Year 2 – 5 Class Trip

Year 2 – 5 students went on a school trip to the Pakar Zoo as part of their studies on the local environment and habitats.

After-school Clubs Library books, Reading Scheme Books

Next week will be the last week for after-school clubs. There will NOT be any after-school clubs in the last week of school. Similarly, next week will be the last week in which students can take library books and reading scheme books home. These will need to be brought back to school by Friday 5^th December.

Little Tikes Boat Donation

Thank you to Mrs Park for donating a Little Tikes boat to Reception/Year 1 class. The class is currently using the boat for role-playing activities. It will later be used as a sand pit. Thank you also to Mrs Kollert for transporting the boat to the school.

Dressing-Up Clothes

Reception/Year 1 class requires any old clothes (adults’/ children’s) for dressing up and role-playing activities. Please speak to Ms Johnstone if you have anything suitable.

School Hats

School hats continue to be something of a problem for teachers trying to support the School Hat Policy. All students should wear the school hat at break times, PE times and any after-school clubs that are held outdoors. The measure was implemented as a safety pre-caution against the risk of pre-longed exposure to the sun. However, we still have large numbers of pupils who do not have or who have lost their hat. Please ensure that your child has a school hat and have their name written inside it.

Grade Cards

Secondary Department Grade cards will be sent home next Tuesday.

Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent teacher interviews will be held on Tuesday (3^rd December) next week for the Primary Department and on Wednesday (4^th December) next week for the Secondary Department. If you wish to meet your child’s teacher and have not arranged an interview time yet, please do so.

Hari Raya Holiday

The school will be closed for the Hari Raya Public Holiday on Friday 6^th December. There is slight possibility that the moon may be sighted a day earlier, and therefore Thursday 5^th December would then be a holiday also. Please watch the TV2 news at 8pm on Wednesday evening to check for this.

PTA Meeting

This meeting will be held on Tuesday 3rd December at 8:30am in the TV/Video Room, KIS.
