News flash to all DSOBA members :

2. However, alternate arrangements have now been made with The Chinese Club to provide us with 42 more spaces on a separate floor and those on the waiting list and those still wishing to attend the function can now attend, albeit through live-feed/zoom at the alternate floor and at the same cost @$600/head subject to the same terms as those in the original Notice to members/shareholder(s);
3. Please make your own individual arrangements to swap places with your Si-hing or Si-dai on a “ one-out/ one-in basis “ if you desire to switch to the other floor to have closer contact with the speakers.
Best regards,
Alan Lam

DSOBA Centennial Celebration video series – S for serving
DSOBA has been in close relationship with our beloved school – DBS ever since we were founded. Over the years, we have been serving our school in different aspects. Below video is a highlight of some of OBA’s works that we have done for DBS and the community. We will continue to support DBS in years to come.
I write to enlist your support for the annual edition of our school magazine, the Mini Steps. It will be published at the end of each school year in July. It is a compilation of our school’s events and activities and it contains all valuable information, records and photographs of the year’s activities, both inside and outside the school.
In addition, parents will also receive a complimentary copy of the Secondary Division’s Steps magazine when purchasing the Mini Steps magazine, if so wish. It is our sincere hope that each student will have a set of these magazines.
Yours faithfully,
Ms. Phyllis Lo
Headteacher
