Cafeteria

The latest news on our School Cafeteria – Our Mr Fix-it Dollah is still working diligently away at it and it is progressing slowly but surely. However, Molly couldn’t wait to start and get to know the students’ and their food preferences so she has actually started serving up some food. I have tried her nasi lemak and fried chicken and it was good whilst I hear her chicken curry and rice yesterday was a tremendous hit. Prices are well below that of SDS, who has been kind enough to provide our students their lunch to date, but our students were finding it very boring. Due to repeated requests from parents we brought Molly in to help us take care of this aspect of the school. We hope you will be supportive when her kitchen is fully ready. In the meantime she is cooking from home and bringing in the food with her son, Asraf, neighbour and one helper. Asraf will start work in Singapore next week and Molly will man the cafeteria on her own from then. Welcome Aboard, Molly!

Primary School Trip
The primary school trip is being postponed to mid-April. This time the Primary Trip will be to the Science Center in Singapore. Please arrange any passport requirements should your child be going along, during the school holidays. We will keep you informed of the trip nearer the time.

Motivation Camp / Teambuilding Camp
Mr. Roslan is arranging the motivation camp once again for March and will notify you of the date, venue and costs nearer the time. Please look out for this.
