Firstly, many thanks to those of you who had attended our “4 in 1” Celebration Event on the 31 August. Feedback on the event has been very good and I believe most of us were amazed at the beautiful decor and the wonderful set-up of the function room that made the event very Singaporean. Our thanks too, to the various stall holders and to Prima Singapore for the effort and support to make the Pasar Malam aspect of the event so lively and interesting. Lastly, our gratitude to all the volunteers who have assisted in the planning, organisation and execution of this event. They have done a great job and I would like to thank them once again for their contribution.
The event also coincided with the launch of the SUKA Mandarin Programme for Children. And as a follow-on to the launch, the Chinese School partner (Hua Hsia) for the Programme is having an Open Day at the school in Hampstead, North London. Parents who are interested to sign up their children for the SUKA Mandarin Programme are encouraged to register for the Open Day (8 September, Sunday) and to go and meet the principal and teachers who shall be administering and teaching this Programme. The Programme will track the Singapore schools’ syllabus for teaching Mandarin closely and will assist in the integration of your children’s education when they return to Singapore and re-join the Singapore schools’ system.
Registration for the Open Day can be done by contacting Hua Hsia Tel: 020 8201 0698 or email office@huahsia-chinese.org.uk
