XCL World Academy Opens New Early & Primary Years Campus in Singapore
New learning spaces advance XWA’s “Academy of the World” vision, integrating bilingual education and AI literacy from the earliest years.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 October 2025 – XCL World Academy (XWA), a leading international school in Singapore, has opened a new Early & Primary Years campus. Designed for children aged 18 months to 11 years, it nurtures globally minded, bilingual, and future-ready learners through inquiry-led education and thoughtful use of AI and technology.
The ceremony was officiated by Dr. Syed Harun Alhabsyi, and Ms. Lee Hui Ying, Members of Parliament for Nee Soon GRC, and Advisors to Nee Soon GRC Grassroots Organisations, as well as distinguished guests from various embassies, chambers of commerce, and the wider community. Also in attendance were XWA’s educators, students, and families to celebrate this momentous occasion.
“We at XWA interpret education as a pathway to lifelong learning, beyond exams and we prioritise education that equips students for life, not just academic tests,” said Head of School, Tammy Murphy. “This new campus encourages young learners to explore ideas, use technology creatively, and connect what they learn to the world around them”, added Tammy.
Positioned as Singapore’s Academy of the World, XWA embeds AI literacy, bilingual pathways, and future-ready competencies from the earliest years through an inquiry-based IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the school’s signature XCLerate framework. XCLerate integrates six pillars – Creative Arts, Global Citizenship, Student Leadership, Community Action Service, Entrepreneurship & Financial Literacy, and Digital Literacy – to develop confident, adaptable learners.
From as early as four, students begin developing foundational digital and problem-solving skills through the XCLerate framework. This framework teaches them how to ask good questions, think critically, and explore how technology can be used creatively and responsibly. These early experiences lay the groundwork for more advanced, future-focused learning as they progress through their grades.
Complementing this is XWA’s bilingual programme (English-Chinese), where two native-speaking teachers co-teach each class – one in English and one in Chinese – to build fluency and confidence in both languages. Students also have access to language acquisition programmes and home language options in French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, supporting a multicultural environment that strengthens communication, cultural understanding, and creative thinking to ensure students build both human and technical skills to thrive in a digital-first world.
Singapore continues to strengthen its position as a global hub for education and innovation. Schools across the nation, including international ones like XWA, play an important role in translating national ambitions into everyday learning. Reflecting this momentum, XWA’s approach to early learning combines technology, bilingual learning, and human-centred values to help children navigate an increasingly digital-first world.
Speaking at the event, Dr Syed Harun said “Education today is not merely a transference of knowledge, but also about developing values like resilience, empathy, and social acumen with both our peers and the community around us. In doing so, it prepares children for a world that brings diversity, variety, and change. International schools like XWA add to the richness of Singapore’s educational landscape and tapestry, bringing global perspectives while engaging the local community here at Nee Soon.”
Ms Lee Hui Ying added “Strong families and supportive communities give our children the confidence to thrive. This new campus reflects how future-ready learning, together with inclusive bilingual education and genuine care for each child can lay strong foundations for lifelong growth. Schools such as XWA play an important role in nurturing our young learners, bringing families and the Nee Soon community closer together.”
Tammy added “We want our students to grow into leaders who use innovation to make life better for others. Whether they’re four or fourteen, our goal is to help them approach technology, and the world around them, with curiosity, responsibility, and compassion, and to see innovation as a way to make a difference.”
The campus also includes dedicated spaces for arts, design, science, and well-being, alongside outdoor learning environments, a multi-purpose gymnasium, an Innovation Hub and a dedicated eSports arena – among the first of its kind in an international school in Singapore – designed to foster teamwork, strategy, and digital literacy through play. Together these spaces, including the dedicated science labs for Early and Primary Years, ensure every child’s growth is supported academically, creatively, and emotionally.
During the opening, guests celebrated the opening with student showcases in the arts, music, dance and service, exemplifying how the XCLerate programme connects learning with real-world impact. The new facilities mark XWA’s continued commitment to developing confident, empathetic, and future-ready global citizens ready to lead change.

Technology + Scenario + Supply Chain = A New Benchmark for Regional Zero-Carbon Smart Transportation
Wing Kai New Energy X QIJI Energy X C&D Hi-Tech
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2026 – The 19th (2026) International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Exhibition & Conference (SNEC 2026) was grandly held from June 3 to 5, 2026, at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). Attracting over 3,000 exhibitors from 95 countries worldwide, the event stands as the largest and most influential professional grand gathering for the photovoltaic and energy storage sectors across Asia and globally.
During the exhibition, Mr. Yiu Wang Lee, Chairman of the Board of Wing Lee Development Construction Holdings Limited (“Wing Lee” or the “Group”, stock code: 9639.HK); Mr. Cai Huihui, General Manager of Wing Kai New Energy Technology Co., Limited (“Wing Kai New Energy”); Mr. Wang Yi, Key Account Manager of QIJI Energy; Mr. Xu Jun, Overseas Energy Storage Commercial Director of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL); and Mr. You Yuxian, ASEAN Regional Energy Storage Sales Director of CATL, jointly visited the exhibition booth of C&D Hi-Tech. The delegation engaged in in-depth discussions with the team led by General Manager Mr. Zhan Shengli, focusing on battery swapping station projects in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. By integrating multi-party resources, the teams successfully finalized and signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement.
