MAKING CONNECTIONS - SHARING VISIONS



    The GCP is designed to:
    Prepare students for a global future with the attributes that will allow them to take     
    advantage of the myriad of opportunities abroad while remaining connected and 
    emotionally rooted to Singapore.



GCP Essential Questions:

  • What can we learn about a culture?
  • How does the Brunei community maintain its culture and identity?
  • How does Brunei sustain her economy?
     


GCP Enduring Understandings:

  • Culture is a way of life of a group of people who share similar beliefs and customs?
  • The Brunei community keeps its culture and identity alive by passing down its customs and practices from one generation to the other.
  • Diversifying the economy to meet the current and future needs eases the strain on Brunei's natural resources.

GCP Brunei Objectives:

  • Experience and understand the culture of the people of Brunei.
  • Experience the teaching and learning experience with students in Brunei while forging new friendship.
  • Explore and appreciate the natural landscape and nature in Brunei.
  • Understand how Brunei progresses in the 21st century while still steep in culture and heritage.
  • Understand and appreciate the importance of good bilateral relationships with Brunei as one of the integral member of ASEAN.
