Applied Learning Programme
North Vista Secondary's Applied Learning Programme connects students to real-world food sustainability through hands-on farming and composting activities, supporting Singapore's Green Plan 2030 goals.
Applied Learning Programme (ALP) 2026
Contextual Theme: Cities and Urban Landscapes
From Farm to Table Programme
Under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, there is renewed emphasis on safeguarding food security in order to build a resilient future for Singapore. North Vista’s ALP focus on sustainable farming allows students to make connections between classroom learning and authentic problems and opportunities that they encounter in everyday life. It also introduces students to STEM-related areas and provides opportunities for students to learn beyond their textbooks, identify their aptitudes and interests, and make informed decisions about their education and career choices in the future.
The ALP Farm-to-Table Programme 2026 consists of 2 tiers:
Table 1: ALP Farm-to-Table Programme tiers and focus areas
Tier | Focus |
|---|---|
1 | All Secondary 1 students engage in high-tech farming and participate in workshops on indoor farming and hands-on sessions to grow edibles using a hydroponics system. Students who have passion and interest in the area may also deepen their learning through learning experiences with other organisations and higher institutions of learning. |
2 | The BioBloom Project is a programme for selected members of the Infocomm Club. Through this programme, students gain a deeper understanding of how food waste can be repurposed to create optimal conditions for worm growth. The compost produced through this process is harvested and used as fertiliser for the school’s edible gardens. |
