Pupils are provided with differentiated learning experiences and a variety of teaching resources (e.g. newspapers, video clips and other ICT-enabled tools) are used to enhance the teaching and learning of Tamil Language.
Reading Programme
Supplementary reading programme and Buddy Reading are conducted to develop pupils into avid readers.
