Total Defence Day on 15 Feb 2016

Dear Parents,

 

The school will be commemorating Total Defence Day on 15 February 2016, an annual event which marks the surrender of Singapore to the Japanese during World War 2.

The NE committee has planned various activities for your child to learn more about the significance of Total Defence. As part of the activities, the school would also be carrying out an emergency preparedness drill  on 15 Feb 2016 to increase awareness and to improve capabilities to respond to real events. Briefing sessions would be conducted to ensure that all pupils know what to do during the drill.

 

For your information only.

Di Zi Gui Parent-Child Workshop 2016 Registration

Dear Parents,

 

NYPS Di Zi Gui Parent-Child (Mandarin) Workshop 2016 is open for registration!

 

至要莫如教子

 

如何令孩子身心健康成长，是当今父母最关心的课题。为人父母者皆忧虑子女无心向学、自私虚荣、没有礼貌、对自己的人生没有志向。

 

我们相信父母最迫切要知道的是：

•  教育子女应从何着手？

•  当孩子犯错的时候该怎么办？

•  什么是正确的学习方法？

•  如何帮助子女奠定幸福人生的基础？

 

我们希望通过参加南洋小学《弟子规》学习班的课程，对您导正孩子的人生之路，带来一定的启迪和帮助。
