Does the school offer additional languages?

What is the Bilingual Programme about?

The Invictus Centrium Bilingual Chinese Programme aims to develop our learners into confident and effective communicators of the Chinese language, and joyful learners of the Chinese culture. Apart from a substantial amount of time dedicated for Chinese language lessons, students get cultural experiences and develop other skills through our Integrated Chinese Programme. Also, P.E., Art, and Music lessons are also conducted in Mandarin. Year 1 and Year 2 classes are also assigned Bilingual Homeroom Teachers and Teaching Assistants to create a purposeful language-learning environment for the students at school.

Will my child be required to study Chinese at Secondary School?

All students have the option of choosing between Chinese and Spanish at Secondary level. Additional languages are not compulsory at Year 10 and above. Chinese learning is only mandatory for Primary level.

Will additional support be given for Chinese?

For students with little or no foundation in Chinese language, or those who do not meet grade level requirements, we offer the Chinese Bridge, an after-school bridging programme with lessons taking place twice a week. Additional costs apply. Parents of students who are identified for the programme will be notified.

How are Physical Education classes conducted?

Invictus Centrium does not have sporting facilities on campus. However, to ensure that our students continue to enjoy a range of physical activities, we work with partners for external venues near the campus for our P.E. lessons. Our modular P.E. programme for Primary covers Fun and Games, Wushu, Sports Skills, and Swimming for Year 3 – 6, and Fine Motor Skills for Year 1 and 2. The Secondary levels enjoy Sports Skills lessons with a coach once a week.

Is Youth Chinese Test (YCT) administered by the school as part of the assessment?

Invictus Centrium uses YCT as a benchmark to measure attainment of grade level requirements for students’ Chinese learning. The YCT is an international standardised test of Chinese language proficiency. It assesses young foreign students’ abilities to use Chinese in their daily and school life. Students who have attained the required level or its equivalent should present their certificates as documentary proof. The school conducts the assessment annually for students who do not have the required certification.

For Year 3 and above, we will assess the students using the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) and the Global Scale of English Test (GSE).
