Dear students,

Due to negative responses for the extra English class. Students can now apply for exemption with a formal letter that will be included into your student file. The letter will bind you legally and will be used against any request for resubmission/resit/retake if you fail any of your examination/assignment. The reason being, students in the past have raised this as an disadvantage for them and they 'deserve' another chance to resubmit/resit/retake their papers. The school is just trying to provide everyone an added advantage but since it has been turned down flatly by most of you, I would appreciate it if you provide the school with a formal letter.

Your letter should have atleast the following:
1) Reason why you should be exempted
2) Provide prove of your level of English ie: IELTS, CIE or relevant
3) That you are proficient enough and do not need English class
4) That if request for resubmission/resit/retake, you are NOT able to use poor in English as an excuse

For those of you that came to see Ms. Christine and myself, i do hope the next time i go into class for your presentation or when i check your assignment there is no grammatical error or typo error. I spotted a few mistakes in Ms Nura's class presentation earlier, funny you tell me that your English is good enough.

All the best,
Calvin

Dear all,

It is time like this that saddens me to announce to the programme that one of your peers have decided to leave the programme. Kindly do wishes him farewell and all the best in whatever path he has chosen to take in his next step of life. Do keep in touch and remain as friends eventhough it has just been a short time of acquaintance.

All the best Tay Kim Hong.

Sincerely,
Calvin
