I'm pretty sure that all of you are feeling morose (means moody, pessimistic) about going back to school, so here's somethings that'll help get you through the first day / week / term in school.
(I hear some of you groaning already, but trust me, you're probably the only lucky ones with a teacher to warn you ahead so that you can come prepared.)


> Special programmes for start of school

I don't have the details for it, but instead of normal lessons there are some special programmes that have been arranged (including meeting your Form Teacher). So on the first day, you don't have to bring text books etc (hooray!) BUT please at least bring the following:

- writing materials : paper / stationery (you will probably find that having some nice markers or coloured pens useful)
- reading materials (storybook / newspaper)
- your own diary / notebook to take down things to bring etc


> English Oral Exam (towards the end of Term 1)

Don't mean to put you off but better for you to know earlier than later. You will be taught the new component - Picture Discussion, which will be tested in the exam with the Reading component. You should start preparing for the Reading component on your own now (there won't be time for us to revise during class time). Use Sec 1 notes to revise and practise your reading skills.

My strong personal advice: you should start straightaway if you intend to do well.


> Expect many changes

I'm sure you already expect that Sec 2 work and student life is going to be harder than what you had in Sec 1, but also be prepared for there to be quite a number of changes that the school is going to make. Don't be surprised, shocked or dismayed. :) Changes are usually both good and bad, and changes just always takes getting used to. You'll find out more in the first week of school.


I hope that you found this to be helpful. Take care and rest well! See y'all there on Wednesday!



Always wishing the best for you all,
Mrs Foo
