School of Queensland Study Tour

On 29 June 2009, Marshall Cavendish Online, together with Heulab, jointly hosted a visit from Heads and Senior Administrators from 20 independent Queensland schools.

Organised by Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ), the association wanted its members to have first-hand experience on how ICT is being used in Singapore schools.

The visitors first arrived at Furama, Riverfront Hotel, where Mdm Lee Lai Yong, Principal of Radin Mas Primary School- a S4 Cluster Centre of Excellence for IT, gave a presentation on an overview of the school, and how ICT is integrated in the school's curriculum.

They then adjourned to Marshall Cavendish Online's premises, where Assistant General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Jasmond Ng, gave them an introduction to Marshall Cavendish Online. The visitors were definitely impressed with the Marshall Cavendish Online portal and LMS, and many wanted to know how Marshall Cavendish Online could be applied to their local curriculum.

Marshall Cavendish Online definitely looks forward to collaboration with our overseas counterparts in the near future!

Elias Park Learning Journey

Marshall Cavendish Online not only garners interest from overseas counterparts, but locally as well! On 26 June 2009, 40 teachers from Elias Park Primary School arrived at Marshall Cavendish Online for a Learning Journey. Vice Principal, Mrs Han Lee Kwang, attended the session as well.

The objective of the Learning Journey was to learn from organisations on their effectiveness, innovation and enterprise efforts in order to encourage empowerment among the staff, and to foster a spirit of innovation.

Marshall Cavendish Online's General Manager, Mr Chng Eng Leok, gave an inspiring speech on the company's journey to success. He also shared with the teachers on the efforts made to motivate staff.
