Dear Parents

KIS AGM

A reminder that the school’s AGM will be held on Thursday 28 November 2002 at 7:30pm, School Library. Nominations of the new Board of Management have commenced, and its progress can be noted from the Board’s notice board. Nominations forms are available from the school office.

Summarised BOM Minutes: Minutes of the current Board of Management are now posted on the Board’s notice board for parents’ ease information. Parents who wish to have a copy for ease reading may request a copy from the school office.

Year 2 – 5 Visit

Today, students in Year 2 – 5 went on a field trip to the Bird Sanctuary in Likas as part of their topic on environments and habitats.

Car Park Area

This is a reminder to parents that all cars should be removed from the car park before 8.00am. This is a safety issue both in terms of any classes wishing to do PE, but also it assists us in our desire to be vigilant against any unwanted intruders into the school grounds.

School Hat Policy

This is a reminder that all students should wear the school hat when outside. This includes before and after school, as well as during break times and PE lessons. Please ensure your child brings their school hat to school each day.

Slippers at Swimming

Whilst it is not compulsory, students are permitted to wear slippers or sandals to swimming. However, if they do so, they are expected to bring their normal school shoes to wear while not at swimming.

Reception/Year 1 Guest Speaker

I would like to thank Mrs Abir Kamal for speaking to the students in Reception & Year 1 class about Ramadan and Hari Raya as part of their studies on world festivals.

Danum Valley Field Trip Forms

Miss Stansfield has requested that the return slips for the proposed field trips to Danum Valley and the Rungus Long House in Kudat, be returned to school. She needs to be able to check the viability of these trips, once all reply slips have been submitted.

Dates to note:
