Chinese Holiday Programmes in Singapore

Yes, a holiday programme can be useful for children who need extra practice in a shorter, more focused period. Parents can choose a programme based on the area their child needs help with, such as oral, comprehension, creative writing or confidence using Chinese.

It depends on the programme selected. Some holiday programmes focus more on academic skills such as comprehension, oral and writing, while others, such as speech and drama or calligraphy, give children a more creative and enrichment-based way to engage with Chinese.

A holiday programme is usually best used as short-term support during the school break. It can help children strengthen specific skills or stay engaged with Chinese, but students who need long-term improvement may still benefit from regular weekly lessons.

Yes, it can still be useful if the child needs extra practice in a specific area or wants more exposure during the school holidays. It gives students additional time to focus on skills that may not receive enough attention during the regular school term.

Parents can start by identifying what their child needs most. To build speaking confidence, the Oral Course or Speech and Drama Class may be more suitable. To strengthen reading and writing, the Comprehension or Creative Writing courses may be a better fit. For cultural and artistic exposure, the Calligraphy Course is worth considering.

If you are unsure which programme suits your child best, you can also speak to our teachers directly. They will consider your child's usual learning progress and performance in our periodic assessments or tests, and recommend a holiday programme that fits more precisely.

Parents should enquire before or early in the school holiday period, especially if they have a preferred course, age group or schedule in mind. This helps confirm programme availability and suitable class options earlier.
