About Us

At the heart of our Mother Tongue Languages (MTL) Department are three dynamic language units — Chinese, Malay, and Tamil — each dedicated to nurturing a love for language and culture in our students. We also offer Higher Mother Tongue Languages (HMTL) for students eager to deepen their proficiency and appreciation of their heritage. Higher Chinese and Higher Malay are taught in our school, while Higher Tamil students attend lessons at the respective Language Centres.

At the heart of what we do is a simple belief: every language tells a story — one that connects us to our roots, our families, and our culture. We hope to nurture students who are confident, expressive, and proud of who they are.

Philosophy

“To learn, love and live the language”

乐学善用
Bahasa disanjung, budaya dijunjung
கற்போம்! நேசிப்போம்! வாழும்மொழி ஆக்குவோம்!

We believe every language carries the heartbeat of a culture. Through a rich and authentic curriculum, our department brings languages to life — beyond the classroom walls. From interactive lessons and storytelling to cultural celebrations and immersive experiences, we aim to make learning meaningful, relevant, and fun.

Our Chinese, Malay, and Tamil Units see language as a bridge — connecting our students to their roots, their community, and the world. We seek to instil in them not only linguistic mastery but also a deep sense of identity and pride. By embracing bilingualism, our students don’t just learn their Mother Tongue — they live it.
