We are having a Maker Morning on Saturday 24th February from 10am to 12pm.

Come and join us for our next Maker Morning. It's an opportunity for you to work on mini Maker projects with your children in a fun and exciting learning space. Create a holographic projection, experience a Virtual Reality tour or code a robot to navigate an obstacle course. With activities for all ages and refreshments provided, it's a great opportunity to share new learning experiences with your family.

This activity has limited places. Please sign up via our Facebook page to reserve your place.

Inter-house Year 7 - 9 Track and Field Day Information

On Monday 26 February, all Year 7 to Year 9 learners will be taking part in an Inter-house track and field day. This will be held at Choa Chu Kang Stadium (1 Choa Chu Kang Street 53 Singapore 689236). Learners will be taken to and from the stadium by coach. All learners have been further developing their skills of some track and field events in their Health and Physical Education lessons. This will be an opportunity for all learners to put those skills into practice and 'have a go'. The focus of the day will be on participation in a fun and encouraging environment, and working together with learners in houses.

Please feel free to come along to the stadium between 9.30am - 2.30pm to support your child/ward and join in the house spirit. There is no facility for parents to travel on the coaches, but the Stadium is easily accessible by bus and MRT, with the Choa Chu Kang and Yew Tee MRT stations a couple of minutes walk away.

Please ensure your child/ward comes prepared for the day dressed in the following:

• A house t-shirt (available at Bibi & Baba). In exceptional circumstances, when you are unable to purchase the correct colour/size, a plain t-shirt of the correct colour may be used (your child’s house colour is available on the Parent Portal)
• Black/Navy HPE Shorts
• Hat
• Sun Block

Learners should also be aware that:

• We suggest they bring plenty of lunch, additional healthy snacks and a water bottle.
• We also recommend that learners do not bring their macbook to school on this day only.
