Innova Parent Support Group (iPSG) was formed in 2009. Their bond with the school is so strong that some of them remain as iPSG members even though children have graduated.

Innova Primary school was officially opened by Dr. Maliki Osman in 2010. It signified the commitment of the school to nurture, grow and equip the students with the 21CC skills, values and competencies to thrive in the VUCA world.

In 2015, Ms Windersalem became the principal of Innova Primary School. She continues to have the strong support of the School Advisory Committee members till today.

School History

Innova Primary School was established in 2008 at Woodlands Drive 17 to serve the community in Woodlands. The school believes that every Innovian is a champion who embraces the ‘can do’ spirit and dares to dream. The school envisions itself as an inspirational, innovative and inviting school where its student outcomes are to be champions of character, change and citizenry. 

Its Applied Learning Programme, Creative Problem Solving (CPS), adopts the FourSight Model. It progresses from the acquisition of basic CPS skills of working in teams to higher-level skills of planning and implementing of the ideas. This is the cornerstone of the school’s ALP, which aims to achieve 21st-century competencies for students. The programme develops students’ creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills through integration into the various subjects. At the end of each year, students celebrate their learning by presenting their projects to their parents and peers. 

Innova’s Learning for Life Programme is aligned with the Character and Citizenship Education curriculum to develop students into morally upright individuals and useful citizens through the inculcation of the I-STAR values. It aims to grow Innovians into caring, compassionate and empathetic citizens who will lead and inspire others to make a difference in the lives of others and the community at large while staying rooted to Singapore. 

Innova Primary School continually strengthens its partnership with the parents and the community to create more varied and holistic learning experiences to bring out the best in students. The school works closely with Innova Parents Support Group to develop a range of activities to provide opportunities for the parents to bond with their children. 

Principals:
- Mr Michel Saw (2008–2014)
- Ms Windersalam S. Devi (2015–present)

Key Milestones

School Motto

Dare to Dream

School Crest

This is the school where stars and champions are born, and anchored on values. We hope to inspire in them the passion for life-long learning, ability to adapt to changes and imbue in them the desire, discipline and dedication as a committed individual with a global mindset.

The letter ‘I’, which begins from the base as a stroke of a paint brush, represents the importance of being anchored on values and purpose. As it reaches the top, the digitised format represents being relevant to the present and ready for the future. The orange colour symbolises the vibrant and dynamic environment in the school. The red star, which is dancing and rejoicing, represents a bright and happy student of Innova celebrating success. It embodies the Chinese name of Innova, 星烁小学, which connotes the potential of the students to be bright and shining stars.

School Song

Verse 1
We aim for excellence, with the base of integrity
We are young, we dare to dream, we do believe

We’ll be champions of character
To always strive to be better
We serve our Nation with pride and passion; regardless where we are

Verse 2
We have the strength to persevere, we know we can achieve
We are young, we dare to dream, we do believe

We will be champions of change
We can rise to challenges
We will realize our potential; let’s lead by example

Innova is our name
This is the school to be
Working hand in hand
Help each other to succeed

Innova is our name
I-STAR in you and me
Together we create
Our future for all to see
We dare to dream
