Principal's note


30 May 2011

Thank you for Attending the Victoria School Open House 2011

Dear P6 Boys and Parents

Thank you for coming to our Open House last Saturday.

We were very encouraged by your enthusiasm and interest to know more about our school. Our staff and students also enjoyed meeting you and I hope you have had a good visit.

We prepared 1000 copies of the prospectus but the turnout exceeded this number. Our apology to the boys and parents who did not receive a copy. We will be putting up a soft copy of the prospectus soon. If you would like a copy mailed to you, please write to us at [email protected]

We are sorry that there was limited parking space within the school. We have written to the LTA to help explain the parking situation outside the school.

I hope that you would consider our school as one of your key choices and I look forward to seeing you in the Class of 2015.

I read the prospectus already. They are going to adopt the Teaching for Understanding (TfU) framework for their curriculum. I anticipate that value-added results will emerge.
