FAMILY DAY 8 MARCH 2008
The school will be organising a Family Day on 8 March 2008. It will be from 9am to 4pm.
For those of you who came for this year's Family Day, you must have seen many parents helping out at the food stalls.
Next year's Family Day will be on a bigger scale as the school is hoping to raise funds for the upgrading works. As parents, we certainly would like to help and support the school in their fund raising efforts.
Some members of our CCE Exco are part of the school's fund-raising committee and the preparation work has begun.
There will be many more games and food stalls, a jumble sale, lots of fun activities for the kids and also family bonding activities.
We hope that you can contribute in whatever area you are comfortable with. You can donate prizes, goodies for the jumble sale, sponsorship of food stalls and even your helping hands on the day itself.
Please email to our special fund raising email address :
sacpfundraise@yahoo.com.sg
and let us know which area you would like to contribute.
Hope to hear from you soon !

Children's Day 2007
This year's Children's Day was a very special one for the girls as they each went home with a goodie bag of gifts.
The Lucky Dip, free ice cream, free popcorn and snacks were all sponsored by some very generous parents.
We would like to thank all parents who sponsored the items and parents who came down to help us at the event.
We put in alot of effort into this event but it would not have been possible if parents did not chip in.
The girls were so excited and very delighted. One girl told her teacher, "This is a real cool way to celebrate Children's Day!"
To all the girls of SACPS, we wish them a Blessed Children's Day !

International Peace Day 2007
The school commemorated International Peace Day on 21 Sept 2007. All students and staff were given slips of coloured paper to pen down their Peace Pledges. They then looped these slips of papers and formed their class Peace Chains. Afterwhich, the entire school came out of their classrooms to join hands while singing the song 'Heal the World'. It was a heartwarming sight!
CCEs helped to put up these Peace Chains in the hall and the canteen. Thanks for helping us make the Peace Ceremony a meaningful one !

Take a Look at Who's Who in the CCE Exco
We re-structured and formed an Exco in January 2007. Here's the structure. Get to know us when you come for workshops or get-together nites. We really need to build a support network among the CCEs.
Once we get our glamour shots done, we'll certainly put them up here !

Mothers' Day Cookies and Brownies Sale in May
The project was initiated by Miss Annie Foo, the teacher who works closely with us. Diana, managed to get a parent who so generously donated cookies for the sale. Alice got us a baker who also generously baked us some lovely brownies for the sale.
The girls, teachers and even canteen staff loved the cookies and brownies. We had to have a 2nd sale as the response was too overwhelming.
Proceeds were donated to a mission in Mongolia! We were so proud of the hard work and contributions of all the CCEs who supported in this project.
Workshops for Parents by SFE Programme
Since the setup of the School Family Education Programme in the school in April 2006, many parents have benefitted through the workshops organised. These parenting workshops have been well-attended. Angelia, our Exco member and SFE co-ordinator has tirelessly organised these workshops by getting relevant and good speakers this past year.Do click on the link below for more information about the SFE Programme.http://www.sfe.org.sg/
Tsuen Wan Hong Kong School Visit
The CCEs played hosts to parents of students from Tsuen Wan Hong Kong School in April. There was a tour around the school and a casual 'makan' session with the parents. It was an interesting experience for all.
Here's a pic of the whole group.
Sports Carnival 2007
Sports Carnival was a blast as CCEs gathered to show their athletic talents.Not forgetting the points gained for their daughters' Houses!
SACPS Family Day 2007
