Dear Parents/Guardians,

RE : ANNUAL CROSS COUNTRY 2010

We will be holding our Annual Cross Country on Saturday, 13 March 2010 at Bukit Shahbandar Forest Recreational Park from 8.00 am to 10.15 am for students from Yr. 4 to Sec 5 only.  A copy of the map showing the different routes for the different divisions is enclosed herewith for your reference. 

You are requested to send your child/children to the park between 7.45 am to 8.00 am and fetch them home promptly by 10.15 am.  Students are encouraged to bring their own food and drinks for the run. You are also welcome to join in the run with your child/children (especially Yr 4 level).

Lessons will be carried on as usual for the Kindergarten and Lower Primary sections.

Your kind attention and co-operation is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Yours faithfully,

RE : SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ACCIDENT PROTECTOR INSURANCE 2010 (SSAP)

This is to inform you that Great Eastern Life is offering the School Students’ Accident Protector Insurance (SSAP) policy.  This policy gives insurance coverage to students aged 3 years old and above (Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary) at anytime and anywhere.  The policy is now due for renewal on 3 April 2010.  The premium per student for one year’s insurance remains at $3.  Students are encouraged to sign up for the School Students’ Accident Protector Insurance for their benefits.

This is a yearly renewable insurance introduced in St Andrew’s School since 2004.  Benefits are payable only if the insured has suffered an accident during his/her insured period.

Any student who wishes to renew or join as a new applicant must get the form from the class teacher and return it to the class teacher with a $3/- payment attached to it not later than 30 March 2010.  Application forms without payment will not be valid and will not be submitted to Great Eastern.

Thank you for your kind attention and co-operation.


Yours faithfully,
