SUMMER MID-TERM NEWSLETTER 2022

It has been a wholesome feeling having our children with us in the first half of the summer term themed Make a Positive Difference. We have had a fantastic and fun-filled first half. This term is our promotional term and thus has fewer competitions and events than previous terms. However, we applaud our children that have participated in events and competitions so far. The Mid-term examinations have been concluded today, and the results will be published on the school portal by Friday, the 17^th of June, 2022. We vacate today for the Mid-Term break to resume on Tuesday, 14^th June, 2022. Here is a sneak peek into what we have been up to all term.
