Welcome back to a new calendar year and an exciting start to the school term. As we step into 2025, we do so with great enthusiasm for the weeks ahead. This term promises to be vibrant and dynamic, kicking off today with the Year 5 Devices Workshop.

In the coming weeks, we’ll host a variety of events, including auditions for the Primary Production, sports days across different year groups, and Parent-Teacher Consultations. We'll also celebrate key occasions such as Chinese New Year and National Day with special assemblies. Exciting sporting events, like the BJSL Tee Ball in Seria and the Tee Ball Festival at ISB, will further add to the energy and spirit of the term.

With so much happening, it’s shaping up to be a fantastic and dynamic term ahead.

ECA Sign Up! ✅

A reminder that sign-up for our Extra Curricular Activities (ECA) programme opens at 4 pm on Friday 10th January, and will remain open until Monday morning. ECAs play a vital role in complementing the learning that takes place within the classroom, providing students with opportunities to explore new interests, develop skills, and foster creativity, teamwork, and resilience. We have worked hard to create a broad and balanced ECA programme that offers something for everyone while considering the other commitments students may have. Don’t miss this chance to enrich your child’s school experience. Full details are available here.

If you have any questions about any aspect of school life, please do not hesitate to message in Seesaw.
