KEY PROGRAMMES

The department aims to make the learning of MT languages a joyful and meaningful experience by incorporating authentic learning in its curriculum. We also create a language-rich environment in the classrooms and school language corner to promote fun learning of Chinese language.   Festival celebrations such as Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn, as well as annual Mother Tongue Fortnight are conducted with dedicated groups of Chinese and Malay students and staff members coming together to enjoy, learn and appreciate their Mother-Tongue languages and culture. In addition, we provide platforms for students to expose to competitions, gaining experience and learn from peers from other schools.   Students are selected to embark on Cultural Immersion Programs to China and / or Taiwan. Besides visiting historical and significant places of interest, the highlight of the program was the school immersion experience with the Chinese Primary School. Our students forged strong friendships with their Chinese counterparts as they attended lessons together and learnt together through different cultural enrichment programs such as calligraphy lesson and pottery lesson. Students have learnt to be independent and demonstrated the spirit of GR3IT values during the trip.
