Victorious attempt by CHMS BSB students

Chung Hwa Middle School students that scored distinctions.

A group of 40 students from Chung Hwa Middle School, BSB managed to score high distinctions in the International Competitions for Schools (English) 2003, organised by the University of New South Wales. From the group, Rachel Wong Ming Hui was awarded a gold medal for her winning performance.

The school principal, Mdm. Kho Guik Lan was very satisfied with the results as they show the standard of English in the School is improving by leaps and bounds.

The English Department is exploring ways of making teaching and learning English more stimulating. The last five years have been the turning point for the English Department with its implementation of new teaching methods, particularly after the introduction of the 'Reading Scheme'. The scheme introduces students to a variety of literary material with the use of computer assisted teaching and learning strategy, and students now find learning English a fun-filled experience.

Through their access to programmed instructional modules in the PC's, each student is given a chance to progress at his/her own pace. Hopefully, in years to come, when students of this pilot project have reached Form 5, the fruit of our labour would be significantly reflected in the GCE 'O' Level Examination results.
