Head of Primary English

I am delighted to say that our pupils excelled in the WCEC English competition. In Year 3 we won top honours, with runners-up from Years 2, 3, and 6.  Against a pool of the top international schools in Asia, three of our pupils were champions of our in-house competition and progressed to the final FOBISIA Poetry Competition. 

We yielded similar positive results in the English FOBISIA Short Story Writing Competition, with Year 2 and Year 6 pupils progressing into the final round. Additionally, four of our pupils advanced to the national round of the prestigious Spelling Bee of China in Beijing.
