PAST & CURIOUS: A LEARNING JOURNEY
FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL
Past & Curious is a curated programme for schools, offering activities that can be adapted to suit different group sizes and learning needs.
At Chinatown Heritage Centre (CHC), we provide an educational gateway into the past where students will explore Chinatown’s historical narratives and gain deeper insights into the lives, struggles, and contributions of early immigrants in Singapore.
Through these experiences, students reflect and develop key competencies such as resilience, responsibility, critical thinking, collaboration, and active citizenship.
