Parent-Child-Teacher Dialogue 

The annual Parent-Child-Teacher Dialogue (PCTD) will be taking place between 23 May and 26 June 2025. This 20-minute online session is a meaningful opportunity for you to engage in a conversation facilitated by the Form Teacher, where your daughter/ward shares her learning experiences, progress, and personal growth in school.

The four days set aside for this dialogue are Friday 23 May, Monday 26 May, Thursday 26 June and Friday 27 June. On a case-by-case basis, the Form Teachers, parents/guardians and students may discuss and decide on an alternative PCTD date during the non-protected-vacation-period, should there be a need to do so.

A Parents Gateway (PG) message will be sent closer to the dates to arrange your preferred date and time for the session.

Pre-PCTD Online Parenting Talk

Our students have been working with their Character Strengths for their learning and development. We are therefore conducting a talk on Character Strengths for parents/guardians on Friday 23 May, 8.30 – 9.30am via Google Meet. (Link: https://meet.google.com/hkb-rkdw-ges)

Parents/Guardians of our Secondary 1 students and parents/guardians who missed last year’s pre-PCTD parenting talk on Character Strengths are strongly encouraged to attend this talk. This talk aims to give us an understanding of how knowing and applying our character strengths help us to thrive.

Before the talk, you are encouraged to read about Character Strengths and take the free VIA Character Survey. They are available at https://www.viacharacter.org. You will need to register for an account before you take the survey.

This is an optional talk, and NOT a prerequisite for PCTD.

FUSION, Nanyang's signature interdisciplinary programme for Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 students commenced on 7 May and will end on 22 May.

This programme aims to: 

1) develop and strengthen key emerging 21st century competencies and dispositions such as:

·  critical, adaptive, inventive thinking

·  communication and collaboration skills

·  civic literacy 

2) enable our students to think, connect and apply knowledge, skills and concepts across disciplines and come up with creative solutions to solve real-world problems and issues.

This enriching FUSION programme, which includes interdisciplinary modules, community education visits, sharing by industry partners, learning journeys and neighbourhood walks, will create deep and memorable learning experiences. Our students will also get to work collaboratively in teams on their FUSION projects mentored by their teachers. To celebrate their learning and as empowered agents of change, their interdisciplinary projects will be showcased on CREATE Day on 8 August, as part of SG60 National Day Celebrations.  

The lower secondary students have received their special FUSION timetables, and a separate PG message has been sent to Sec 1 parents with information on Learning Journeys.  

For more information on FUSION, you may explore the FUSION microsites through your daughter’s account/ward’s NYGH account:

Jolly June Well-Being Calendar 

Our school's Positive Education Team has designed a "Jolly June" calendar for our girls to have some fun and meaningful activities during the break. It encourages students to appreciate being in the moment, express gratitude and compassion to others and take the time to be kind to themselves. The individual tasks may seem small but they all add up to improving one's well-being. Parents and Guardians are encouraged to enjoy this calendar with your daughters and wards. (The “Jolly June” calendar will be sent to the students via the school email.) We wish you a jolly time this June with your daughters/wards. 

Library Opening Hours

The school library will remain open daily throughout the June holidays from 8.00am to 5.00pm. Students who wish to return to school for self-study or to make use of the library facilities are welcome to do so.

Please note that the library may be closed on selected days for stock-taking and maintenance during protected leave. Students will be notified of these closure dates via email prior to the June holidays.

Canteen Operating Hours

One canteen stall will be operating until 1pm from Monday 2 to Friday 6 June. There will not be any canteen stalls operating between Monday 9 and Friday 27 June. Students who are planning to return to school have to make plans for their meals.

Art Room Opening Hours and Consultation for Art Students

The art room will be opened on 4 – 6 June (9.00 am – 12 noon) should our art students want to use the facilities and consult their teachers on their T2-3 3D module practical work progress.

Stepping Down of Secondary 4 Students

As our Secondary 4 students conclude their major competitions and performances, this is also a natural time for them to hand over their roles and responsibilities to their juniors. Most students will continue with their CCA sessions until the first week of the June holidays (Friday 7 June 2025).

However, some Secondary 4 students may wish to remain involved in their CCA beyond this period, especially if they are able to manage the commitment and continue contributing meaningfully. For these students, CCA teachers will seek parental consent for an extended CCA involvement. This will usually take place till Term 3 Week 5, or any time the student’s CCA commitments conclude. Do look out for the consent form for this CCA extension.

C Division National School Games and June Protected Vacation Period

Some of the C Division National School Games have started and will continue till Term 3. To ensure that students are well conditioned for these competitions, CCA practices will continue during the June school holidays. While we would adhere closely to the protected vacation leave, a few CCAs may adjust their training schedule to better prepare them. You will find out more from your daughter/ward. 

We are having our school funfair, Carnival Vibrante 2025, on Friday 4 July 2025, as part of our Youth Day and Racial Harmony Day celebrations. There will be more than 45 stalls offering food (waffles, ice cream, bubble tea, and cookies), merchandise (bracelets, keychains and slime), services (photo booths, henna, face painting) and games (escape rooms, haunted houses). 

The event details are as follows:

Event: Carnival Vibrante 2025

Date: Friday 4 July 2025

Time: 8.15am – 2.30pm (Event will commence after the flag raising ceremony.)

Audience: Internal funfair for students (NOT open to the public)

Proceeds: All proceeds will go towards the President's Challenge and School Upgrading Project.

Event Preparation on 3 July

On Thursday 3 July, students will end lessons by 12 noon, to give them time for lunch and to set up their class stalls for the funfair.  Dismissal time on this day is 2.30pm.

On both 3 and 4 July, CCA practices for students involved in the upcoming C division competitions will take place from 4pm to 6.30pm.  More information will be provided by their CCA teachers.

Purchase of Funfair Coupons

The funfair coupons will be available for purchase from mid-May to mid-June. Each funfair coupon is priced at $20, with denominations of $5, $2 and $1. These coupons will also grant access to various games, service, merchandise and food stalls throughout the funfair. 

Coupons may also be bought and pledged to our beneficiaries. With the pledged coupons, our invited beneficiaries will get to enjoy the stalls during the funfair.  Parents/guardians who wish to purchase coupons for this purpose may purchase them through your daughter/ward.

Students will submit their orders for funfair coupons via an online platform, where they can indicate the number of coupons either purchased for their own use or pledged to beneficiaries.  Payment of the coupons will be done via PayNow/PayLah.  The coupons will be distributed to the students through their Form Teachers in Term 3 Week 1.  

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. 

The school continues to practise and celebrate “Eat with your Family Day”. Launched in 2003 by the Centre for Fathering (CFF), it will be held on the last Friday of each school term. The school will thus close at 5pm to allow everyone to leave school early to enjoy a meal and spend quality time with families on 30 May, 4 September (brought forward from 5 September) and 21 November 2025.

Wishing you in advance a happy family get-together on this very joyful day.
