Please review the attached list of activities on offer
and assist your son/daughter in making first, second
and third choices for the activities they wish to participate
in this term. While I will do my best to accommodate
all students with their first choice of activity, all
activities have a maximum number and students will be
allocated places on a first-come, first-served basis.
The attached form should be returned to the homeroom
teacher by 14th September so that lists can be finalised
for the first day of activities. Please ensure that
the form is fully completed with all the choices written
clearly (forms with only a first choice will not be
accepted).
Additionally, I am pleased to announce that we are
looking into expanding our ECA program this year with
the help of outside agencies. A letter will be sent
out in the coming weeks concerning the details of these
new after school activities.
Thank you for helping to make these choices and I trust
that your son/daughter gets the most out of their extra
curricular activity this term.
Sincerely,
Mr. Wattie Chan
(Activities Coordinator)
