Programme Overview
Learning for Life Programme - HEROES@YTPS
The school's Learning for Life Programme (LLP), known as HEROES@YTPS (Holistic, Enriching, and Rewarding experiences in Outdoor Education and Sports), creates an environment where students can build a strong foundation for continual growth, leading to enhanced physical, social and emotional wellbeing. The programme integrates school values, social-emotional competencies, civic literacy, global awareness and cross-cultural skills—essential elements for 21st-century learning. Students demonstrate these acquired skills through major annual sporting events, cohort outdoor learning journeys and Co-curricular Activities.
Through immersive participation in physical activities and nurturing a lasting enthusiasm for sports and outdoor pursuits, students embrace the HEROES@YTPS ethos. The programme provides comprehensive opportunities for developing fundamental motor skills, exploring diverse sports, engaging in recreational activities and excelling in competitive events.
Outdoor education centres on cultivating ruggedness and resilience. Students embark on a progressive journey exploring Singapore's varied landscapes, beginning with structured learning in familiar neighbourhoods and advancing to more challenging environments. Our carefully crafted age-appropriate outdoor challenges develop crucial skills in navigation, safety awareness and teamwork, while fostering environmental appreciation and adventure-based cooperative learning.
This holistic approach empowers students to make informed choices based on their interests and abilities, while developing the knowledge, skills and mindset needed for an active lifestyle. These experiences become powerful platforms for character development, nurturing team spirit and responsibility, while fostering social integration and racial harmony.
Key Programmes
Our little explorers went to HortPark and got really close to nature, creating meaningful land art and learning together under colourful parachutes. Every moment was filled with laughter and purpose. They forged friendships and discovered the beauty of nature around them. What a meaningful outdoor exploration they had together!

Our P2 cohort went on a Neighbourhood Walk to familiarise themselves with local facilities and to foster a deeper appreciation for their community. As the students explored the thoughtful, inclusive infrastructure of their neighbourhood, they also put their outdoor education skills into action through hands-on orienteering and landmark navigation.
Our P3 students visited Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and got up close with nature. Through this learning journey, they were encouraged to participate actively in outdoor activities and cultivate a lifelong love for sports and the outdoors. They also had the opportunity to develop essential skills such as resilience, self-discipline, and self-confidence, while building a deeper appreciation for nature and strengthening their ruggedness through perseverance.

Our Primary 4 students participated in a learning journey combining a Museum-Based Learning experience at the National Gallery Singapore and a Soundscape Heritage Orienteering Trail along the Singapore River. As part of their Outdoor Education programme, they will have the opportunity to build their map reading skills and spatial awareness through outdoor navigation activities along the heritage trail.
The P6 students enjoyed a day of SUN 🌞, SAND 🏖️ and SEE👀! Seeing how we can conserve marine biodiversity through keeping our beaches clean. Playing games that they designed under the Sun and last but not least, keeping our Singapore clean with litter picking. All these activities are part of the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) that encourages our students to be more active outdoors and build ruggedness through play!
