Message From PTA Chair

Happy New Year, and the Chinese New Year holiday break is around the corner!

I am pleased to update the upcoming activities facilitated and hosted by the PTA after the next break.

Workshop: Gaming Disorder, 6th February, 2020 (Thursday) 17:45 – 20:00 

The PTA is delighted to invite Dr. Ronnie Pao to host a presentation for us again. Dr. Pao hosted a presentation for us in last September for the topic: Depression – The Silent Disease. The new topic named as “Gaming Disorder” is a relatively new concept, and it has officially been recognised as a medical condition by the World Health Organisation. This presentation will concentrate on the concept of gaming disorder; how to recognise it and how to use modern technology in a healthy manner.

The Gaming Disorder presentation is one of 4 workshops within SIS Saftey Week. Please refer to the invitation letter issued by our Vice Principal – Ms. Lucie Purves, dated 7th January, for sign up details.

Annual School Fair: NIGHTFEST, 14th February, 2020 (Friday) 16:00 – 21:00 

NIGHTFEST is a school fair which combines fund raising and community-building. Funds raised will be used for facility upgrades for our school. The PTA welcome all sorts of support from parents, teachers, staff and students to assist us in organise the event.

Please sign up for the area(s) you wish to support / contribute to, as every bit helps.
