3) 4th April 2009 - “Form 5 Peer Tutoring”
This project is an on-going one and continued from last year. We decided to hold it earlier in order to assist the Form 5 students to be better prepared for their ‘O’ Level Examinations.
Tutoring sessions are held every Saturday from 1:00pm to 2:30pm whereby fellow students assist their weaker peers sharing tips on answering past years’ examination papers etc. We carried it out for one term only. Reason being that the School was also running extra and remedial classes at the same time.

4) 27th to 28th April 2009 - “Book and ICT Fair”
This activity was organized for the first time. Again it was for fund raising purposes. At the same time, a Rubik cube competition was held for the Primary and Secondary Sections.

5) Funds raised by the PTA from 2008 “Golden Jubilee Fun Fair”, “Day without School Uniform” and “Book and ICT Fair”, will go towards the running of our Association with the balance being chanelled back to the School via CCA , ECA clubs and societies.
A sub-committee headed by Sandra Tang (treasurer) was put in-charge of the above matter. Heads of clubs and societies had to write-in to the PTA stating what items they required, along with reasons for their requests. The deadline for the first round of requests was 30th April 2009. Due to the cancellation of all ECA and sports events, PTA will be buying those approved items for the next academic year 2010.

6) In June, PTA had an informal meeting with all Heads of Department (Secondary Section) on general feedbacks of teachers, areas whereby PTA can help with the Teaching Staff in both the teaching and social fields. Meeting was a huge success and PTA in future will work closely with HODs.

7) On 11th July, together with the Senior School Administrator, PTA had a dialogue session with the School’s Canteen operator. Whereby it was highlighted that PTA will be assisting the School in monitoring the general hygiene of the foods served by the Canteen and the premises. PTA will be conducting unannounced inspection periodically.

7) On 2nd October in collaboration with the School, the PTA invited Mr. Phua, an educationist with more than 30 years of experience both as a teacher and principal, to give a talk to parents on “Growing Up With Your Child”. Turnout on that day was extremely. Parents deeply appreciated the talk and gained an insight on how to handle children during their different phases of their student life.
