Principal's Update
Dear Colleagues,
My heartfelt thanks to the teachers who spent the last 3 days with the P5 boys, and the invigilators looking after the PSLE boys, as well as the rest of us for taking over and relieving classes. Next week will be a short week with the children's day celebrations, and as we will be having treats for the school at the canteen, do refrain from buying food items for the boys as part of your treats to them.
I leave you with the quote of the week which I hope you read slowly and let settle in your heart, and when you find the right opportunity, share it with your boys and loved ones too.
The fruit of silence is prayer,
the fruit of prayer is faith,
the fruit of faith is love,
the fruit of love is service
and the fruit of service is peace.
~ Mother Theresa
