Humanities
In PLMGS, the Humanities department develops students through
Inquiry-Based Learning. In History, students are exposed to Singapore’s
past and the forces that shaped international History and helps students
gain the skills and knowledge necessary to be critical thinkers and
responsible citizens by learning how to evaluate the information they
encounter and question its source and reliability. In Geography
students, are exposed to issues affecting environment and people’s lives
now and in the future. In Social Studies, we seek to ignite student’s
curiosity to inquire about the real world issues that impact their
lives. Through inquiry and authentic learning experiences, Social
Studies helps students to attain relevant knowledge and understanding
about these issues, develop critical and reflective thinking skills, and
appreciate multiple perspectives.
