Academic Activities
English Themed Weeks
Two times a year, the English Ambassadors organize a themed week with a range of related activities echoing the specific theme.
The annual English Christmas celebration in 2023 featured a stall where students could take Christmas cards and candies to give to their peers and teachers at the festival. Christmas cards were also hung on the railings on campus to allow students and teachers to wish each other a merry Christmas. A handicraft-making workshop was also organized by the NET, teaching students to make small crafts for their parents, teachers and fellow students. Lastly, a Christmas carolling was also held to spread the spirit of joy and sharing on the Friday before Christmas.
