Swim Gala
As you know, we had to cancel our Swim Gala on Friday due to the ongoing haze. I have been very impressed with the positive attitude shown by all students who were clearly disappointed that the event didn't take place. I also would like to recognise the hard work of our PE teacher, Ms. Katie Allan and the rest of our planning team who spent many hours putting together another excellent Swim Gala Programme. We are in contact with different venues around Singapore to find out if we can reschedule this important community event. Once I have more information, I'll share it with you on this blog.

Calling all runners and walkers!
This coming November 7th, interested MS students, parents, and teachers will be able to participate in the 2015 Urgent Run. This run is a World Toilet Organisation global event to draw attention to the urgent call for action to end the sanitation crisis.
World Toilet Organisation (WTO) is a global non-profit working towards a world with a clean, safe toilet and sanitation for everyone, everywhere, at all times. Their mission is to continue to build the global sanitation movement through collaborative action that inspires and drives demand for sanitation, and provides innovative solutions to achieve sustainable sanitation for all.
