Mother Tongue Fortnight
The MTL Fortnight is an initiative started by MOE since 2011 to provide opportunities for all schools in Singapore to engage students in the learning and use of their mother tongue languages outside the context of their daily academic lessons. A wide range of activities are organized & all pupils are involved in different activities designed for them.
Twinning Programme with Beihang School (Incoming & Outgoing)
Our school has established a Twinning Programme with the Beijing Beihang Elementary School since 2007. It aims at providing our P5 pupils with the opportunity to learn the language from its country of origin and experience its culture at the same time.
The team of pupils and teachers from Beijing also visit our school annually. They get to experience Singapore’s way of life by interacting with their buddies from P5.
