Museum Trip

The Reception to Year 3 classes went on a trip to the Sabah Museum as part of their class studies yesterday.  They have a wonderful time.  Thanks to all parents who have helped in one way or the other.

Karate Lessons

Starting January 2001, a trained karate instructor (black belt) will be willing to come to our school on a weekly basis.  Students from Year 3 and above may join this club.  We would like to have names of those students who would be interested in joining to see if there is sufficient interest to have such a club.  This is only an inquiry, it will not commit you at this stage.  A minimal cost of approximately RM10 for a half hour session will be charged.
