Dunearn Secondary School Mother Tongue Department

The Mother Tongue Languages Department oversees the two main Mother Tongue languages offered in the school, Malay and Chinese but also pupils who do Tamil as a second language. Pupils who do non-Tamil Languages such as Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu also comes under the department purview together with the other foreign languages such as German and French. Currently, we also serve as a Chinese Language Syllabus B Centre for neighbouring schools.
