Activities
Our learning
Since each individual is different and with different learning style, we employ various teaching strategies such as discussion, group work, games, shared reading and writing, videos, learning with I-pad and apps to cater for learner diversity. We hope our students can learn best and unfold their potential through learning in our school.
Book Presentation
Pupils do book presentation in class. It motivates pupils to read and build up their confidence in speaking. Pupils also upload their book sharing video clips in apps so that they can have more opportunities to practice.
