Our Monthly Bulletin Founded 1947 Nan Chiau Primary School August 2017 Our Monthly Bulletin Founded 1947 Nan Chiau Primary School August 2017 Dear Parents, Established in 1947, Nan Chiau has been striving to progress with time, continuously undergoing self-renewal in line with the needs of the nation and making positive contributions to the educational development of Singapore. As we celebrate the school’s 70th anniversary this year, the school will be organising a carnival with the support of our dedicated PSG. We welcome the alumni to return home to join in the celebration and catch up with their ex-primary school teachers. In August, we also celebrate National Day. The theme for 2017, #OneNationTogether, reminds Singaporeans that regardless of origin and background, we unite as one people and one nation. May we set the right tone for our children, ingrain in them the right mindset and values so that they can grow into citizens of good character and build the long-lasting friendship with their peers. We will be celebrating Teachers’ Day at the end of August. As the Chinese saying goes, “饮水思源” which literally means “when drinking water, think of its source”. Let us not forget the teachers who have nurtured our students tirelessly. Giving them a note of appreciation will be a nice gesture to thank them for their support, guidance and sharing of precious life lessons. I wish all of you a happy National Day and to all my wonderful colleagues, A HAPPY TEACHERS’ DAY! Mdm Mae Quah Principal Respect . Responsibility . Sincerity .
