intermediate class held every Friday at 8.00am to 9.00am. The classes will

Adventure Club Rafting Trip
The
school Adventure Club had their first outing last Sunday. This was a
rafting trip that involved a treasure hunt on the Kiulu River. Eleven
pupils participated in this. It proved to be a very enjoyable day for
everyone. Parents of Secondary Department pupils are encouraged to have
their child take advantage of these unique opportunities. A special thanks
to Ms Stansfield, Ms Hardie and Mr Dickinson for leading this trip. Thanks
is also due to Borneo
Ultimate Sports Adventure for giving us a huge discount on
the package deal.
A
second adventure trip is being planned for next month. Details for that
trip will be announced soon.
Formal Speech Competition
The
pupils in the Secondary Department have been writing and presenting
prepared speeches as part of the curriculum. Seven pupils were selected
from amongst all the pupils to present their speech in the finals held
today. The finalists were Karthik Rajah,
Jayant Rajah, Darren Low, Min-Yee Tseu, Claudia Lim, Derek Lawrie and
Marco Marsh. Each of them gave very credible performances and are to be
congratulated for their efforts. The winner was Karthik Rajah. Thank you
to Ms Hardie for all the work she has put into organising the speeches,
and to Mrs Anthea Lamb and Mrs Loris Wong for giving up their time to act
as judges.

PTA
Annual General Meeting
The
PTA will be holding their Annual General Meeting on Thursday, March 1st
at 8.15am in the library. All parents are invited to attend the meeting. An
important part of the meeting will be the election of committee members for
the coming year.
The
School PTA has made a tremendous contribution to the school during the last
year. Many social and fund raising events have been organised for the benefit
of the pupils in our school. On behalf of the school, I would like thank each
of the present PTA Committee for all their hard work.
Pupils

A
reminder that pupils should not be in school before 7.30am. Staff are not on

reasons.
