At MOE’s Committee of Supply Debate in March 2020, MOE launched the National Digital Literacy Programme (“NDLP”) for our schools and Institutes of Higher Learning to help students strengthen their digital literacy.
One of the components of the NDLP is the introduction of the Personalised Digital Learning Programme (“PDLP”) for all secondary school students, where every secondary school student will own a school-prescribed PLD. This microsite provides important information about how you can purchase the PLD for your child/ward.

The school has deployed the Apple iPad w.e.f. 2024. The Apple education ecosystem has matured over the past few years. The school has also tested the device extensively in 2023 for Teaching and Learning.
