Children's Day 2011 - 6 October 2011

Children’s Day was celebrated in school on 6 October 2011 and it definitely was a fun and exciting day for the girls.

On top of the slightly longer recess, the girls were each treated to a cup of Matkool Ice Cream and a pack Potato Chips. There was also a surprise lucky dip and it was a sure win as each girl walked away with items such as stationery, stickers and hair accessories. Girls were delighted with the Henna and Tattoo booths which saw long queues as CCEs manning these booths worked tirelessly on the craft for the girls.

Check out the pictures of the day here.

Mrs Corinna Foo and the CCE Exco would like to thank the parents who have answered our call and generously donated cash & items to make the event possible. Thanks also to all the CCEs who helped out during the AM & PM sessions - you were great in taking on the assigned roles so that we could ensure all 1400 girls had their share of goodies in the quickest and orderly manner.

Children's Day 2011 - Updated

Thank you to all parents who have already generously contributed towards our school Children's Day Celebration!

Since our last appeal, we now realise the event will be held concurrently with Lower Primary Games Day. As such, due to time and space constraint, we will scrap the international games booths. Instead, we will now be setting up tattoo/henna booth as well as a lucky dip booth. Distribution of free ice cream will still be the highlight of the day.

All the items donated as token for games booths previously will be used for lucky dip. We hope that all of 1350 girls will be able to get at least one token from the lucky dip. Todate, we have yet to reach the desired number of tokens.

Once again, we are appealing for your generosity to donate the following items :

1) Tokens for Lucky Dip (Stationery/Hair Accessories)

2) Cash Donation (preferred) - all donations for this appeal will be spent for Children's Day only.

For Token Donation:

All items should be new and unused, any quantity will be acceptable.

Please put your items in a plastic bag, label the bag "Children's Day"with your daughter's name and class and submit it to General Office by 21 September 2011.

For Cash Donation:

Kindly give your donations in the form of cash or cheque make payable to "SACP Magdalenian Fund".

Please write "Children's Day Donation" with your daughter's name and class at the back of the cheque and submit it to General Office by 21 September 2011.

Parents, we look forward to your kind generosity.

Let's make this Children’s Day a memorable one for our girls!
