Signing of Memorandum of Understanding between Evergreen Secondary and Shanghai Foreign Language School

On the 20th April 2009, our Principal, Mr Chan, signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Shanghai Foreign Language School (SFLS). The signing ceremony took place during the Shanghai-Singapore Principals’ Roundtable Forum held in SFLS, witnessed by many key education personnel. The establishment of partnership with SFLS reflects Evergreen’s commitment to prepare our students for the increasingly globalized world.

Following the signing of the MOU, Evergreen Secondary will be sending the first batch of 40 students to Shanghai Foreign Language School this coming June holidays. This immersion trip will allow students to broaden their horizons and obtain a first hand experience of the rapid pace of China’s development. The experience will also allow students to gain awareness of another culture which will contribute to their unique educational experience in Evergreen Secondary. In turn, we will host the visit from students and teachers of SFLS in July.

We look forward to the success of our partnership with Shanghai Foreign Language School.
