International Friendship Day 2011

In celebration of International Friendship Day, activities from different cultures all over the world were planned for students during the MT periods on April 11. PSG volunteers set up craft stations such as Bunga Manggar ( a traditional decoration used in Malay wedding ceremonies), Mehndi (Henna handpainting originating from India), and Origami Windmills and Hearts (the traditional art of paper folding originating from Japan).


Dances originating from Trinidad and the Philippines were popular with the students too. Many showed off their dexterity at the Limbo Dance ( which originated from the island of Trinidad in the Caribbean) where they had fun trying to dancing under the gradually lowered limbo pole. Lasallians had to be quick-footed while trying out the Tinikling, the national dance of the Philippines which involves two people beating, tapping, and sliding bamboo poles on the ground and against each other in coordination with one or more dancers who step over and in between the poles in a dance.


What a wonderful opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship !

Commissioning of Catechist

The "Commissioning of Catechist" was a simple yet meaningful blessing by Fr Joachim Chang. The short ceremony held during mass demonstrated our commitment as parent catechists to lead Lasallians in our faith. I personally felt strengthened to spread God's Word confidently. It was a fitting start to the DLSS catechism programme.

Familiarization Tour of DLSS Holding Site at 38 Teck Whye Crescent

The much-anticipated familiarization tour of the Teck Whye Holding Site was held on November 13, 2010. Following a briefing by Mr. Kenny Reyes on 11 December, 2010, PSG members conducted more than 30 tours to close to 1,000 parents on November 13, 2010.

During tours around the rustic, sprawling and tree-lined site, PSG members fielded questions from parents who were eager to get a glimpse into the site where their children would spend the next 2 years. PSG members also collated feedback from parents and channeled them to Mr. Reyes.

By the end of the day, although members had sore, aching feet, we were happy to have served as a bridge between parents and the school !

Happy New Year 2010

Off to another great year, this year DLSS participated in the "Back to School with Dad" organised by the Centre for Fathering Singapore.

Details as below.

Date: January 4 – 8, 2010 To encourage men with school-going children to be more actively engaged in their children’s school-life and educational experience. Futher to that, we want to spur fathers to kick off your childs day with a healthy breakfast and a walk from the nearest MRT station, this will add into their 60min of physical activity a day for a healthy mind and body. CFF inaugurated this initiative in 2007. Once again in early 2010, CFF will be sounding the call, for all fathers to accompany their children to school at least once during the first week of a fresh school year.

We want to encourage schools to promote this event as a realtionship building and healthy movement to motivate the fathers to step up and play an integral part of their childrens education life. We are launching a contest to reward Schools and fathers that have shown their support in this initiative.

L.E.A.F day preparation

More than 30 parents came together to prepare for the L.E.A.F days games.

On the 12-13 Mar, Lasallians will be putting aside their academic books to participate in character building activities where they will learn and experience new skills and be fulfilled at the end of the project. The theme for the LEAF project this year is: Learn and Be Enriched .. Try ad Never Give Up.

The PSG will be running 10 different activies on the day, to enchance some of the good values that our Lasallians should be possess.

Prayer Room gets a facelift !

A Holy Water font has been added, Lasallians can now bless themselves when they enter ther Prayer Room.

Holy water is blessed by a priest, and is thus consecrated to God. It is used to remind us in a symbolic way of our entry into life through the baptism of water. Because water is a cleanser and a refresher, it reminds us when we use it of the need for clearing our conscience of sin, and for cleansing our mind of distractions that interfere with prayer. Holy water does not produce these effects, but is a visible, bodily help to activate ourselves to prayer and worship by these and similar thoughts.



We have also added a Prayer Basket for Lasalllians to leave their joy, sorrows or petition for God.

Reading Moms trained !

On the first Wednesday of the school year, 12 parent volunteers gathered in Computer Lab One for a briefing on the 'I Can Read' programme by Md Koh Ting Ting. Previously, we were using reading cards with the P3 and P4 students. This year, the students will use the computer programme, PM Plus, as well as the reading cards, to inject some fun into the reading sessions.

Md Koh was very helpful and shared with us her expertise and experience in this area. Her energy and enthusiasm were inspiring. We hope we can help these students, who come to us once a week, to improve their command of the English language and to develop a love for reading. We also want to give them a good dose of encouragement and some TLC every week!

Blessed 2009 to everyone !

First project from Parent Support Group this year! Members were engaged at the 2 gates of the school to welcome the P1 Lasallians and parents. Either the milk powder is getting nourishing or due to global warming, the children are really getting smarter and more independent. Not a single Lasallian cried. But one mommy did !!

Polymer Clay workshop

I am thankful to DeLa Salle School for organizing the Clay Making Activity and the Parenthood Talk on 08/11/2008.

I am fortunate to have gained these wonderful experiences through such meaningful activities. The process of the clay making conducted by the speaker, Mr How was clear and precise. We all enjoyed the whole session and the molding of the snail fridge magnet is something we had not done before.

As for the Parenthood Talk, I have learnt to communicate better with my children through many ways. From when to teach to when to punish, everything was really useful.

On the whole , we as parents enjoyed it very much and we strongly felt that the Speaker, Mr How’s suggestions and guidelines were extremely useful.

With Thanks For Everything!
