Key Programmes
Learning Journey to Taman Warisan Our Primary 4 students visited Malay Language Centre of Singapore. The objectives of tour are to enable students to know more about the Malay society in the past and appreciate its heritage. Students were exposed to rich and insightful exhibitions and programmes. Learning Journey to Woodlands Regional Library Our P5 Malay students went to Woodlands Regional Library to watch a play entitled ‘Titah Kontemporari’. The objective of the play was to reiterate the importance of conversing in Standard Malay Language in students’ daily conversations. Students learnt new words and were exposed to an array of cultural performances in the play. It was indeed a fulfilling experience for all students involved. Languages Fiesta took place from 27 July to 6 August. It was an inaugural event in collaboration with the English Department and Mother Tongue Department. Due to Covid-19, we had to ensure that students were able to carry out the activities in a fun yet safe manner. To allow students to appreciate the Mother Tongue Languages, the different levels engaged in a variety of experiential activities. We hope to instill in our students a love for the languages through these diversified experiences.
