Dragon Boat
On Monday, 6 June, we will be celebrating Dragon Boat Festival. The school has entered teams which will compete against other foreign teams. Unfortunately Grade One is too small to compete but it will be great to see you at NanLiao to share in the festive experience. There will be no school on Monday. We hope that you enjoy this time with your loved ones at home. For those of you going away, we wish you a safe and relaxing journey.

Change of clothes
As the weather is heating up, please could you send a change of clothes for your child to school, especially on a Tuesday and Thursday, so that they can change after PE.

Transfer Reports
If your child will be leave us at the end of the year and you require a transfer report, please can you let me know, so that we can have them ready for you on time.

End of Year Party
Our last party for the year will be help on Wednesday, 22 June. It would be great if you could join us in celebrating a great year in Grade 1.

Some Important Dates
