Our preschoolers recently took part in the highly anticipated Chinese Language Festival 2022/2023 organised by the English Schools Foundation. This event was co-hosted by the Education University of Hong Kong and China International Education. Over 200 schools from 18 different countries participated in the festival. This event provided an opportunity for displaying language proficiency and cultural awareness.
7 young learners from The Grange stood out among the competition, receiving a total of 15 awards. Among which, Aoba Toyokura (Kindergarten 1) and Tsukino Ikura (Kindergarten 2) won champions in individual categories.
Check out our list of winners below.
Ms Chen Lih Jiun, our very own Mandarin Language teacher took home two awards, emerging as Champion in the Teacher Capability category, and the Excellent Teacher Award.
The Teacher Capability Award was given to Ms. Chen after a panel of judges evaluated a submitted video and lesson plan. She was commended for her effective communication in Chinese and English, displaying commitment to inclusivity with students of diverse language backgrounds. Her clear and precise teaching philosophy demonstrated exceptional expertise in the subject.
The Excellent Teacher Award was given due to the outstanding number of awards her students have won.
We applaud our Mandarin students and Ms. Chen for their extraordinary achievements and express our heartfelt congratulations on their well-deserved achievements in this internationally-recognised competition.
