HONSBRIDGE ROADSHOW 21-27 SEPTEMBER 2017

Over the weekends from 21 st September onwards, Honsbridge organizes a roadshow at Sunway Giza in Kota Damansara where we promote Honsbridge International for new intakes. We set our booth right outside the Village Grocer where shoppers pass by often. Day and night we work tirelessly to promote our learning centre, despite strong winds and technical difficulties. Malaysians from all over, including parents, drop by our booth intrigued by what we have to offer. We offer the best Cambridge IGCSE and O Levels this side of Kota Damansara, including the Express IGCSE, where Honnets can study and learn within the span of 2.5 years instead of the usual 4, faster and more efficient than typical schools. Honsbridge also offers extracurricular activities such as dance clubs, field trips, camp, Sports Day, music, games and many more! For those who’ve missed our roadshow, do drop by Honsbridge International for more information about our Cambridge IGCSE and O Levels.
