Teacher Exchange Programme

Ping Yi Tamil Department collaborated with schools in East Zone to conduct language based activities. The schools are namely, Ping Yi, Bedok Town, Temasek and Bedok View. The highlight of this year’s activity is the Teacher Exchange Programme. It is a platform for the Tamil teachers to collaborate and share their pedagogical skills and resources to enrich students’ learning. All Tamil teachers from the participating schools took turns to host the programme and conducted lessons for all the graduating classes.

Students from 4E/5NA were taught in depth, on each component every first week of the month from January to May, from 3.00 to 5.00pm. Similarly, the 4NA students also went through the programme but only for two sessions because of time constrain. The programme has proven to be successful as the June result of the graduating classes was more than satisfying for all the participating classes.

Competitions

As for competitions, language and talent based competitions, such as essay – writing, singing and oratorical were conducted which provided opportunities for students to showcase their talents. The participating schools took turns to host the competitions. Namely, essay writing was hosted by Ping Yi, Singing Competition by Temasek and Oratorical competition by Bedok View. Our Ping Yians participated in all the competitions enthusiastically and won in all and made us proud.