Through this signing, the three parties will join forces to address and resolve the industry pain points of overseas markets regarding regulatory compliance, engineering infrastructure, and supply chain coordination. The collaboration represents a deep integration of QIJI Energy’s cutting-edge battery swapping solutions, Wing Kai New Energy’s localized infrastructure and operational capabilities across Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and C&D Hi-Tech’s robust global resource allocation strengths. Moving from single-project development to an ecosystem of mutual win-win, this partnership will significantly enhance the delivery efficiency of green energy across Hong Kong, Macau, and the Southeast Asian region, setting a brand-new benchmark for regional zero-carbon smart transportation.
As a subsidiary of Wing Lee, Wing Kai New Energy has been rooted in Hong Kong since its inception while radiating its presence globally, deeply cultivating sustainable clean energy solutions. Addressing the acute pain points in the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asian markets, where rapid fluctuations in energy prices have led to surging cost pressures for logistics distribution enterprises, Wing Kai New Energy will focus on urban distribution logistics battery swapping businesses in the future. The company plans to integrate site resources, infrastructure, and operations to fill the gap in regional infrastructure. We firmly believe that this cooperation will effectively bridge the cross-border green energy eco-link, accelerate the construction of a green energy service network, and contribute solidly to the realization of the “dual carbon” goals. Meanwhile, we sincerely invite more partners to join the Zero-Carbon Smart Alliance to jointly advance sustainable development.

The delegation of over 70 business and institutional leaders from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland is the largest and most diverse overseas mission led by the current term of the HKSAR Government so far.
Speaking to the media in Uzbekistan yesterday (June 4), Mr Lee set out the three main objectives of the visit: further explore emerging markets and lay the foundation for long-term economic and trade development; strengthen government-to-government (G2G) relationships and promote closer bilateral co-operation; and build a “hub-to-hub” model of co-operation.
He said the visit had been successful, yielding achievements in eight areas, including:
- Establishing high-level contacts and ties between the HKSAR Government and the Governments of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and reaching consensus on co-operation in multiple areas;
- A total of 96 co-operation agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) were reached during the visit (61 with Kazakhstan, 35 with Uzbekistan), involving specific amounts exceeding US$1.65 billion in total;
- The governments agreed to commence bilateral discussions on agreements in various areas;
- Deepening project matching and research collaboration between Hong Kong and Central Asian region in areas including finance, innovation and technology (I&T), and aviation;
- Demonstrating Hong Kong’s effective role as a platform for going global and achieving substantial results, with Hong Kong and Mainland enterprises joining forces in tapping new markets and bringing synergistic advantages into full play;
- Facilitating more convenient people-to-people exchanges by promoting direct flights, aviation and transport co-operation, and extensions to the mutual visa-free period;
- Promoting exchanges in education, talent and culture to further deepen people-to-people bonds; and
- Advancing a hub-to-hub co-operation model to open up broader room for co-operation between Hong Kong and the Central Asian region.
While in Tashkent (June 3-5), Mr Lee met with local leaders, government officials and business representatives to deepen co-operation between Hong Kong and Uzbekistan in areas including trade, investment, finance, I&T, and people-to-people exchanges.
Mr Lee held meetings with the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, his Advisor on Strategic Development, Sardor Umurzakov, the Prime Minister, Abdulla Nigmatovich Aripov, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister, Jamshid Khodjayev, to exchange views on furthering mutual co-operation.
Mr Lee highlighted that under the “one country, two systems” principle, Hong Kong enjoys both the China advantage and the global advantage. He said that Hong Kong would continue to play its roles as a “super connector” and a “super value-adder” to further deepen co-operation and exchanges with Uzbekistan on various fronts in line with Uzbekistan’s goal of achieving high-quality development.
Earlier (June 3), Mr Lee met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, Bakhtiyor Saidov, after which they jointly witnessed an exchange of notes between the two places on a mutual visa-free arrangement, which would allow a visa-free period of 30 days for visitors from both sides.
“Moreover, we are glad to have initialed the Air Services Agreement with Uzbekistan, and look forward to launching direct passenger flights between the two places soon,” Mr Lee said, during a high-level business dinner (June 4). The Chief Executive pointed out that Hong Kong and Uzbekistan are important trade and investment gateways to their respective regions – the Asia-Pacific and Central Asia.
“It helps that we are all believers in the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, a modern expression of the ancient Silk Road spirit,” Mr Lee said. “Today, China is Uzbekistan’s largest trading partner, and the two countries work closely on major infrastructure and connectivity projects that are revitalising the Silk Road. Hong Kong is a pivotal player in the B&R Initiative, thanks to our world-class professional and financial services expertise.”
The delegation also toured the IT Park Uzbekistan and the Center for Islamic Civilization before concluding its visit in Tashkent.
