A big thank you to parents who helped out during the Prize-giving ceremony performance.

Latest update on performance time and venue

Dear parents,
There's a change. Please report to Music Room 1 at 9:30am for GIRLS and 10am for BOYS for the Prize-giving ceremony. As seats are ticketed and available 2 tickets for each prize winner, parents of performers will not be able to watch the performance. This is because there are really limited seats available in the hall. Hope you'll understand.
Thank you.

Leotards are here!

Dear parents,
For girls involved in the Prize-giving ceremony performance, the leotards are here. I'll have Miss Shanice Lim to distribute to the girls who need them. Please pay $27.70 to Miss Shanice Lim. She will collect on my behalf. I'm on hospitalisation leave and have Miss Josephine Li, Miss Shanice Lim and Mdm Seah LH to be in charge of the performance. Please look for them if you have any queries.
Thank you,
Mrs Tam

Reporting time for Prize-giving ceremony performance

For pupils who are involved in the Prize-giving ceremony performance on 17 Nov, please reach school by 10am. Venue to be confirmed.

We will be performing only for Session 2 of the prize-giving ceremony which commences at 11am. Pupils will need to do warm up before the actual performance.

All girls to apply foundation on the face from home. This is for hygiene purposes and also to save time for make-up. When they reach school, parent volunteers and teachers in charge will help to apply blushes and eye shadows. I hereby sought the help of parents who are able to do simple make up and hairdo for the girls. Please inform Coach Feng if you can help out.

On top of the coaches, Mdm Seah and Miss Josephine Li will be the teachers-in-charge on that day. Parents will be able to take the pupils home once the performance is over.

Thank you!
~Mrs Tam

purchase leotard for Prize Giving Ceremony performance

Dear parents,
Girls who are taking part in the performance for the Prize Giving Ceremony on 17 Nov in school will need to purchase a pink sleeveless leotard. It is the same leotard as the one used for last year's GymFest in Nov 2016, as seen below:



It cost about $30 after delivery charge and exchange rate. Girls who bought it last year need not purchase again if they can still wear it. This design shall be our school's performance leotard and also training leotard. I shall purchase in bulk for all girls who need it (to get a cheaper delivery charge) and get the teachers in charge to collect money from individual girl.

For boy participants, they will wear the blue competition leotard and white shorts. For boys who do not have it, they will need to purchase too. It'll cost more as it's used for competition as well. I'll individually inform the boys involved.

WAG & MAG Selection by Singapore Gymnastics

Some parents may find our sch training has too much disruptions due to the suspension of CCA reflected in the school calendar. A good way to supplement the school training is to join the SG stable if the gymnast goes for and is eligible to be selected to be trained under SG. The chance is here:

Singapore Gymnastics (SG) is conducting a talent identification selection trial for our National Training Centre Men’s (MAG) and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) Programs, in hope of identifying talented children who have the potential to represent Singapore at major games (South East Asian Games, Asian Games, Olympic Games etc) and championships in the future. Students will be put through a series of testing stations conducted by the National Coaches and/or SG staff for us to have an understanding of each child’s aptitude and current abilities in gymnastics. The stations will only be revealed on the day of the selection trials. This selection trial is suitable for any boys and/or girls, 7 years old and up (WAG), 7 -9 years old (MAG). It is NOT necessary to have background in the sport to be eligible for this selections.
