Reading Mum

To help the upper primary (P4 – P6) pupils who need help in reading will be selected for Reading Mum Programme. This has been conducted on a weekly basis where parent volunteers will come on Tuesdays from 2pm – 3pm helping these pupils in their reading. Currently, this programme is not being carried out due to the Safe Management Measures (SMM). Programme will resume according to the MOE guidelines.
