Blended Learning @ Greendale
Discover how Greendale Secondary uses Blended Learning to help students grow as independent learners, and find out how you can support your child on Home-Based Learning days.
Greendale Secondary embraces Blended Learning to nurture self-directed and independent learners and empower our students to discover their passion and strengths.
A teaching methodology that integrates technology with teacher-led activities, Blended Learning complements our school programmes and aims to provide students a seamless blend of various modes of learning. One main aspect of Blended Learning is the integration of Home-Based Learning (HBL) as a regular feature of the school experience.

Student-Initiated Learning (SIL)
Student-initiated learning enables our Greendale students to exercise agency, explore their interests and passions, and learn within and beyond the curriculum.
In Greendale Secondary School, we believe learning should not be confined to the formal curriculum.
Through SIL, we aim to enable our students to grow to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers and confident leaders, and to glow in their journey of exploration.
SIL activities students can explore to Grow and Glow at Greendale Secondary School.
We would like to invite our parents to be part of this learning experience with your child. You can find out more on supporting your child during Blended Learning days here.
