“Remote learning, necessitated by unforeseen circumstances, has taught us adaptability and self-discipline” |15 September 2023

“My educational journey at English River secondary school has undergone remarkable transformations, significantly reshaping my academic experience. In 2019, the introduction of an elite class on each level marked a pivotal moment in our school’s evolution. This innovative approach not only challenged us intellectually but also fostered a culture of excellence. “Simultaneously, the school underwent extensive renovations, rejuvenating our learning environment. Modernised toilet facilities, upgraded classrooms equipped with smart TVs and fans, have created a more conducive environment for learning.

“Furthermore, education itself has transformed. Teachers now recognise the multifaceted nature of students, delving into vocational aspects alongside academics, nurturing a holistic development. The infusion of technology into our curriculum has expanded our horizons, allowing us to explore and learn beyond traditional boundaries.

“Remote learning, necessitated by unforeseen circumstances, has taught us adaptability and self-discipline. It has opened new avenues for acquiring knowledge, breaking the shackles of physical boundaries.”
