Dear Parents/Guardian,
Term 3 went off to a smooth start on Monday, 26 June 2006.
I trust you had a meaningful time with
your son/ward during the recent June holidays; it is important
for families to spend time
together. As we embark on Semester 2, let us continue to look
to God who has blessed the school
and trust that He will continue to do so; truly His faithfulness
and loving kindness is new every
morning. At this point, I would like to welcome 6 new teachers
to the school. We are indeed
grateful to the Lord for His provision.
1. Class Contact Time
I am pleased to announce that with effect from the beginning
of Term 3, the school has
incorporated into the class time-table a 10-minute Contact
Time (7.50-8.00am) from Tuesday to
Friday for Class Teachers to spend time with their pupils to
build relationships as well as to
carry out any class administration if need be. I would appreciate
it if you could ensure that your
son/ward comes to school punctually by 7.30am for the flag-raising
ceremony.
2. Dismissal on Friday, 7 July 2006
Kindly note that pupils will be dismissed at 12 noon on Friday,
7 July 2006. This is because all
teachers are involved in ExCEL Fest 2006 from noon onwards;
as such there will be no CCA or any
other school activities on that afternoon.
3. Leaving school before the official dismissal time
I would like to draw your attention to a procedure that the
school put in place to ensure the
safety of all the pupils in the school. Parents/Guardian who
wish to take their son/ward out of
school earlier than the official dismissal time must get the
approval of the Principal. If your
son/ward is not feeling well, the office will contact you and
parents/guardian
need to come to the
general office to fill in a form before picking up your son.
I am sure you can understand why the
school needs to be vigilant in this area.
4. Below is a summary of the important events in Term 3:
a) Youth Day – Monday, 3 July 2006
Youth Day is a school holiday. Pupils need not come to school
on this day.
b) Primary 6 Preliminary Examination Timetable and PSLE Instructions

(which contains PSLE Examination Time-table)
Pupils will receive the above on

The school will be organizing a Library Week from 17 to 20
July 2006. A series of activities– talks, quizzes, sale of books, etc. – have been planned
for the pupils.
d) Racial Harmony Day (Friday, 21 July 2006)
As a school, we will be celebrating Racial Harmony Day to remind
all our pupils the importance of
living in harmony with the many races in Singapore
e) Arts Fest 2006 (Friday, 21 July 2006)
Arts Fest 2006 will be celebrated on Racial Harmony Day. All

Best Is Yet To Be!
God Bless,
Lim Chew Hiong, Richard
Principal
