Our Cambridge 6F students learned a variety of idioms and creatively applied them through a storyboard activity. It was a fun and engaging way to enhance their understanding of figurative language while showcasing their creativity!

In appreciation of their dedication, passion, and commitment to shaping young minds, the teachers and administrative staff of ELC came together to celebrate Teachers’ Day in a joyful gathering at Ling’s Signature. Everyone enjoyed a delightful buffet lunch filled with laughter, fellowship, and gratitude.

The occasion also included a special celebration for our teachers born in the month of May. During the event, our Director, Dr Valerie encouraged everyone to give their very best in all that they do, sharing an inspiring reminder from the Holy Scriptures. Mdm Christina also shared a meaningful quote by William Arthur Ward:
“A mediocre teacher tells; a good teacher explains; a superior teacher demonstrates; a great teacher inspires.”

Thank you, ELC teachers, for your unwavering dedication and the positive impact you make each day. Bravo to all our amazing educators!

It was a great pleasure for ELC to host a virtual meeting this morning with 49 head teachers and headmasters from government schools across Sarawak.

During the session, we shared ELC’s vision, mission, curriculum, teacher development initiatives, and the key factors that contribute to the school’s continued success and growth.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr Val for her unwavering support, and to Dr Rosaline for her valuable insights and contributions in making the meeting a meaningful and successful one.

📚✨ May exams are officially underway!

Wishing all our students the very best as they give their best effort and showcase what they’ve learned. Stay focused, stay confident, and keep pushing forward—you’ve got this! 💪📝

✨ Empowering Our Educators at ELC ✨

Professional development continues to be a cornerstone at ELC, equipping our teachers with new strategies to enhance lesson delivery, strengthen classroom management, and model effective teaching practices.

We were honoured to have our guest trainer, Ms Andrea Noakes, who shared valuable insights on the importance of building strong teacher-student relationships alongside high-quality teaching skills — a powerful combination that fosters effective learning and reduces classroom behavioural challenges.

She also highlighted key concepts such as the learning pit and the role of formative assessment in supporting student progress.

A heartfelt thank you to Ms Andrea Noakes for such an inspiring and impactful session! 🌟

🧸🎉 Toy Shop Role-Play Fun in P2SPM2!

Our P2SPM2 students turned the classroom into a lively toy shop as they took on the roles of shopkeepers and customers! 🛍️✨
They practised useful phrases like “Can I help you?” and “Yes. I'd like a toy car, please.” while building their confidence in speaking.

It was wonderful to see them engaging, interacting, and learning through play — all while having so much fun! 😄👏

👨‍🏫✨ Mr. Theodore led the Secondary 3WW class in mastering the use of the present passive through an engaging lesson on presenting recipes. Students explored different cooking methods and enjoyed a lively pair work activity where they created and shared their favourite dishes. 🍳🥗

Learning was both fun and meaningful! 🎉📚

📚✨ The Oxford 4MM2 class had an engaging and dynamic lesson as they explored useful phrases to persuade others to read their chosen books. Students actively discussed ideas and worked together to reach amicable decisions, followed by a friendly and lively debate.

They also learned how to use the modal verbs ‘can’ and ‘be able to’ across the past, present, and future. The lesson ended on a high note with an exciting Kahoot game that everyone thoroughly enjoyed! 🎉

👏 Thank you, Mr.Leon, for such a well-organised and interactive lesson!

☀️🌈 Our little Pre-Primary stars explored the wonders of the weather and the sky, then had fun discovering the phonics sound ‘m’! ✨📚

It was also their first time using their new book, Basic Reading Comprehension, and they were thrilled to read together and answer simple comprehension questions. Learning has never been this exciting! 💫
