Fun Run: 8th July The school will be holding a fun run for all pupils and parents on Saturday, 8th July. The run will start at 4.00pm at the school and will follow a route close to the school. The PTA will hold a barbeque immediately after the run. Tickets for the barbeque are RM15.00 for adults and older pupils, and RM10.00 for pupils Year 5 and below. Last term's barbecue was very successful and was enjoyed by all who attended, so please make the effort to support this event. Quiz Night The PTA held a very
successful quiz night last Friday. There were in excess of 40 people in
attendance. The evening raised RM650.00. I would like to thank all
parents, friends for supporting the event, and also thank the PTA for
organising it. Project
: - Computer Lab The hopes to have a
computer lab set up by January 2001. We aim to have 20 computers, all
networked and with an ISDN internet connection for fast internet access.
It will also include a scanner, CD re-writer, digital camera and colour
printer. It is envisaged that
all classes in both the Primary Department and Secondary Department will
have at least four lessons in computers a week.
Pupils in the Primary Department will be working towards the
Cambridge ICT Award, while Secondary Department pupils will be working
towards the Cambridge Award in Computer Competence and Cambridge Careers
Award in ICT. Included in the syllabus will be learning various computer programmes, web-page design, graphics design and CAD design. In addition to this, arrangements will be made to set up computer lessons for parents as well each week. The school needs to
raise RM45,000.00 for the computer lab. Fund raising activities are
already being organised by the PTA and Board of Management. The first of
these will be the Bastille day celebration on July 14th in
association with the French community of Sabah. It is hoped that all
families will support this project as your children will benefit greatly
from it. |

standardised assessments. The Pupils in the Secondary Department will sit

Cars in School Grounds A reminder that parents
should move their car out of the school grounds by 8.00am when the bell goes.
A number of cars are remaining in the grounds after the bell, and are
interfering with PE lessons. If
you know that you need to stay in the school after the bell, then please park
outside the school gates.
