Dear Parents
Year
9’s Great Minds We
were thrilled to learn last weekend that nine of our Year 9 students will
shortly have poems published. An organisation in Words,
Music and Drama Presentation at
Our
original plan was to show this in school but when news broke of our
published poets we decided that both deserved a wider audience. We are
therefore planning an evening of words, music and drama on Friday, 8 July at
Tickets, for which there will be no charge, will be available from the office next week when all arrangements have been confirmed. They will initially be limited to no more than four per family because Sutera’s fire regulations strictly control the size of the audience. Should any one family need more than 4 tickets, names will be placed on a waiting list. Otherwise, it’s first-come first-served, so early booking is recommended. Please
note the following dates for Drama Club members, poets and musicians:

Room
to Read We
were finally able to donate US$5200 to Room to Read as a result of our
Charity Week. The money will support their school re-building projects in
Girls’
football Finally,
I am pleased to see that our roving sports reporter has got back into his
stride after a few weeks of uncharacteristic silence. Here is his take on a
recent footballing triumph by our girls … It
was an auspicious occasion on the fourth of June. The location was the K.K.
Futsal Arena and my shins had had an unaccustomed break from the attentions
of our female soccer stars. Had our starlets of the soccer pitch given up
the beautiful game in favour of more feminine pursuits? Had Claire changed
her soccer boots for ballet blocks? Not a bit of it. K.I.S. played their
first girls’ football match against the muscular young ladies from It
was obvious the K.I.S. foootballistas were nervous, especially Didi, whose
knees were knocking in fright so much it sounded like Ricky Martin shaking
his maracas. The absence of team hard man Chopper Wong added to the state of
funk. Dani Pilcher had the added spice of facing her auntie, who proceeded
to induct her into the ugly world of gamesmanship. However, cream will rise
to the top. After ten glorious minutes the game was over. The girls went in
at half time 28 nil in the lead. The tactical machinations of coach Fox paid
dividends. The girls ran out 34 to 4 winners with Claire netting an
incredible 20 times. I would like to congratulate the girls who played in
this game: they were awesome. On occasions like this it is hard not to
indulge in a little schadenfreude. I am sure the girls from The
real challenge will come when the girls take on the Aunties at futsal after
the examinations. Any young lady wishing to join the team, contact Mrs
Curtis. Yours
in sports Jon

I
wish you all an enjoyable weekend and for those with examinations next week,
a hard-working one! |
Last
Saturday’s Beach Clean-up turned out to be a great success. The
beach looked fabulous after we left it and no less than two lorry loads of
garbage were taken away by DBKK. We managed to get through 300 garbage bags
and 150 pairs of gloves. It was a fine way to finish an outstanding week and
I would again like to extend thanks to all of you who made it happen.
Unfortunately, the article that appeared in the Sabah Times last Sunday
failed to mention either Dr Pilcher or Delta Environmental Logistics’
sponsorship. However, an excellent job was done and there was much
sun-burned satisfaction by Saturday lunchtime.
This
term the Drama Club has been working towards a presentation of a short
one-act play, Emily’s Incredible Illucinations by Alan Ayckbourn. 
We
are also pleased to have donated RM184.26 to the Rainforest Discovery
Centre. This money has been raised through the Recycle Fund Collections
and parents are urged to bring in their old newspapers and magazines so that
we can continue this slow and steady support.
