Choir pupils have done us proud!

Dear all,

I had the chance to attend EDP's very first choir concert at The Republic Cultural Centre yesterday. The choir pupils put up an inspiring performance. The audience were enthralled watching them. To our 4A choir pupils, Ceres, Crystal, Exley, Freesia, Eunice, Rachel and Zi Qi, I would like to wish them "Well done!"

You have indeed made all of us, teachers, pupils and parents proud of you.

Three cheers for Choir!

Farewell, my 4A students

Dear all,

Thank you for all the wonderful memories over the past 2 years, from 3A to 4A. Some of you will be separated into different classes in P5 but please do not lose the bonds of friendship you have forged over these years with your P4 classmates. I am glad to have taught you and I hope you have benefited from my teaching. It is my hope that you will persevere on with your studies as well as develop into good morally upright citizens of Singapore. 

I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. Remember, if you need a listening ear anytime, I will still be around in the school for you. You can meet up with me or just drop me an email whenever you feel like it. Do keep in touch, ok!
