At Sunlands Primary School, we believe in the future of our learners. Therefore, we pursue every channel to enable each learner to reach his or her fullest potential.

Since 2006 Sunlands Primary School has become a Brain-based school. Staff incorporate several teaching methods and brain smart activities to wake up the brain in order to optimize the learning process of each learner. Movement is included in lessons as it is critical for cognition. It unifies brain levels and provides learners with an opportunity to utilize both sides of the brain which results in whole-brain functioning, as the passing of information between both hemispheres maximizes the storage thereof.

During the morning routine learners have a short break in class where they are allowed to have a healthy snack which feeds the brain, optimize brain activities, concentration and attention span. Learners are allowed to have a water bottle with pure water (not flavoured water) in class to take water sips regularly during teaching time as it keeps the brain hydrated.
