SYF Matters.

Dear Parents,

We are 7 days away from our big day and the heat is on.

You are most welcomed to watch our boys perform at Republic Poly next week. We are scheduled to perform around 2pm and it is open to the public, so no tickets are needed. Results will be announced after 5.15pm.

The boys have been issued a letter regarding the itinerary. They will be dismissed from class at 9.45am to rest and have their meal, which will be catered. We will depart the school at 12.15pm and hope to be back by 6.30pm.

Regarding the uniforms, please label everything so that nothing gets lost or mixed up. Pants should be black and formal, not cargo pants with pockets around the knees or thighs. Black shoes and black socks are not to be forgotten, with the shoes being clean cut ones. No coloured lines around the edges whatsoever please.

We would be greatly indebted to you should you assist us in the preparations from 11.30am onwards. Please keep our boys in your prayers.

Warmest regards,
Miss Nurul
