Cross Cultural Connections

School Overseas Learning Journey to Sarawak (May 2025)

A group of our Primary 5 students embarked on a meaningful and exciting overseas immersion trip to Kuching, Sarawak last week to deepen their cross-cultural understanding, global awareness and to grow as joyful and curious learners. Through the immersive experiences, school exchanges and cultural discovery, they explored the rich heritage and vibrant life of Sarawak.

Here are some unforgettable highlights:

1. School Immersion & Exchanges – Students visited the Lodge International School and a local national school, where they partake in classroom experiences and interacted with local students.

2. Culture & Heritage – At the Sarawak Cultural Village, students explored traditional tribal homes, participated in cultural performances and crossed the iconic bamboo bridge — a true dive into local heritage.

3. Nature & Adventure – From the awe of Wind Cave to exploring Sarawak’s natural reserves, students immersed themselves in the wonders of nature and biodiversity.

4. Tech & Innovation – At TEGAS Digital Village, our students stepped into the future through hands-on VR experiences, coding challenges and drone and robotics activities — bringing learning to life in engaging ways.

5. Food & Friendship – From delicious local cuisines to sweet treats like kek lapis and ice cream, food became a way to connect, bond and celebrate together.

A Magical Finale – The trip ended with a dazzling fountain show at Darul Hana Bridge — a perfect close to an enriching learning journey.

A heartfelt thank you to our warm and generous hosts in Sarawak! This has been a trip full of learning, laughter and lasting memories. Stay tuned for more photos on our school website.

School Visits - Taiwan & China

Telok Kurau Primary School was delighted to host students and teachers from Taipei Jian Kang Elementary School and Hangzhou Gudang No.1 Elementary School during their recent visit to Singapore on 9^th and 10^th July respectively. As part of their immersion experience, the students joined our Primary 5 classes for lessons in Math, Science and English. They were warmly welcomed by our Primary 5 students, who served as their buddies throughout the visit. Through classroom activities and conversations, both groups had the opportunity to learn more about each other’s countries, school life, and cultures. It was a meaningful and memorable exchange that fostered new friendships and broadened perspectives for everyone involved.
