Briefing for Winter Choral Festival

Dear parents and choristers,
Just a gentle reminder to those going for the HK WCF.
There will be a pre-trip briefing TOMORROW, 19 November, from 9 to 11 am @ Coronation Road Campus (CRC), Music Room 4.
Unfortunately, you cannot park in the school should you drive as the CRC carpark will be reserved for NYPS teachers and staff as KRC campus will be packed with P1 Orientation children and parents.
You can park nearby at Princess of Wales Rd, Kingsmead Rd, etc. Please remember to adhere to the parking rules so as not to receive a summon from the Traffic Police.
Thank you!

Cancellation of Choir Practice on 14 October

Dear choir members and parents,

This is to inform you that our choir practice this Friday, 14 October, is CANCELLED.
This because our conductor has to attend the SYF A/P briefing for Secondary Schools/ JCs.
Thank you!

Dear parents and choir members,

This is to inform you that there is NO CHOIR PRACTICE during the September school holidays.
It was initially planned to have our practice next Monday and Tuesday, but given the fact that many of our P5 students will not be able to attend because of a Chinese composition workshop, we have decided to call it off and have more intensive rehearsals in Term 4.

Apologies also with the delay in giving you the consent and sign up form for the Hong Kong Winter Choral Festival. Rest assured that we are still going but the paperwork is a little bit more complicated than expected. You will definitely get them after the school holidays. I want to thank those who did submit their passport details already and I will hold on to them.

Have a wonderful break and watch this space again in the next few days for the Term 4 schedule.

Thank you!

... And welcome back to Term 3!

Hi everyone...
I hope everyone's well-rested and raring to go for Term 3.
There are quite a few disruptions later on in the term due to PSLE oral preparations and Teachers' Day celebrations.

We are also recruiting P3 students this semester so please tell your friends about it if they are interested, and for them to come for an audition. 

Thank you... and see you this Thursday!
