First day at school








2nd January is the first day of school for the new P1 students, at 2pm sharp they are all assembled at the school hall all ready to for school. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, these newbies were all so excited about going to school. They obediently sat down in rows and repeated greetings after Mrs Wong, the Principal who was personally there to orientate the children into their school life. How lucky they are to have such a dedicated Principal and caring teachers.

Anxious parents stood on the sideways as they watched their little ones soaked in the "real school" experience. It is very heartening to see the littles ones adapt so well and so eager about school. They dutifully sat down reading their story books while waiting for the rest of the children to turn up for school.

Recess time went smoothly as children are paired with a P2 buddy to help them to be more independent. P1 students learned to order their own food, put the cutleries back in place and of course to wash their hands thoroughly before and after meals. When the bell rang, they return to their respective classes in an orderly manner. There was no drama at all!

What an exciting day for all. First day of school and a fresh start to their schooling adventure!
