Our Themes – P.R.A.I.S.E
Learning Life Skills and Values Through the Power of Speech and Drama
At Merino’s Kingdom, our themes shape the way we teach and inspire young learners. Through CHAMPS, we nurture essential qualities that help children grow with confidence and creativity.
Courage To Keep Going
Keep trying, never give up!
We encourage children to stay determined and keep going, even when things get tough.
Heart and Thoughtfulness
Understand, empathize and support one another.
Children learn to reflect on their actions, show empathy and sympathy, and find ways to help others in need.
Attitude of Gratitude
Value and respect everyone around us.
We instil gratitude and respect for family, friends, teachers and the world we live in.
Mindful Curiosity
Let curiosity spark communication and discovery.
We nurture a child’s natural curiosity and encourage them to ask questions, share ideas and explore in a safe, open environment.
Problem-Solving
Think outside the box!
Through imaginative play and creative thinking, children develop problem-solving skills and confidence in their ideas.
Shared Involvement
Be focused, involved and work as a team.
Active participation, collaboration and staying present are key to building strong learning habits.

Express, Perform and Shine
Our Pedagogy
"It is not about how smart you are; it’s about HOW you are smart"
Is based on Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligence to engage children in learning.
