Mother Tongue Fortnight
Mother Tongue Fortnight in Townsville is an exciting two weeks where all our students are immersed in a wide range of activities related to Chinese, Malay or Tamil language and culture. Besides attending lessons on traditional culture, our students also take part in games, quizzes, story-telling sessions, food-tasting sessions, fashion shows, attend theatre performances, go on learning journeys, participate in recital competitions or story-telling competitions and so on.
Our students are exposed to knowledge beyond their textbooks and experience the authentic use of the language through these activities.
