Dear Parents

Holidays

Next Friday, May 30, the school will be closed for the Harvest Festival holiday. The Newsletter will be distributed on Thursday.

Congratulations to Bing Shian

Bing Shian went to England recently to sit the scholarship exams for one of the most prestigious schools in the country – Winchester College. He had to take eight papers, in competition with 51 other students. Bing Shian performed brilliantly, coming seventh and he was awarded one of the fifteen scholarships on offer. As Bing Shian is only twelve, his entry to the College is deferred until September 2004. Congratulations, Bing. We are all very proud of you.

Secondary Grade Cards

Pupils in Years 6 to 10 will be receiving their first Grade Cards of the term today. Please take the time to discuss the grades with your child before signing the card and returning it to school on Monday.

Books

Our thanks go to Ana Kollert and Diana Hughes for donating books to the library.

Photographs needed

If you have any photographs of the swimming gala and other school events that you would like to see published in the school magazine, please pass them to Ms Hardie or Mr Davies. We need your help so please take the time to look through your photo albums for suitable pictures.

Book Sale

This Thursday and Friday, Edukids bookstore has been at the school displaying some of their products. We hope everybody has had a chance to see what has been on offer and that you have found some of the books useful. We have to thank Mrs Ling-Ling Park for organising the sale.

 

 

Nature Art Competition

There is still a lot of time for pupils to enter the competition. Remember any kind of artwork is allowed but make sure that it is mounted on paper. You should write your name and class somewhere it cannot be seen, i.e. on the back or underneath your work. KK Toys has generously donated gift vouchers for some of the prizes for the art competition so winners can be sure of some good prizes. There will be an auction of the artwork at the BBQ held after sports day.

Apologies

The PTA would like to thank Mrs Nora Heywood for her donation towards the PTA coffee morning and apologize for not mentioning her by name in the earlier report.

With your help …

The children have started their training for sports day during their PE lessons at school. We would ask you to encourage your children to be as active as possible outside of school so that their levels of physical fitness improve in time for June 27, sports day.

Next week we shall be concentrating on good manners and respect and consideration for others. Stickers will be awarded to pupils whenever they are seen demonstrating these qualities. There will be rewards for the children who prove to be the most polite, considerate and respectful in their class. We would be grateful if you could remind the children of the importance of these characteristics at home.

In September, many of our classrooms will be improved. If you have any storage units, shelves or similar items that you would like to donate to the school, please contact Mr Davies.
