Dear colleagues,

 

Greetings from the Computer Education Unit, CPDD.

 

The National Coding Competition (Primary) was started in 2014 to enthuse primary school students in coding and to provide opportunities for them to apply their coding skills. We would like to thank you for your support for the competition.

 

The competition is organized based on a model with two secondary schools as the main organizers and CPDD as the supporting division. We are very grateful to the following schools for organising the competition and would like to thank them for their contributions:

 

·       Springfield Secondary School (2014-2018)

·       Regent Secondary School (2015-2017)

·       Montfort Secondary School (2018)

 

Recently, we reviewed the competition and scanned the broader environment. We are heartened to note that there is a range of coding competitions organised by various organizations for primary school students. In view that there are ample opportunities for students to participate in coding competitions, we will be discontinuing the National Coding Competition (Primary) with effect from 2019.

 

We hope your school will continue to expose your students in programming by taking part in these competitions. We have listed a few of them below for your consideration.
