Commemoration of International Friendship Day

We would be commemorating International Friendship Day next Monday , 5th April and would like students to come in sports attire.

To Nanyang With Love - Art Exhibition

The Nanyang Alumni Association, Nanyang Primary and Nanyang Girls’ High School are going to organise a fund raising art event for Nanyang Primary Indoor Sports Hall and other construction projects. The art exhibition will be held at The ARTrium, MICA Building from 25th to 28th March 2010.

Other than having art work for sale at the exhibition, there is also a ‘Birthday Calendar’ available for sale at $50 each. This calendar is not a conventional time-bound calendar. It is one that allows you or your child to note down the birthdays of loved ones. The calendar is filled with lovely graphics and contains pictures of artworks painstakingly created by pupils and teachers of Nanyang Primary school as well as by the Nanyang Schools Alumni Association. As such, this calendar will serve as a precious momento for your child, even after he/she leaves the school.

Below are pictures to provide you with a glimpse of what this ‘Birthday Calendar’ looks like. We really hope you can support us in this fund raising art event by purchasing a copy of the calendar.

To show your support, just fill up the Order Form which will be given together with a letter by tomorrow. Payments to be made by cheque made payable to 'Nanyang Primary School'. Generous donations above the listed price of $50 is most appreciated and we really thank you for your support!

Meet The Parents Session Postponed

Dear Parents,

Please kindly note that the P1 & P2 Meet The Parents Session has been postponed to

TERM 2 WEEK 2 (29 March-2 April).

The reason for this postponement is because there will be an Art Exhibition in Term 2 Week 1, and most of our P1 and P2 teachers are involved in the preparation work.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any urgent matters, please kindly contact your child's form teacher.

Thank you very much for your understanding. Have a great day!

Yours Sincerely,
Ms. Lim Ke Xin
P2 Level Custodian

Pls be reminded to submit a passport size photo of your child to the form teacher latest by this week. The passport size photo will be used for the Holistic Assessment Portfolio for each pupil.

Do take note that Meet The Parents Session for P1 and P2 will be adjourned to
TERM 2 WEEK 1. This is because all teachers currently require more time to prepare your child's holistic portfolio and comments. Thank you for your kind understanding.

You will be receiving a notification letter from all form teachers. You can either contact the form teacher through email, phone or face-to-face meetup.

The Chinese Pictorial Book Corner in the library (Hui Ben Guan) will be officially opened to all pupils during recess time next week. Mr Lim Hock Lai and a group of parent volunteers will be present to read Chinese Stories to the children during recess. This is a very valuable experience and do encourage your child to attend after he/she has eaten.

Thank you for your time in reading! Have a good day! :)
