Dear Parents

Awal Muharram Holiday

Please note that on Tuesday, March 4, the school will be closed for the Awal Muharram holiday. We wish all of our Muslim families a happy new year.

Swimming Gala

A quick thank you to all those parents who supported the Lower School and Upper School Swimming Competitions. We hope you had an enjoyable morning, I know the students did. A special vote of thanks goes to Mrs Hughes for being our announcer and to Mr Park for acting as a lane judge.

Likas Zone Sports

Most participants in the Likas Zone Sports have returned their athletics vests and shorts. However, a number of sets of kit are still outstanding. Please return the school athletics attire to Ms Dennis as soon as possible.

Theft at School

On Monday Ms Keoh’s mobile phone was taken from her desk drawer some time before lunch. Ms Keoh is particularly keen to have the memory chip (sim card) returned as it contains all of her personal contact numbers. If anybody has any information about this please contact a member of staff. This is the second major incidence of theft this term and reminds us all of the need for vigilance. Once again everybody is urged not to bring valuables to school and to take greater care of their property.

Football on the Field

Students have been crawling under the fence on the far side of the field to collect footballs that have been kicked over the fence. There is a storm drain just over the fence that is a safety hazard. Pupils must not cross the fence surrounding the field to collect footballs. They should tell the teacher on duty and follow instructions. On no account should pupils leave the school grounds unsupervised.

Photography Session at Sutera Harbour

Sutra Harbour is inviting all its junior members to participate in their group photography session. The session takes place this Saturday, March 1, between 2.45pm and 4.30pm at the Theatre, Marina Golf and Country Club. Students who attend in their sports attire with equipment will be photographed with the possibility of appearing in next month’s “Suara Sutera” magazine. Light refreshments will be served and a short movie shown. If anyone is interested they should register at the Sutera Harbour member relations counter. For more information, please ring Member Relations at 308 111/308 113.

Danum Valley Expedition Presentations

Next Friday morning, some of the students who visited Danum Valley will be giving presentations on the trip. This is a great opportunity for those who did not go to share their experiences and for the presenters to hone their communication skills. A video of the trip will also be shown. This event will replace the Friday swimming lessons.  

Secondary Grade Cards

The Secondary School Grade Cards will be sent home today. Please read them carefully. Parents should sign the cards at the bottom and then return them to school with their children. As our Year 11 students have just received a full report, they will not be issued Grade Cards.
