SFE Parent-Child Bonding Trip to Kukp 15 May 2010

A group of 62 parents & children went for a 1 day bonding trip to Kukup on 15 May 2010. The trip was organised by our SFE Co-ordinator Margarette Taylor with Family Life Society.

We left the school at 630am and after crossing the Second Link and breakfast at Gelang Patah, we jumped straight into the string of exciting activities that were lined up for the day - batik painting, a visit to the pewter factory, lunch @ the kelong followed by a visit to the kelong.

What would a trip to Johore Bahru be without some shopping! The group spent about 1.5hrs at Tebrau City getting some good bargains. After a sumptuous dinner, it was home sweet home after an exhausting but no doubt enjoyable and enriching day for all.

Here are some of the comments from parents who have joined us for the trip:

Kelly Anne Soh - We like the batik painting and kelong trip.

Juliana Jahja - I had a wonderful time spending the day with my daugther. Job well done, thanks a bunch!

Noraini Bte Jayani - It was an eye opener for my child to see the life of the fishing villagers in Kukup and had our first experience at batik painting.

Roland & Priscilla Seet - Well Done! The guide was excellent - speaks well and very knowledgeable

Lily Wong - The trip was very good for family bonding and my child had gained some knowledge from the trip.

Look out for future family bonding activities and we hope more families will come join us!
