Principal, Lim Yan Hock presented a brief introduction and VPs, Heads of Level and the respective form-teachers were introduced. The Discipline Master gave a concise description of the proper hair and school attire, and to highlight the prohibition of mobile phones and among other things to the attentive parents and their children.
It was indeed a scene of activity - parents asking the same questions - "Must my child wear the newly-bought uniform?" "What time does the school book-shop closes?" "I forgot to bring the Report Book. Can bring on 4th Jan?" "Must bring the Health Booklet too?... ok". Form teachers, co-form teachers (and aided by a PSG member) were accustomed to such questions and fielded them efficiently.
The important instructions were impressed upon each parent & pupil patiently. These instructions included the time at which school commences on 4th Jan 2010, the compulsory Adventure Camp on 7-8th Jan 2010, CCA Open House and the Meet-the-Parents session on 9th Jan. In no time at all, the registration was over, and parents and their children were busy with the measurements of the PE attire and school jacket, and their purchases of school uniforms and text-books/stationery.
By 11.30am, school councillors were seen clearing the chairs from the Bethel Hall. PSG members are now concerned with plans for the coming activities, the first one being the Adventure Camp on 7th-8th Jan.
We are encouraged that at the end of this day, many new parents have signed up to join the PSG. It is our hope that these new parents would be active in volunteering their time and effort for the benefit of the school and in turn, their children.
Finally, we would like to welcome the new pupils in the PHS family for the next four years, and even more, as Alumni members.
