human-centred solutions

  • Open-ended and not converge to a single WAGOLL (no fixed solutions)

  • Authentic learning experiences
