After School Clubs

The after school clubs will now be beginning on Monday 21^st May. There has been a delay in finalising clubs to be offered, however, a letter will go home on Monday for pupils to make their choices.

Brownies

The Brownies group will continue to meet from June 5^th. Ms Dennis is presently very involved in the FOBISSEA Sports and cannot take the Brownies group until then. We still require the assistance of a parent who can speak Bahasa Malaysia to help with the Brownies group. All the written materials and meetings are in Bahasa Malaysia. If anyone is willing to assist please contact me.

Lunch Orders

Pupils will now be able to make lunch orders for each week and these will be delivered to school just before lunch break. Please see the accompanying order form.

Talk: 'Life in a Freezer'

A reminder that after school today is the talk given by Mr Steve Pinfield about his experiences working in Antarctica. This begins at 2.30pm. On behalf of the school I would like to express our gratitude to him for the time he has given up to present this talk.
