Dear Parents

Maliau Basin Trip

A small group of pupils and parents from the school have been invited to visit Maliau Basin to welcome HRH Prince Hendrik of Denmark who will be officiating at the laying of the foundation stone at the Park Study Center this weekend. We are very privileged to have had this group of students invited to the ceremony. It will not be an easy journey, as they will have several hours of arduous traveling by plane and by four-wheel drive vehicle. They will also have to camp overnight in tents so it will be a real adventure. We wish them a very enjoyable trip and look forward to hearing their stories when they return next week. I would like to thank Mr Hans Møller for organising this opportunity for the school.

FOBISSEA Games Results

Our team of athletes has returned from the FOBISSEA Games in Penang. As mentioned before, this is the first time we have sent a team to the Secondary School Games. Our team did us proud, winning six medals in swimming and athletics competitions. I have received several very favourable comments from other schools about our teams performance and excellent behaviour. I would like to congratulate all of the students involved and also thank Mr Dickinson for leading the group.

School Closed: Friday 15^th March

A reminder that the school will be closed tomorrow for Awal Muharram.

Secondary School Uniform

The school tailor will be in school on Monday 18 March to measure up any students needing to order trousers or skorts. If you would like to order new uniform, please instruct your child/ren accordingly or contact the office before 9am on Monday.

Yr 4&5 Visit to Gaya Street

Year 4&5 went on a visit to Gaya Street as part of their history and geography topic. By all accounts it was a successful and informative trip aimed at looking at how Kota Kinabalu has changed in the last fifty years. I thank Mrs Anuar Ghani for organizing this. I would also like to thank those parents who assisted her during this trip.
