Mother's Day Flower Sale 2010

With Mother's Day round the corner, the School held a Mother's Day Flower Sale on Thursday 29 April 2010. Proceeds from the sale go to the School Building Fund.

This flower is the fruit of labour of a few CCEs who spent several hours hand making them. Simple as it looks, it nevertheless wowed the girls. The sale was overwhelming during the am and pm recesses.

Thank you girls for showing your love for mum and we are sorry we had to turn away many of you as the flowers were snapped up very quickly.

Thank you to all CCEs who turn up to support the School in this activity!
