Canossa Catholic Primary School Review — P1 Guide & 2026 Updates

About Canossa Catholic Primary School

Canossa Catholic Primary School is a co-ed primary school in Singapore, in the East zone.

It offers 10 CCAs.

School overview

Canossa’s school building was completed in 1941, but war disrupted the intended opening; teaching began in May 1942. It became a government-aided English school in 1951 and later an all-girls school. In 2019 it took boys into Primary 1 and adopted the name Canossa Catholic Primary. The school describes its Canossian education as welcoming children of all faiths and races. Families can explore what its Catholic identity means in daily activities rather than assume it is limited to Catholic pupils.

MAKE @ CCPS has a clear progression from Primary 1 to 4. Primary 1 uses screen-free KUBO robots and direction tiles; Primary 2 creates environmental stories with ScratchJr; Primary 3 makes conservation games with Scratch; Primary 4 uses MakeCode Arcade to create games explaining environmental problems. These are cohort-based activities. Further programming through the InfoComm Club and Interest Week is listed separately for children wishing to go deeper, so tools such as Python should not be presented as something every pupil learns.
