English Week @ SFMS

We celebrated ENGLISH WEEK last week in school with many full-filled and engaging activities! Our talented Primary and High School students also showcased their love for English during our ENGLISH WEEK!

ENGLISH WEEK is a whole-school approach to guide our St Francians towards being more competent and confident in English. With the aim to encourage St Francians to speak and appreciate the use of standard English, our teachers have planned different activities for the students. From captivating skits to a buzzing spelling bee quiz, heartwarming movie sharing, and energetic singing and dancing, we are proud of their growth and confidence in the English language!

SFMS also invited Armour Publishing to organize a Book Fair for our St Francians.

We will continue to make learning English fun and creative for all St Francians at SFMS!
