admiralty primary school's family day 2006



this year's family day was held at the same venue as last year's. we had considered a few other places like woodlands crescent, sentosa and the zoo, but decided that it was more practical and affordable to hold it at sembawang park. the park was not that far from the school; so, should it rain, it would not be too difficult for all of us to make our way back to the school for the wet weather programme. the seaside environment was a more carefree one compared to one surrounded by blocks of flats.

diana came back at the right time, to help plan and organise the day. we decided to pay an external vendor, whom she contacted, to conduct the games and the magic show. she made all the arrangements and negotiation with the vendor.

normala contacted the ice-cream woman to make an appearance at the park. there was a bit of a problem with the park authority regarding this but it was amicably settled. the ice-cream seller was advised to cater to people in the admiralty family only.

exco members contributed money towards the buying of goodies for the children and the prizes for the lucky draw.

the door gifts for adults were sponsored by my former pupil. we had contacted nestle and singapore pools but they were not very forthcoming. the reason they gave was that they had been committed to other groups and organisations.

the family day banner was created by hong ghee. some exco members were at the park earlier to help put up the banner and decorations.
