Important Update 27 Sept 2021
Dear Bunka Students, 
With regards to the latest COVID announcement from the government on 24th September 2021, we are glad to inform you that we are targetting to roll out the brand new hybrid class format from 4th October onwards. In the meantime, all in-person lessons from 27th September to 3rd October will still be conducted in-person.
What Exactly Is The HYBRID Class Format?
You now have the choice of whether or not you wish to go online or in-person.
🔥 Too busy with work and can’t make it down in time? NO PROBLEM!
🔥 Not feeling too well, but well enough to participate in a class? NO PROBLEM!
🔥 Just don’t feel like going out? NO PROBLEM!
Simply attend the class online!
👍 YES, you can still participate in the class activities.
👍 YES, your classmates will be able to see you and hear you.
👍 YES, it would be almost as if you were right there with your classmates!
WOW! 🤩
So What Does This Mean For You?
It means options. It means that you get to choose. It means freedom to be where ever you want to be.
We have already tested out the system with an Elementary 3 in-person class here’s what your fellow students had to say!
“I now have the flexibility of choosing to go physical class or attend online according to work schedule”
“I would sign up (for another hybrid class), especially during this COVID situation that we don’t have to miss class/join a replacement class even if we are self-isolating/health monitoring.”
We’re really excited and looking forward to seeing you at your hybrid class experience soon! We thank everyone for your support and patience.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
Best Regards

[5 August 2021 Update] Resumption of Bunka Language School's In-Person Classes

Dear Bunka Student,

It is with deep regret that we inform you of the decision to delay the opening of in-person courses to the 16th of August 2021(Monday). This is due to a positive case of COVID detected on the 1st level in the Delfi Orchard building in Starbucks. This difficult decision was made after long and deep deliberation by the board of directors.

We always have our student’s safety as our top priority. In the meantime, Delfi Orchard management has informed us that Starbucks will be doing their own sanitization.

In the meantime, the current prorated arrangement will continue.

We understand that everyone is looking forward to resuming in-person classes, and sincerely apologize for the disappointment caused due to this delay.

Lastly, we would like to get a sensing of what you feel about the situation. Please fill out this 2-question survey which will take you no more than 1 minute.

This is an update with regards to the 7th July COVID-19 announcement from the government. It is Bunka’s intention to place our students’ safety at the highest priority, as well as to provide the highest quality of education for our students.

[2 July Announcement] Pro-rated Credit For All Affected In-person Classes

Dear Bunka students

After further discussions regarding the pro-rated fee arrangement that Bunka announced on 28 June 2021, Monday, we are glad to inform you that it will now apply to all students who continued to attend the in-person classes online; all of our in-person classes were converted online since 18 May 2021, Tuesday.

This is how the pro-rated credit amount will be calculated. Please note that the amount will only be confirmed after your class ends or once Bunka resumes in-person.

 

Calculation for Elementary to Intermediate classes:

Pro-rated credit amount = (Original course fee of in person class – Online Price) / total number of lessons in that course x number of lessons conducted online

 

For Pre-Advanced to Business Japanese courses, as we do not have online classes originally, the pro-rate credit amount will be calculated this way.

 

Calculation for Pre-Advanced to Business Japanese classes:

Pro-rated credit amount = (Original course fee of in person class – 90% of the original course fee of in person class) / total number of lessons in that course x number of lessons conducted online

 

We would like to everyone for the feedbacks you have shared with us and for your continued support during this period. We will continue to work on providing you great service to the best of our ability.

Revision of Course Fees (28 April 2021)

Dear Bunka Students

Thank you for the continued support throughout these years. 2020/2021 has been a challenging year not only for Bunka but for many other businesses as well.

COVID has greatly affected our intake capacity, in turn, greatly affecting our business revenue. After great deliberation, the management has decided that a small increase in class fees will need to be put in place in order to secure Bunka’s survival.

With effect from 1st June 2021 10 AM, we will implement an across-the-board increase in our course fees due to the aforementioned.

Please make payment for the next course you have registered for under the current rate by 31st May 2021. The discount entitlements in the loyalty cards remain and our in-person courses are still SkillFuture credit claimable.

Please feel free to contact us at 6737 3601 or course@bunkalang.com should you have any queries.

Sincerely

Students will have to go for the replacement class within 60 calendar days from initial course run end date they were enrolled in.

As you may have known, MOE has issued a notice for schools and education centres to default to online class arrangements. As such, we will do our part and shift all classes online from tomorrow, 18 May onwards.

Students will be given the zoom meeting link and class materials via email before their classes as soon as we can. We advise students to not come to school for the printed version of the materials so as to reduce contact as much as possible.

Please note that the admin counter will be closed from 19th May onwards. You may drop us an email if you have further queries regarding this matter.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this sudden change and we thank you for your understanding during these trying times.

Stay safe and healthy!

Yours sincerely,

Bunka Language School

Revision of Course Fees (28 April 2021)

Dear Bunka Students

Thank you for the continued support throughout these years. 2020/2021 has been a challenging year not only for Bunka but for many other businesses as well.

COVID has greatly affected our intake capacity, in turn, greatly affecting our business revenue. After great deliberation, the management has decided that a small increase in class fees will need to be put in place in order to secure Bunka’s survival.

With effect from 1st June 2021 10 AM, we will implement an across-the-board increase in our course fees due to the aforementioned.

Please make payment for the next course you have registered for under the current rate by 31st May 2021. The discount entitlements in the loyalty cards remain and our in-person courses are still SkillFuture credit claimable.

Please feel free to contact us at 6737 3601 or course@bunkalang.com should you have any queries.

Sincerely
Your Bunka Language School Team

Online Replacement Classes (23 March 2021)

Dear Bunka students

After receiving feedback from students and due to limited online replacement class schedules, with effect from 5th of April 2021, Bunka will be providing the recordings to students who miss any online lessons upon request instead of providing replacement classes.

Please note that these recordings can be accessed for at least 1 week and can be extended. If a student(s) is really in need of attending an actual class, please inform Bunka’s admin at course@bunkalang.com and we will do our best to make an arrangement.

Yours sincerely,
Bunka Language School

Students using SkillsFuture (5 March 2021)

Students using SkillsFuture, please take note.

If students were to miss lessons, it is a “MUST” to give us the reason because this is what the audit committee would want to know. Every lesson must be accounted for. Students who do not attain 75% of the total attendance may risk their funding to be recovered by WDA.

Students will have to go for the replacement class within 60 calendar days from initial course run end date they were enrolled in.

 Yours sincerely,
Bunka Language School

We’re finally making the transition into phase 2 and we thank you so much for filling out the Bunka Reopening Survey!

We take our feedback very seriously and thus, here are the new patch notes for Bunka 2020.07.21

  1. We have rearranged the seating arrangement, keeping our students 1m apart.
  2. Installed table shields on each table.
  3. Appealed to Delfi Management to have the level 5 gents accessible without key.
  4. Staggered class schedule.
  5. We have now provided extra hand sanitizers for each classroom.
  6. Water dispensers have been replaced with pre-packaged bottled water to avoid unnecessary gathering in one area / minimize contact points.
