PTA Elections

Last week the AGM for the Parent Teachers Association was held and a new committee was elected. Mrs Hughes and Mrs Bursche stepped down as Chairperson and Treasurer after a very successful and busy two years in the positions. Both were instrumental in re-establishing the PTA a couple of years ago and have put a lot of work and effort in the school. On behalf of the students of the school I would like to express the school’s gratitude for their support. Similarly, I would also like to thank Alice Chung, Helen Wong, Silvia Møller, Vivian Yong, Pauline Lee, Margot Møller and Diane Dennis for their work as PTA members over the past year.

The new PTA Committee is as follows:
