Malay Parent Volunteer required to help conduct Conversational Malay Classes

Message from William Tan

Dear Fellow Parents,

So far we have three Parent Volunteers who have been trained to conduct Conversational Mandarin and Malay classes.

They are: (1) Christina Ng(2) Jane Wu(3) Saidah. We thank these 3 parents for volunteering their time to help our children.

Christina and Jane will be conducting Conversational Mandarin Classes for non-Chinese students, while Saidah will be conducting Conversational Malay Classes for non-Malay students.

The aim of this programme is to help non-Chinese and non-Malays learn Mandarin or Malay respectively. Parent Volunteers usually conduct these classes as they are non-examinable, andthis helps to free up teachers to conduct other lessons. Mdm Koh Meng Geok, HOD Mother Tongue, has asked for another Malay Parent Volunteer to help conduct Conversational Malay Classes as we have only one Malay Parent Volunteer teacher at the moment.

Such volunteers will be sent for training, and paid a small allowance. Forthose who are keen on helping out, please contact Mdm Koh at mailto:atkoh_meng_geok@moe.edu.sg.

Parent Class Reps - Could you help to publicise this information through your Class Network system please?

Warm Regards,William

Today is the 2nd day of CCA Orientation and it is compulsory for the students to attend the 3 days CCA Orientation Program from 2.30 - 6.15pm. Students are required to submit their CCA application via the bedok view portal tomorrow after the 3-days orientation program.

Updates for today - Class timetable, Online registration for CCA & Bedok View on facebook

Dear Parents,

A few updates today =)

The class timetable is distributed to the students today.

The students are also told to register for their CCA using the Bedok View Portal. Faith tried to register online but it seems that her NRIC No. which is also the User ID does not work. Thus, I am checking with Mrs Kwa if the new (Sec 1) students are already registered in the system.

The students are also encouraged to join the Bedok View on facebook and Faith has registered herself there =)

Hope your children enjoy the CCA orientation today and this will continue for the next 2 days =) It seems that many of the class members will be joining the basketball, netball and badminton.

Have a nice evening.

The Parents' Talk, dinner & campfire today =)

The Parents' Talk today is so informative and I enjoyed the session by Mrs Jaya Das most =) She is just so humorous and engaging that the audience were all laughing throughout her session.

I am happy to meet with many parents (beckons !) of Sec1N7 during the Parents' Talk & dinner. Diana, Zaleha, Nora, Jennis, Bee Hong, Julie, Noraini, Shur Shiuan, Linda, Sophia, Wey Ming, Peck Suan, Ranga, Fati, Bernard, Sylvia and Sharifah, let us stay in touch and help our teenagers throughout their journey in Bedok View.

Many of us have managed to talk to the two form teachers, Ms Ma Lay Hwa (Mrs Kwa) & Mdm Teo Mei Lee and we know that our children will be in good hands and they will have fun inside the class and not outside the class ! xD

Had a chat with Faith about her experience during the two days camp and she shared some interesting facts about the class. There are 28 boys and 13 girls in the class. Many of them are very tall with the the tallest girl, Divya at 168cm and four other guys who are above 172cm thus they can even touch the tip of the door with their hands !

Many of them have expressed interest in taking up basketball as their CCAs. Ms Ong (basketball teacher), did you hear that ? xD

Bedok View PSG Sec1N7

Hi all,

My name is Joanne and my daughter, Faith is in Sec 1N7. My husband and I graduated from Bedok View Secondary School many many years back and we are happy that our daughter is now in Bedok View =)

My husband and I have a lot of fond memories at Bedok View and I still miss my two favourite teachers, Mrs Chee (Geography) and Mr Peter Lai (English) very much. In fact, I grow to love the Geography subject because I like Mrs Chee a lot. She is just so inspiring and caring. I learnt that Mrs Chee has now retired from teaching during the registration day in mid Dec. I hope I can tell her one day that how much she is loved by all her students especially me !

Mr. Peter Lai always has a serious look on his face but he smiled when I requested him to take a photograph with me during my last year at Bedok View. He has always make our english lessons so interesting with his great sense of humor.

We hope that our daughter and every students enjoy the journey at Bedok View as much as my hubby and I do.

Wishing everyone a Happy 2009 !

Cheers
Joanne
