Ending of the school holidays

Dear all,

Hope you enjoyed pizza and learnt and revised through the 4 days of extra lessons. You have tomorrow to rest up and don't forget to push hard for the next 3 weeks as PSLE draws near. Don't give up and doubt that you will never be able to do well. As shown by Mrs Liu during her class talk, there are jumps from Ds and Es to grades like A, B and C. So it is definitely possible if you keep the faith and WORK HARD with it.
