Prep A

The Ants First Year of School

Time has flown by so quickly for the Prep A children. I remember their first days of school when they were still shy and unsure of themselves and how school works. There were a few tears and challenges, but their innate hardworking nature to be successful became evident as the days, weeks, months and terms passed. I’m not surprised as they are after all the fantastic Ants.

Now that the end of the school year has come, let’s celebrate how far the Prep A children have come. I’m so proud of them for their love for learning and thirst to become better people. My heartfelt thanks to the parents for their dedication in sharing my passion for teaching their children. 

Next year will be equally exciting. I wish them all the best and hope that they carry with them all the knowledge and values they learnt in Prep and never forget the fun and funny times we had.
