SGSS: (1) Racial Harmony Day, Fri 20 July (2) Breakfast with the HODs, Fri 03 August

Dear PSG parents,

1. Racial Harmony Food Carnival on 20 July (this Friday!)
Once again, as part of the school's celebrations for Racial Harmony Day, PSG is partnering the canteen vendors in selling a wide range of ethnic food and drinks during recess breaks this coming Friday. This is a great opportunity for students to try 'heritage' food, so do encourage your boys to try a little of everything that whets their appetite!

We are giving it a name this year, 'Racial Harmony Food Carnival' as featured in the posters. Aside from the canteen stalls, there are going to be 3 'PSG stalls' for hot faves - satay, otah and ice-cream floats, the first 2 of which will be manned by some of our new teachers! See them in action!

Net proceeds from the event will support the school's Sports Scholarships (as with the previous year).

All volunteers, just a friendly reminder from project lead Sharan, please turn up in colourful heritage costumes and report on time!

See you there!


2. 'Breakfast with the HODs' on 03 August (Friday)
Please note that our 'Breakfast with the HODs' is confirmed:

Time: commencing at 8.00am sharp, likely for an hour

Venue: AVA Room (Level 2)

Heads of Department Mr Peter Crawshaw (HOD, English & Literature) and Ms Teo Chen Nee (HOD, Mathematics) will be speaking on the strategies in place for 2 very important core subjects, English and Mathematics, followed by breakfast at the canteen.

This is an exclusive event for PSG parents only. Those who are keen to attend, please register with Siti on this email address by next Wednesday 25 July so that we can consolidate the numbers for the school to make arrangements. (Parents who have registered during our meeting of 06 July do not need to do so again, but do let Siti know if you are now unable to attend)

Thank you.
