Roadshows

Sekolah Rendah Persediaan Arab

On the 10th of May, we were invited to do a presentation for the lovely students and teachers at Sekolah Persediaan Arab for two consecutive days for the Year 5 and Year 6 students. We were able to show them how to work the app and use the different features to show how it can benefit the students in preparation for their exams. The students were very excited to play along with us and to see what else can be done on the app. It was the very first time for us to present to a larger crowd, and what a crowd it was! The all-girl school was very welcoming and the girls were all so keen to learn. On top of that, it was coincidently International Women’s Day. All in all, it was a lovely experience to be with the students and we will never forget the support and warm welcome we received from the school!
