Dogs in School

If parents bring a dog into the school grounds whilst collecting their child, please ensure that it is kept on a leash and under control at all times. We need to be sensitive to those families who, for religious reasons prefer their child not to touch dogs or be touched by them.

On Wednesday next week, our pupils will perform some charity work for the Sabah Blind Society. They will be assisting the Society by filling and organising envelopes for them.

Tadpole Update!
