Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for your hard work this week in conducting the PSLE Orals. I would also like to thank the National Day celebrations team (Si Lin, Ezri, Safarina, Cherlyn, See Ting, Danielle, Stephen and the PE and Music teachers) for planning and coordinating the programme and also would like to congratulate Puwen and Azizah on their National Day Awards.
We are also working to build on to our school's heritage and are looking for stories, photos and artifacts from ex-teachers and Stephenians. If you have come across any among your parents or ex-students, do forward them to the Heritage committee (Jaysree, Kareena, Shu Hui, Lishan, Jeffrey, Weixin, Tim D'Cruz and Stephen).
Do take note of changes to recess for P1 and P2 over the Prelims in the upcoming weeks.
To help our OSOs and security staff, do leave the school by 6.25pm every day as they would need time to lock up. If you do need to stay beyond 6.25pm, do let me or the VPs know so that we can make arrangements for you.
Example makes a much greater impression on mind and heart than words.
