On Friday, 26^th May, grades 4 – 6 were involved in a House Sports competition during lunch recess. The competition was organized by House captains. The competition gave the House captains the opportunity to use the leadership skills they have gained throughout the year to further promote House spirit in the primary division. Many students were involved in the House Sports competition, grade 4 competed in badminton doubles, grade 5 were on the field playing soccer and grade 6 played half-court basketball. It was great to see students smiling and competing while others were cheering on their follow House members.

This year, English, Math, and Chinese will provide summer homework to support student learning during the summer months. The goal is to give students regular contact with their academic subject to prevent students from regressing, which can be a common occurrence during long holidays. We appreciate your support in reminding your child to complete their work regularly during the summer and to turn in the completed assignments to your child’s teachers in August. Detailed information will be sent out by the subject teachers during the final week of school via ManageBac.
