It was wonderful to see many parents this week at the Meet the Teacher Nights. Many of you commented on the positive impact of the works that were done at Paterson over the holidays. This weekend we will be replacing the covering over the Elementary School playground which will allow us to have an outdoor all weather area.
I was also delighted this week to welcome Ms Roselinda Binte Famin our new Paterson Secretary. Linda joins Ms Sharon Chua in the Paterson office helping to make the school run smoothly.
