Dear Parents

Harvest Festival

This week, the Newsletter comes out on Thursday as tomorrow the school will close for the Harvest Festival Holiday.

Reading in ELC

Over the past few weeks a number of parents have been visiting ELC and reading storybooks to the children. Both the children and the readers have had an enjoyable time. We would like to thank Mrs Lotte Gronbech, Mrs Julia Schriver, Mrs Kirsty Stanhope, Mrs Hadjah Hj Mohd Idris and Mrs Diana Hughes for being so generous with their time and energy.

Missing Football Boots

Another item has gone missing from the Secondary block. A pair of football boots belonging to a Year 10 boy was removed from the tables outside of the Science Laboratory.  If you have any information about this matter, please see Mr Davies. This should serve as another reminder to all students that they must look after their belongings.

Photographs Still Needed

If you have any photographs of the swimming gala or 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.

Sticker Week?

This week we have all been concentrating on politeness, respect and consideration for others. We were thinking of calling it “Politeness Week” but  “Sticker Week” would have been more appropriate. The students have been greeting the teachers with an enthusiasm unseen before. There have been pupils volunteering to carry books for teachers. I don’t think we have ever had such an obliging group of children. Although the competition finishes this week, teachers will still hand out stickers next week to deserving pupils.

Wednesday Choir

Next Wednesday, June 4, we shall be starting a choir as an after school club. Mr Albert will be the choirmaster and, initially, the choir will be open to Years 6 to 9. We hope to involve more students if the Choir club is successful.
