Mr. Colin Sinclair
Head of School
Science and Robotics at Lumio
Our Science Curriculum takes a holistic approach, carefully designed to ignite curiosity and build strong foundations for lifelong learning. These foundations are enriched through our After School Programme (ASP), which offers students extended opportunities to explore, investigate, and apply their scientific understanding in meaningful contexts.
Discover more about how our curriculum comes to life — and what our students have been engaged in over the past few weeks.
Art Week at Lumio
At Lumio School, art is more than just a subject — it’s a dynamic avenue for self-expression, creativity, and cognitive development. Our Art Curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to nurture imagination while cultivating technical skill and artistic confidence.
Explore how our students have been engaging with art and the enriching experiences they’ve recently taken part in.
Campus Update
Keep updated with our latest campus developments, featuring exciting enhancements to the outdoor learning spaces in our Primary area and significant progress on the construction of our new Secondary School facilities. These improvements reflect our ongoing commitment to providing inspiring, purpose-built environments that support high-quality teaching and learning.
Eco-Advocate Update
During the past few weeks our team launched Lumio’s Environmental Impact Programme — a meaningful step towards building a greener, more sustainable future for our community.
As part of this initiative, we’ve strengthened our partnership with City Friends Club, deepening our shared commitment to environmental stewardship. We’re also proud to introduce our newly formed Eco-Advocate Team, comprising enthusiastic students from Grades 1 to 9, who are taking the lead in promoting sustainability across the school.
Explore how our students are making a real difference — one green step at a time.
Internet Safety
As children develop, the media they engage with — from films and TV shows to games and online platforms — can have a powerful impact on their emotional and mental wellbeing.
To help you support your child and make informed decisions about the content they consume, we invite you to explore our Internet Safety Information section for practical advice and trusted resources.
