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!

43rd Annual Track & Field Meet 10 March 2011

Under the hot and blistering sun, the P3-P6 girls came together for the 43rd Annual Track & Field Meet on Thursday 10 March 2011.

The competitors for the day lived up to the athlete's pledge they took at the opening of the meet and sportsmanship was the name of the game throughout the morning. Girls who were not competing gave their all by cheering for their respective houses and friends.

The highlight of the morning was the Parents Race - its was heartening to see so many parents coming forward to take part in it and this thrilled the girls.

Equally thrilling was the Teachers Race which got many girls up on their feet cheering the teachers who were representing their houses.

Congratulations to all participants of the meet and thank you parents, your presence today @ Bedok Stadium meant a lot to your daughters!
