The English Resource Centre (ERC) is located on the 2nd floor of our school, next to the activity room. This is the school’s English room – where students can be immersed in an English environment. We offer lunch time activities according to the following schedule:

Mondays: English Café
Students are welcome to come hang out in the ERC. They can order some coffee and a snack while they chat to the English Ambassadors.

Tuesdays: Games and music
Students can come to the ERC to play board games, play on the iPads, watch music videos or even, if they are brave, sing some karaoke.

Wednesdays: Movies and TV shows
Students can come to the ERC to watch some TV shows or movies.

Thursdays: Closed for English Ambassador Meetings

Fridays: Crafts
Come show your artistic side on Fridays, when we will craft, bake and learn some hands-on skills!

The ERC works on a reward system which encourages students to participate in activities and interact in English by awarding stamps that can be redeemed for prizes.  Students can earn stamps in many different ways, not only in the ERC.  Here follows a list of recognised activities:

3 stamps

  • Chat with the NET / Part-time NET
  • Chat with an English teacher
  • Participate in the Speech Festival
  • Attend an activity in the ERC
  • Get 100% for an English quiz

2 stamps

  • Chat with a non-English teacher
  • Chat with the Principal
  • Chat with the Vice-Principal
  • Get above 85% for ABC

1 stamp

  • Chat with an English Ambassador
  • Chat with one of the exchange students
  • Great class performance
  • Read a passage aloud to a teacher
  • Write a book report
  • Get 70%  or above for a composition
  • Get 100% for a dictation
  • Complete I-learner with satisfactory results

Furthermore, for the F1-4 students the stamps are converted to marks that contribute to their daily marks (Mid-year assessment: Listening for F4 students).  Two stamps = one mark, and a maximum of 20 marks can be converted this way.

We hope that everyone will come join us for an activity or five… or hopefully all of them!
