Introduction to the Twinning programme

On 30 May 2006, the Principal of Serangoon Secondary School, Mr Yeo Kuerk Heng together with 2 teachers, Mdm Duan Haijie and Mdm Ong Chan Hong went to Beijing to establish the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Beijing 109 Middle School.

The objectives of this MOU is to embark on an Exchange Programme involving students and teachers of both schools in a framework of cooperation between Serangoon Secondary School and Beijing 109 Middle School to develop mutually beneficial programmes that leverage on each other’s strengths.

Students selected for this programme will attend lessons and visit places of interests for cultural exposure. This will allow students to appreciate the different cultures and learning environments in both places. In addition, students will be able to learn the good practices from each other. In particular, our students will focus on building up the competency in Mathematics while the China students will benefit from the English learning environment. Activities planned include the involvement of the students in Community Involvement Programme, such as sharing of experiences and setting up websites to provide a convenient platform for interaction. This will help to foster closer interaction between the students of both schools.

The duration of the Exchange Programme is Three years and the inaugural trip will commence in 28 May 2007.
