BEST CLASS Award 2008!!!

Congratulations, 1G!!

You deserve this award for winning the 'Best Class Design Award', for the Best Class Spirit and for attaining the lowest number of late comers for the year.

Be proud of who you are. Be proud of the class you are in.... a class above the rest!

For all the times you stood by me... giving me the inspiration and strength to carry me through...

I thank you! ;)

With lots of love,
Mrs Melissa Lim

Meet-The-Parents ;)

Dear Guys,

The MTP session is finally over. ;)
I've met your parents. They've heard a lot about you, what naughty things you did in school, of coz the great things you did as well. I have also shared a lot about how you have progressed academically over the year and what improvements you've got to make.

I have GREAT expectations for the lot of you. And I think it is very important that you start setting goals for yourself too. Have faith in yourself and continue to strive hard for greater successes... one step at a time.

If you have done well... don't slacken. Continue to do what is right, something must be correct... so keep at it. Challenge yourself to greater things in life. Take up a sport if you are not someone who is very fit. Do something different this holiday... pick up Salsa dancing with your mom? ;) Learn something new this holiday. Take up art, learn a new instrument. Or at least, aim to spend more quality time with your family, help out with some chores, babysit your sister.... or volunteer your time for the better of the community at large. DO SOMETHING FRUITFUL.

If you did not meet expectations academically, do yourself a favour. Start setting goals for yourself. Plan a study time table for the holidays. Set aside time to read up. This is not time to cry over spilled milk. This is time to buck up and start doing something. Upset over your results? Well, its too late to change the grade on your report book.... but not to late to change your attitudes towards your studies. You can make that change. So do it. For yourself. ;) Plan, Plan, Plan. "Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail".

Its been a great, eventful evening. Thank you parents for turning up and sharing your evening with us. I hope you've taken away at least 1 learning point with you today. I have definitely learnt interesting stuff by just listening to you.

Thank you class com for being there to help out. Even under pressure, you were still able to support one another and deliver what you were tasked to do. And for that, I am very proud of you. ;) You guys have matured over time. I am very pleased to see how time has made you moth from being 'Little Devils' to little gentlemen that you guys are now. Do continue to improve and enhance yourself in your own learning. Be inquisitive, be dilligent and be a keen learner.

All the best, 1G! (I do hope I will follow the class up into Sec 2. I had a great time hanging out with you guys, teaching and spending time with you guys.)

In Memories We Are Rich!
With Love,
Mrs Melissa Lim

Email to parents - Meet-The-Parents Session

Email to parents on 9th October 2008 at 12:57pm.

Dear Parents of 1G,

This email is to inform you that Victoria School will be holding a 'Meet-The-Parents' session for Secondary One, on the 22nd October 2008, Wednesday at 6:30pm.

Registration will be held in your child's classroom, followed by a chat session with the Form and Assistant Form Teachers. The session is likely to end at 8:30pm after the Principal's address and other short briefings. Hence, you might consider having an early dinner on that day.

The boys have been given a copy of the programme and a reply slip for indication of your attendance for the event. Both parents are invited to attend. Please kindly have it returned to us by 15th October.

Thank you and have a lovely week ahead.
Regards,
Mrs Melissa Lim

Selamat Hari Raya

Dear guys,

Firstly, am taking this chance to wish all of our muslim friends a Selamat Hari Raya. ;p

For the rest of you guys who are not celebrating the occasion, do ensure that you make good use of this short holiday to read up and revise your work for the coming examinations next week.

There is very little time left from the last countdown. I really do hope you are all very prepared for this major examination in your junior year in VS. Eat well... zzzz well...

Start mugging!!!! ;p
Mrs Melissa Lim

Are you READY?

Dear Guys,

By the time you read this message, you would have completed 2 mock exams.
How are you feeling? Are you happy with how you have performed? Are you stressed and pressured to perform better?

I hope you are happy as you studied and you did your best for the paper. You took it like its the real paper and you did all you could to score. But I hope you are not overly happy and are complacent, because there is still the year end exams to sit for and you should be more than ready to sit for that. ;p

I do also hope you are stressed and pressured enough to perform better. You are never too good... well, if you think you are.. I'll be really upset to know that. Do however, take little breaks from your revision and breathe in alittle fresh air. Relax, listen to some light soft music that will relax your buzzing brains... zzzzz.... power naps in the afternoons can help you POWER UP! Take a short walk, enjoy the greenery and eat healthy. Green tea and junk food can make you lethargic and zap your memory. ;p

Do heed my advice and form the study groups that can help you in your learning and understanding of your work. Do not hesitate to ask questions NOW when in doubt.

Enjoy your revision! Work hard!
Mrs Melissa Lim

Thank you for the Memorable Teachers' Day!

Dear Guys,

Its been great fun doing the Limbo... love it lots...

we should have a competition for this.. will be fun! ;p

Love,

Mrs Melissa Lim

Dear Guys,

I am happy to note that some of you have started your revision and are studying hard.
You do not have the luxury of time so pls do start if you have yet to begin any form of revision for the year end exams.

Let me know if you need more help for planning a time table to study. Otherwise, what I have mentioned and done in class in the last FT time would be sufficient for you to get yourself started. You'll need all the motivation you can get + the determination to wanna make it. ;p Prep yourself for your revision journey and tell yourself that you'll make it, no matter how long the journey would be.

*** Important ***

I'll need your help to complete your CIP of 6 hours, so that all these can be recorded in your report slips at year end. However, the following names are people who have not completed your CIP. You'll need to see me if you want me to plan a CIP for you.

Jonah, Jeremy, Benjamin, Darwish, Deon, Hansel, Iskandar, Jonathan Hoong, Lucas, Shuai Chen, Weiquan, Weiming, Nicholas, Nikhil, Anirudh, Russell, Lip Sing, Kian Meng, Kenneth, Enquan, Timothy.

The above names have incomplete or ZERO CIP hours for year 2008.
If you think there might be a mistake, you can see me to check out or approach your teacher whom you did CIP for to confirm this.


Have a great weekend.
Mrs Melissa Lim

RH Day Celebrations 2008

Dear Guys,

I hope you have all enjoyed a fun-filled and meaningful RH day. This day is special and let's all ensure that we get to celebrate this day every year. ;p

Thank you those who have turned up decked in your most beautiful ethnic costumes... and to those who din but tried your very best to get one. I appreciate your efforts and am sure you did what was your best for the class.

Just in case you did not know, we were the 2nd in line to winning the class prize of the most number of ethnic participants. The 1st was 3B.. I've counted, we have 12... which frankly, already quite a number, considering many of us do not usually dress up in this form of clothing often.

Anyway, I hope you had fun and may you continue to have a great week ahead.
3 cheers for 1G!!!


Mrs Melissa Lim
