English Language
Our aims are to provide every learner of a second language with further opportunities for extending their knowledge and experience of the culture of other people as well as opportunities for personal and intellectual development, further studies, pleasure, and work in the English medium; and to enable every learner to prepare for the changing socio-economic demands resulting from advances in information technology; these demands include the interpretation, use and production of materials for pleasure, study and work in the English medium.
※ School-based Phonics Curriculum
Our curriculum includes phonics chants, songs, and stories to make learning engaging and enjoyable.
※ School-based Teaching and Learning Materials
Each student receives a Notebook and a Self-Learning Booklet for independent learning. They will also be provided with English Worksheets to practice and reinforce what they have learned. Additionally, each student receives a Vocabulary and Song Book to expand their vocabulary and enjoy singing English chants or songs in school.

※ e-Learning
The Head Start textbook provides an online learning platform for students, enabling them to engage in self-directed learning at home every day.
We have two apps that go along with our Head Start textbook to make learning English fun and interactive. Both apps are simple to use and completely free.
The Head Start AR app uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology, allowing students to use their smartphones or tablets to see digital information on top of printed pages. It has animations, songs, glossaries, and grammar videos.
The Head Start Game app is for Primary 1 to 6 students. It has over 200 exciting games covering phonics, vocabulary, and grammar. Students can improve their vocabulary, learn sounds, and practice grammar through engaging activities like matching, shooting, and card games. The games are categorized for easy access based on learning goals.
※ the NET Schemes
The NETs (Native English Teachers) bring their professional experience, unique teaching styles, and cultural knowledge to local schools, enhancing students' language learning experiences. They work together with our local teachers to establish an authentic English learning environment, fostering children's interest in English and laying the foundation for lifelong learning. All students have weekly lessons with our NET teachers at school.
All students in Primary 1 to 3 have two English lessons per week with our NET teacher, Miss Bernadette, under the EDB NET Scheme.
All Primary 1 students have four English lessons per week with our NET teacher, Miss Hina, and our English teachers under the school-based NET Scheme.
All students in Primary 4 to 6 have a weekly English reading lesson with our NET teacher, Miss Hina, under the school-based NET Scheme.
