Library on Wheels

Library on Wheels is a mobile library initiative that brings the joy of reading directly to students during their recess break. Held once every fortnight, this programme allows students to browse, read, or borrow storybooks after their meals. The books are carefully selected around engaging themes to spark curiosity and cater to diverse reading interests. Library on Wheels encourages a love for reading in a relaxed and accessible environment.

Read@Recess

The Read@Recess storytelling activity invited Primary 1 to Primary 4 students to enjoy engaging and interactive stories during recess. By making reading fun and accessible outside the classroom, this initiative sparked their imagination and helped nurture a lifelong love for books, building confident and enthusiastic young readers.

Reading Quest

Reading Quest is designed for Primary 1 and Primary 2 students to engage with a curated selection of books and express their understanding through creative activities such as book reviews, character analysis, and parent-child reflections. This programme nurtures a deeper appreciation for reading while strengthening the bond between home and school.

Voracious Reader Passport

The Voracious Reader Passport is a self-directed reading programme for Primary 3 to Primary 6 students. It promotes independent reading and exploration through three key components: an activity booklet, a participation booklet, and a reading tracker. This programme aims to inspire a lifelong passion for reading that extends well beyond the classroom.
