Dear DCIS Parents and Guardians,
May I wish all the Muslim members of the DCIS community my best wishes for the Holy month of Ramadan.
We had a fantastic House Day on Wednesday using junk to create iconic art pieces around the theme of the house areas and the school’s vision. There were some truly amazing creations and congratulations to Ubin for winning the Primary competition and Kranji for their triumph in the Secondary section. The sculpture that highlighted the history of Kranji and its link with the recent history of Singapore was inspiring.
Last weekend was a very exciting one in the UK. As well as the FA Cup final we also had a Royal Wedding as Prince Harry married Meghan Markle. On Friday our Reception and Nursery children got into the spirit of the wedding and there were many Harrys and Meghans around the school. As well as dressing up they enjoyed a fitting tea.
A reminder that apart from judo and tennis there will no ECAs running this Friday as we start the half term holiday at 3pm. I would like to wish all those of you who are having some time off a restful break and we look forward to seeing everyone back to school on Monday 4th June.
Mr. Christopher Short
Principal
