Our NET ~ Miss Hannah

Hello everyone. My name is Hannah Griffiths and I am from the UK. I am excited to be joining S.K.H. St. James’ Primary School this year. I hope you have all had a good summer break and are ready to be back at school.

I will be teaching Primary 1 to 3, focusing on reading, writing, speaking and listening. I’ll be working closely with the local English teachers to help the students learn and grow.

The students will have engaging and interactive English lessons in a positive learning environment, where they will be encouraged to try new things and not be afraid of making mistakes. Most

 of all, students will be stimulated to have an enjoyable learning journey!

Looking forward to meeting you all!
