Dear PTA Members

The first half of the year has passed so quickly. Over the last months, we have been busy planning the programmes for the second half of 2010.

The first activity on the list which we would really need your support is the St Andrew's Secondary School Food Fair which will be held on the Friday, 30th July 2010.

SAPTA's Food & Funfair cum Children's Day Celebration 2009
A report from Dorcas Ho, SAPTA Organizing Committee, Project Leader

I was in the midst of planning the St Andrew's PTA Annual Foodfair for this year, when Thomas gave me the Magic Date, '25th September' and the bomb.
He wanted this year's Foodfair to coincide with the Children's Day Celebration, a much earlier one, so that the Primary Sixes can get to enjoy their last Children's Day, then quickly settle down, back to their exam preparations.

Hi Parents of Junior Saints,
The Saints Athletic Club was formed in 2007, in the hope to encourage our junior saints to run, for fun as well as competively.

The art of running is the basis of all sports.

In the last two years with our boys, I can see the need to educate them on the importance of wearing their shoes properly. Our boys, majority of them, do not tighten their shoes properly. They loosely tie their laces so can easily slip on and off their shoes.

The SAPTA, in association with St Andrew's Alumni, are organising the bi-annual Saints Golf Challenge.

The event aims to raise funds to help provide supplementary academic
coaching for our sports boys who make big sacrifices by training and playing for
St. Andrew’s. Help us raise the funds we need by playing golf, coming to dinner
or doing both!

Hi all

I've made some changes to the site, as returning visitors can tell. There have been a few technical challenges overcome, a number yet unresolved, but at least the major parts of the site are in place.

Here are some of the changes, some are cosmetic, others under the hood:

• Changed from two column layout to three columns. This allows more content to be displayed without requiring too much vertical scrolling of the webpage.

Registered SAPTA site members can now post news stories on the homepage.

Up till now, only the site admin could post articles, but we believe many members and parents have interesting stories to share, so once you're logged in, you can post your news articles here!

News items can include sharing results of our boys' CCA and sports events, like matches played, trips organised, etc.

We'll soon be putting up a photo gallery, so your news stories can also be accompanied by photos you've taken!

This is the title of the article in the Straits Times on Friday, Mar 28, 2008, written by Chua Mui Hoong on page 31.

Did anyone else read this article? I thought it was a very good read and interesting point of view which I totally agree with.
